PIA

[CrankyOldBugger]

As I understand it, and I recommend that you get a second opinion, if you
have the little green man icon at the top then you're using the PIA client,
but if you connect by going through the Network Manager icon, then
selecting from the VPN list, that this is the OpenVPN client.

The little green man part I'm sure of, the NM/VPN/OpenVPN part I'm 50%
sure.  So check that.

I'm assuming that you installed your Linux client the same way I did, by
following
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/ubuntu-openvpn.
At some point in that process it does seem to want to install OpenVPN, so
we could be good to go, but I would investigate that further.

I updated my little green man on my Windows machines, I haven't seen an
update for Linux yet.

Still, PIA was possibly the first to offer a fix for this security issue
(even though the first fix didn't work), then they followed up with a very
explanatory letter saying that they were wrong and that we should do Fix
#2.  That gives me some comfort knowing that they're on the ball.
