No connection to internet

ferrariz

I can't seem to connect to the internet with PIA on anymore. Nothing changed from my end, no new software installed, no firewall or antivirus but now whenever I try and connect with it on, regardless of region, I just get an INTERNET NOT FOUND 

I checked the DNS settings, its always on Obtain Servers automatically.. 

Any ideas what else I can try?

Follow PIAAnna advise. But before you do, try pinging any URL from a CMD prompt. This will tell you if the DNS is resolving or not.

C:\Windows\System32>ping privateinternetaccess.com
