Create a login details text file so you can log on to the PIA VPN automatically



* <code>sudo vim /etc/openvpn/login.txt</code>



Input your username and password, replace username with your actual username and password with your actual VPN password in this format



<pre>username

password</pre>



Change the permission of the login.txt file so it is only owned by root which will solve&nbsp;this error&nbsp;<code>WARNING: file '/etc/openvpn/login.txt' is group or others accessible</code>



* <code>sudo chmod 700 /etc/openvpn/login.txt</code>
