I tried this from github on MX 18.2 and it gives a working PIA client, (the latest version).

Thanks for testing. Good that it works. So, we can prepare something within MX Package Installer -> Popular Apps -> VPN.

Can confirm, when installing from MXPI sudo password is not being accpeted. After exiting and running dpkg --configure -a in terminal install completed and client is running. Thank you for this fehlix :toast:
