      several times now the connection I use for PIA has had maintenance and no connection, what is a way to avoid this?

        You can setup as many OpenVPN Client connections as you want and put them in a Gateway Group.

          @Rico cool and thanks. Newbie to this. So if one fails the other will route traffic automatically?

            Yes, you can use them like you would do with Multi WAN.
