Hey there.
I live in a dorm with very strict internet regulation and because of that all the native iOS VPN options won't work for me.
Thats why I installed OpenVPN and used it with HideMyAss which worked good. Today my subscription ended and I moved to PIA (publicinternetaccess.com).
The problem with PIA in combination with OpenVPN on iOS seems to be that PIA uses a different system for their .crt somehow. Thats why I get the error: "No certificates are present in the Keychain". But I definitely imported the ca.crt given by PIA.
After some googling I found a thread here in the forums (topic12133.html) in which was stated: "It seems that the app explicitly asks for a "client.key" and "client.crt". Otherwise it just gives the notification that no certificates are present". The thread itself seems to be about a different topic (NAS and such) and has been deserted for some months.
I'm not that tech savvy and don't know what to do now. Anybody here able and willing to help?
/edit:
I looked at the difference of the HideMyAss and PrivateInternetAccess configs and copied the missing <cert> and <key> part of HMI to the config of PrivateInternetAccess. I then imported it and the error disappeared. If I try to connect now OpenVPN says "Pulling settings from server", is then downloading some bytes and disconnecting after a while due to connection time out. Any ideas on this progress? on topic: http://i.imgur.com/xVyoSl.jpg
