private internet access linux reporting wrong ip

So, I'll start here.Īlso in the settings of your network, could you check if you selected 'automatic' next to the DNS settings?

Their 1st Tier support aren't much to brag about, especially when it comes to Linux. I got 'cable unplugged' until I deleted and recreated the wired Ethernet connection which is rebuilt with default setting. I attempted to add 8.8.8.8 to my Additional DNS setting in the IPv4 tab on the Ethernet connection but all that accomplished was to FUBARed that connection. Perhaps something downloaded from the Update Manager that screwed up the DNS settings.

I do install level 1, 2, and 3 security related updates from the Update Manager. I have not updated the PIA client or any other networking configurations.

If I reconnect PIA VPN, both the wired and wireless connections work again.īoth my wired and wireless setting are setup with default settings and get their DNS address via DHCP. I've checked that I'm able to connect to websites that I know if I enter their IP address, so I have network connectivity. DNS name resolution isn't happening on either my wired or wireless connections when the VPN is disconnected. So I figure without the VPN connected I have DNS issues. If I disconnect the VPN, via Chrome I get a ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED. The only way that I have connectivity is when the VPN is connected.

I'm running Private Internet Access VPN v65 but I've noticed some very strange behavior.
