Title: PIA Installation with Encrypted Home Directory
Post by: blmcevers on June 03, 2017, 03:04:19 PM
Hi,

I am new to Linux Lite (and Linux). I have migrated from Windows OS and hope to never return again.

I have a standard 64bit Linux Lite Installation on a Dell Lattitude E5520, with an encrypted Home Directory. I installed my PIA VPN client per the instructions here:

The installation instructions allowed me to successfully install PIA, yet when I tried to connect, it wouldn't.

I did a google search and found these instructions on how to install PIA with an Encrypted Home Directory:

With the above instructions I was able to successfully connect to my PIA VPN

Hope this helps someone,

Cheers
