      Hello, I have setup my pfsense box to route all my data to PIA with the OpenVPN Client. Everything is working great; however it seems like after a week or so the VPN Client status turns to down and I cannot access the internet. I have to go into pfsense and restart the VPN Client in order to get it back up and running. I am guessing that PIA kicks me out after a certain amount of time? I was wondering if there was a way to make the VPN Client automatically restart after a set period of time (Like 3 days or so)? Is that possible and do you think that would fix the problem?

        Hi, I am a PIA customer too and am looking to set up my VPN client but am struggling a little. Would you mind sharing your setup? PM me if you don't want the details shared on the forum. Thanks.
