      Maybe a little help for same problem.  My PIA/OpenVPN Pfsense has worked wonderfully last 11 months.  Then last week I started getting the OpenVpn client down, but PIAVpn interface, dhcp Lan and Wan were all Up.  I restart the OpenVpn client and it runs for maybe 12-16hrs, then it's down again.  I would appreciate some assistance.  What log do I read and what am I looking for?
      Thanks!

        Has nothing to do with the thread you posted in, split to its own thread. What do your OpenVPN logs show?

          Sorry, wasn't sure.  Thank you for the correction.  Logs attached.

            You're losing the ability to resolve DNS, that's the root of the issue.

            Nov 2 19:47:11 openvpn[80808]: RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: us-east.privateinternetaccess.com: hostname nor servname provided, or not known

            You normally reach your DNS via the VPN?

              I followed the PIA OpenVPN tutorial in this forum.  I think it should be from pfsense which takes it from my router, no?
