Connecting PIA VPN in Mint 17

Post by WilhelmGGW »

I have a new install of Mint 17, and tried everything I could find to figure out how to configure my Private Internet Access VPN service, all without success. Finally I contacted Customer Support online and the rep sent me this link: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/1940/pia-vpn-app-linux-beta

I tried it and it works splendidly! I highly recommend PIA and this procedure for anyone wanting a great VPN.

Life Saver thank you for this. Been trying for over an hour to get PPTP going with no luck.

Actually, to setup mint via PPTP is rather easy if you follow their guide here:

I didn't even know they had made a client app for linux yet, but I'll probably hold off on using it till it's out of beta. :)
