At some point, the machine for which I set up command-line access for Private Internet Access started giving me more and more troubles with PIA. The VPN connections build into GNOME would give a "client update needed" message next to each possible VPN connection, and no amount of re-installation or removal then new installation of the software would help. It turned out that PIA is pushing users to use their GUI, or so it would seem based on how hard it was to get OpenVPN (and also, OpenVPN3 sucks) to work. But in the end, removing PIA entirely, upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04.7 to 18.04 (because LTS support expired at the end of April 2021), and installing PIA with the GUI, worked.
