How to install PIA VPN on UT (Working!)
-
@Craig I tried the methods you recommend that are at https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/kb/articles/linux-setting-up-manual-openvpn-connection-through-the-terminal
... I ran into a problem: my phablet is a read-only file system and even if I use sudo I can't get anything downloaded or unzipped in /etc/openvpn
Can you suggest a solution, please?
Thanks, Darly

@Daryl You could install the UT Tweak Tool from the Open Store. Open it up, select 'System' from the top left menu, select 'Make Image Writeable' and then select the option you want on the next screen. To avoid problems don't foeget to make the system read only when you have finished. Also be aware that you may have to make the same changes after each update.

@Ian HI Ian:
I installed UT Tweek tool. There was no "System" on the left.Me so sad. This would have been a great solution.

@Craig Hi Craig:
I typed the 4 lines separately, and then tried sudo openvpn us_atlanta.ovpnGot the error message: Error opening configuratin file: us_atlanta.ovpn
.... us_atlanta.ovpn is definately in the directory I issued the commands in.

@Daryl What is it you are trying to install? And what OS are you trying to install it on?
In a previous post you made it looked like you were taking instructions from the PIA website that was designed for Ubuntu Desktop and trying to install it on Ubuntu Touch.

But the new scripts don't work on UT. One reason is the version of curl available on UT is older. Another reason is write permission problems as their newer scripts don't anticipate ARM architecture. Another reason is how we have to prefix all calls of Libertine installed programs in their script with libertine, which is a pain.

@mamaji77111 Yes, true. I had to address all those issues to get the VPN install script to work again.
