I’m not sure; I installed my PIA differently from other guides I found here, i.e. [OpenVPN with PIA?](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/openvpn-with-pia/997/1) and the git guide ended up with me formatting dietpi and doing a fresh install.

I installed TigerVNC from there I installed the desktop version of PIA

This method has worked a treat, and I can use the VPN killswitch and split tunnel. However, Transmission loads before PIA (which I’m guessing Transmission loads before TigerVNC), and as a result, my real IP shows till PIA kicks in.

I thought it would be easier to add a delay to Transmission to sleep x seconds giving TigerVNC/PIA time to start.

It is not the best method to install the VPN, but it works and is the most simple.

Thanks again
