hi

i d/l pia client and it installed without problems (i had to sym link route and ipconfig if i remember), but when after i start it and login i can’t connect to any pia server.
any idea why? what to check? how to fix?

thanks for reading

  • service piavpn added to runlevel default
    piavpn | * Caching service dependencies … [ ok ]
    piavpn | * Starting piavpn … [ ok ]
    :heavy_check_mark: Created piavpn openrc service

only thing strange to me is that pia added groups piavpn and piahnsd but when i run groups (root or user) i don’t have that 2 groups on list.
pia-daemon and pia-client running
