Hi,

PIA is not connecting. Any help appreciated

I am getting the following error in the log:

This error? ERROR: Linux route -6 add command failed: external program exited with error status: 2

You can ignore that. OpenVPN insists on adding an IPv6 route, even though it is disabled. PIA doesn't support IPv6 either. If the config files were failing to download, you would not get this far.

Are you certain you can't connect through the proxy on 0.0.0.0:8118?

If I try and access a webpage (example www.rte.ie) via Firefox with that proxy address set i get the following error: 2022-04-05 05:35:09.461 7f846591fb38 Request: www.rte.ie:443/ 2022-04-05 05:35:14.466 7f846591fb38 Info: Can not resolve www.rte.ie: Try again 2022-04-05 05:35:14.469 7f846591fb38 Crunch: DNS failure: www.rte.ie:443 2022-04-05 05:35:25.596 7f846591fb38 Request: push.services.mozilla.com:443/ 2022-04-05 05:35:30.599 7f846591fb38 Info: Can not resolve push.services.mozilla.com: Try again 2022-04-05 05:35:30.603 7f846591fb38 Crunch: DNS failure: push.services.mozilla.com:443

That's a DNS issue. You may have to manually add a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. Or try redeploying or restarting the container, and see if that fixes it.

I took out the PIA DNS servers set in the Docker run (209.222.18.218 & 209.222.18.222). Once I recreated the container it worked for me. Not sure if this is specific to my set up but either way it is working now. Thanks for your help
