Have PIA installed and has been working for several years with no problem. I launch it from the menu and an applet appears near the clock in the task bar. I can then connect to the server of my choice from that applet.
The Problem: I accidentally clicked "remove applet" and it is gone. The notification that I am disconnected appears for about 10 seconds after I try to launch it from the menu, and then disappears, but the applet is no longer in the tray. I can't connect to any server, so I can't use the VPN. How can I get my applet (and VPN) back? I do need this working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Running Mint 18 Cinnamon

Re: Issue with Private Internet Access applet
PIA just put out an new version, maybe installing the new version will sort things out for you.
Re: Issue with Private Internet Access applet
Didn't want to install the newest PIA yet, but solved my problem. Right clicked on the bar, install applets, restore default. PIA icon is back and works.
