      I have PIA up and running with the AES-128 encryption. I want to step that up to something even stronger. How do I go about doing that?

      I followed a great tutorial on this forum to get my initial setup going. It's set to route certain mac addresses through PIA and the rest go through my ISP. I don't want to completely start over, just upgrade to a stronger encryption.

        you can just change your setting by using,
        AES-256-CBC
        SHA-256
        on port 1197 using PIA Strong Certificate https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-strong.zip
