      Strange Behavior
      1.  Connect to us-florida.privateinternetaccess.com on port 1197/udp (using their 4096-bit CA certificate, not the normal 2048-bit one).
      2.  Visit https://privateinternetaccess.com
      3.  Firefox will refuse to connect to the site due to the certificate chain being broken.  It uses Cisco OpenDNS Umbrella certificate.

      Normal Behavior
      1.  Connect to any other American PIA gateway on port 1197/udp.
      2.  Visit https://privateinternetaccess.com
      3.  Firefox will connect to the site just fine.  The certificate is issued by Symantec to London Trust Media.

      Weird…
