To those who are running OpenVPN using the PIA provided configs on windows (7).
Im getting an error which pops up after 2hrs of being connected saying that the vpn has been disconnected. The disconnect button disappears but in reality the vpn is still connected, just the gui thinks its not.
Anyone know whats going on with that and how to fix it?

Have you ticked the box under settings that says "start application a logon" and "auto connect when app starts"
is it better to setup via the router or on each pc?

I would go with router if wanting to get everything behind the VPN Plus in my small test I saw much better speeds with VPN on router.

It really depends.
If you do it at router level, and then login to things like social media, or google mail etc with your VPN IP Address, technically you're no longer anonymous. Whereas doing it at client / pc level, you can turn on / off as you please.
There's arguments either way depending on your level of anonymity required

Does anybody else have problem finding VPN section on Billion 7800NXL? I think it may not support this feature having looked on OzCableguy (http://www.ozcableguy.com/review.asp?router=7800NXL).
So far I installed v.47 PIA client and using at its default settings (enabled VPN kill switch/DNS leak protection/IPv6 protection).
Do I need to do anything else? I use qBittorrent and Chrome/Firefox/Operah to browse torrent sites.
I seem to be finding a few websites that I come across are blocking access while I am on VPN. Are people finding this? For example can't view carsales.com.au reuqest has been blocked.

It worked for me through pia.
For example can't view carsales.com.au reuqest has been blocked.
working fine here, even tried u.s .france and aussie servers. All let me onto the site no problem.
If your accessing using a bookmark try access thru google search.
edit, i haven't come across any sites blocking access, but i do primarily use the Aussie servers.
Maybe try clearing your cookies,cache and site preferences on your browser.

You get that, for instance you can't post an ad on gumtree or you can't view content on iview etc. because they're region specific Sometimes changing to the PIA Aus servers will do it other times you just need to disconnect the VPN. Also sometimes Whirlpool will block you and make you fill in a capcha box.
I am using the Melb servers so geo locking should not be an issue. Will try the suggestions posted, thanks boys.

Tried all that and still no go. I could get onto carsales a couple days ago today nothing. I'll see if this persists.
i'm guessing you have tried / tested more than one browser ?

yeah I have and tried mobile devices. no go might change the melb server to another melb server as I think there are 2.
Well changing the server to the other melb one fixed the issue. But it is no good that it happens at all.

Welcome to the wonderful world of geo blocking
Where did you find the 2nd Melbourne server? I only see one on the PIA server list.
The other one is listed in the PIA APP.
PIA only list two AU servers, on the website they appear as
Australia (AU VPN)
aus.privateinternetaccess
aus-melbourne.privateinternetaccess.com
But it the app version I have they are listed as one in Sydney and the other in Melbourne
PIA doesn't have a Server in China. Is it true that no VPN providers have reliable and usable VPN servers to China these days, given the upgraded Great Wall?
Edit: add comment FROM EXPRESS VPN CONSULTANT WITH PERMISSION: I think there are other VPN providers who have servers in China � as for their usability � we do not have accurate information about the other VPN providers.
We do know that China does not allow VPN services in China and frequently try to block VPN services. So it would make sense that they would not allow any VPN service to actually setup a VPN server in their country.

PIA dont do that.

i must have logged onto whirlpool forum initially when i was on sydney's server. now when i use melbourne server whirlpool blocks me saying dued to suspicious acitivities on this server!!!??? it still let me in with sydney server however.
I have a FritzBox 7490 and want to configure PIA at the router level.
Have read mixed reviews that it is and isn't possible.
Has anyone been successful is using this router and PIA?
I'd prefer to not buy another device just to get a VPN.
Auto connect always connects me to Sydney and it's so slowww. To the point that Facebook and Youtube home page will take nearly a minute to load.
No problems when I'm not on the VPN.

right click on the app icon and choose another server as your default rather than auto connect, try Melbourne or Singapore, if a server is slow try swapping around till you find a faster connection. If that doesn't help it might be in your setup so contact the live help.
Been meaning to ask for a while but keep forgetting so here goes: How do you get PIA to auto start with Windows 10?
The box is ticked in PIA, it's in the windows startup section but it doesn't start until I manually click the icon.
Whilst not a big issue, is there a simple fix to this?

There's been a few posts saying that you need the latest PIA client to re enable the auto feature. This post here links to the software you probably need. /forum-replies.cfm?t=2340617&p=98#r1943

It might be a glitch in the app but I know that some people miss the fact that you need to have both boxes in the setting ticked i.e. < start Application at Logon > AND < Auto-Connect When App is Started>
Thanks for the above, both of those are ticked so no luck there.
There are reports of others having the same issue but there doesn't appear to be a definite fix as yet.

Have a talk with PIA the 'live chat' is pretty good.
I fixed it creating a "At Login" task in Task Scheduler. Loads fine every time using that method.

Didn't realise this was out, have downloaded and will see if that makes a difference.
EDIT: Oh hell yeah, now we're cooking. The update worked perfectly upon a restart of the Laptop.
Thanks Batfink and Dreyfus.
What version is the Mac Client up to?
What version is the Mac Client up to?
I find it very hard to work out the version because the install and the application itself are so convoluted (by Mac standards). But I download the latest version today and it is different. My old version had a grey PIA figure in the menu bar � now I have a padlock. So all I can say is that the Mac client is now the 'padlock' version.
