    Heres my conf file...

    client
    dev tun
    proto udp
    remote uk-london.privateinternetaccess.com 1198
    resolv-retry infinite
    nobind
    persist-key
    persist-tun
    cipher aes-128-cbc
    auth sha1
    tls-client
    remote-cert-tls server
    auth-user-pass password.conf
    comp-lzo
    verb 1
    reneg-sec 0
    crl-verify crl.rsa.2048.pem
    ca ca.rsa.2048.crt
    disable-occ

    Another question is I'm using notepad to adjust conf files....should I be using a dedicated text editor?? as sometimes using notepad "adjusts stuff" ie when using powershell....ie when I view this in notepad its one line whereas when I paste into here it puts it all on separate lines.

    Another question is, should you have just the username and the password on separate lines in the password file ie this

    xxxxxx
    xxxxxx

    or

    User: xxxxxxx
    Password: xxxxxx

    which is how ive currently got it set....if one thing ive learnt from Linux config files is it has to be pin sharp otherwise it wont work (which is what I suspect now)....

    Try the attached files. Generate a username/password on the PIA website under the PPTP/L2TP/SOCKS section. You need to edit the password.conf file with the username/password you generated on two separate lines.

    Upload all 4 files to etc/openvpn, restart your receiver and you should be good to go.

    Sok...I just got it working...! Thanks very much to all...I'd say ( personally for me ) using notepad++ made everything easier to see!!
