Although I initially tested this on Raspbian Stretch on a Raspberry Pi, I have since used the same steps on Debian Stretch and achieved the same results. To accomplish this task we are going to need to install openvpn, unzip, wget, curl and openresolv.
We can do this by using the following command:. Just to keep things organized we will create a set of directories. This will help if we ever need to alter the configuration by only requiring the change of a couple of linked files. We are going to download those configurations, alter them a bit and use them to connect to the PIA VPN server as soon as our system finishes booting up. Switch to the directory we created to store the configuration bundle by issuing the following command:.
Now that we have the zipped file with all the configurations we need to unzip it by using the following command:. This command will unzip the openvpn. We are doing this so that in the future if there is a need to download a new set of configurations we can easily tell which directory contains the newly downloaded ones.
Once the file is unzipped we can start moving the configurations to the directories we previously created. Because we want the OpenVPN client to start without user interaction, we need to add a couple of settings to all VPN configuration files we just downloaded. Change to the directory where we stored them by issuing the following command:. If you need more info, read the dhclient.
I edited my dhclient. Vinny Baggadonuts said:. Click to expand I really like this article and refer to it from time to time when setting up a FreeBSD machine. I did the following to resolve this: 1. Thanks for this. I used to use PIA and was pretty happy with the service. I am with a different VPN provider now just because of pricing. With both I often need to change my VPN exit point, chasing the best speed.
For this reason I tend to let each device that needs VPN run its own client, as it's much easier to change settings via the various GUIs than to log in to the firewall, then make a global change that may disrupt connections already in place. PeteDana : This is a model of documentation. Thank you very much. What's IN the file? Maybe it does operations on a nonexistent file?

Order in rc. My apologies to dig up this thread. I am running FreeBSD OpenVPN package is 2.
