Asked by TechieFox87
I'm transitioning from Windows to Bazzite and I'm trying to install my VPN, but nothing seems to work. I've followed the instructions on the PIA website and tried a bunch of different fixes, yet I've spent the last two hours trying to get it to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Doesn't Bazzite run on KDE? If so, you can manually add a WireGuard interface there. Itโ€™s actually pretty simpleโ€”you just select a server and activate the interface without needing to rely on a separate application.

You could also try downloading the installation script from PIA's website. Once you've got that, head to your terminal in the download folder and run `sudo chmod +x scriptname.sh`, then just execute it with `./scriptname.sh`. It should be straightforward!

VPN applications can be tricky on Bazzite. Instead, you can integrate the VPN function directly into your desktop. Check out the Bazzite docs on how to import VPN configuration files through the GUI. Just make sure to download a configuration file from PIA after logging into their site! That should help you set up multiple servers if you need them.

It sounds like you might need to try something different. Depending on what you've attempted so far, it could be worth exploring the integration options instead of just installing a VPN application.
