pia-wg

A WireGuard configuration utility for Private Internet Access

This is a Python utility that generates WireGuard configuration files for the Private Internet Access VPN service. This allows you to take advantage of the WireGuard protocol without relying on PIA's proprietary client.

This was created by reverse engineering the manual-connections script released by PIA. At this stage, the tool is a quick and dirty attempt to get things working. It could break at any moment if PIA makes changes to their API.

pia-wg runs on both Windows and Linux.

This is just a cli version of the original tool, also I packaged it into a proper python package.
