<details><summary>Openvpn disconnects because of a ping timeout</summary><p>
It happens especially on some PIA servers where they change their configuration or the server goes offline.
You will obtain an error similar to:
```s

```
To fix it, you would have to run openvpn with root, by setting the environment variable `OPENVPN_ROOT=yes`.
