      Apologies if a feature request is inappropriate here. It would be great if there was a pfSense package that makes it easy to maintain a WireGuard tunnel to Private Internet Access, the VPN service provider.

      PIA currently requires running a script that calls their APIs to initiate a WireGuard connection. It's probably more complicated than this, but this package would need a webpage to record the PIA username and password, run the PIA script, and monitor the connection to reestablish it as needed. It would likely need the WireGuard package as a prerequisite.

      PIA's OpenVPN servers have been getting slower, so I'm hoping their WG servers are better. I've heard that Mullvad WG is faster and easier to set up.

        Did you get anywhere with connecting PIA using a Wireguard tunnel?

          @_rp No, I tried a couple sets of scripts but gave up trying to get them to work. I'm sticking with OpenVPN until the WireGuard process improves.
