PIA and OpenVPN
Install OpenVPN
sudo apt-get install openvpn unzip -y cd /etc/openvpn
Download Private Internet Access
sudo wget --no-check-certificate https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn.zip sudo unzip openvpn.zip ls -lh
Pick a Country to use as Primary VPN
cp spain.ovpn spain_bp.ovpn vi spain_bp.ovpn
At the end of the file, add Routes to the Local Networks (if needed)
route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 net_gateway route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 net_gateway
Add Credentials to Login.txt file
sudo vi /etc/openvpn/login.txt
In this format:
username password
Limit access to login file
sudo chmod 700 /etc/openvpn/login.txt
Add nameservers to DNS (if needed)
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf sudo chattr +i /etc/resolve.conf
At this point, you should be able to test with:
sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/spain_bp.ovpn --auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/login.txt
And then to test that your network providers IP is hidden:
wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO -
