[SOLVED] PIA / Open Vpn issues

I am trying to connect to PIA over open VPN but I keep getting the IP config of the VPN Connection is invalid. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I mean I configured it the same way with a diff Arch Linux distro, It should work. Is it because no systemd?

I wouldnt think so. I use wireguard, but not from a VPN provider, but from my router as it is also my wireguard server. Mostly to keep my phone's connection encrypted while away from home and connect to my network. I find wireguard safer from one perspective, if connection drops, there is no data transfer, unlike openvpn. If connection between ovpn and server drops, then connections are still going through just not through vpn.

I got it to work using wireguard following these instructions.
