PIA OVPN broke need help with new setup (NextGen)

Hi,

sudo netfilter-persistent save

and when you get a chance, reboot the pi and make sure the vpn comes up.

I think the bits you are missing are creating the timer, starting and enabling; all you have created is the service. I think these should get it going:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/openvpn-watchdog.timer :

[Unit]
Description=OpenVPN Watchdog timer

[Timer]
OnCalendar=*:0/15

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

Then issue:

sudo systemctl start openvpn-watchdog.timer
sudo systemctl enable openvpn-watchdog.timer

Thanks Tom.
