      Spent hours on google and this forum. A few have tried with the PIA patch that is out, but I can't find anyone who actually has it working.

      If anybody got the SHA256/AES256 settings working, please post here how you achieved it.

      Thanks.

            PIA was limited to BF-CBC, SHA1 for quite some time.
