Well, that fix I suggested seems to no longer be working.. new patch must have changed something.
pia.conf should indeed be blank before running "pia -a"

I managed to get it working by changing the Cipher in Network Manager's VPN Configure...> Edit <VPN Name> > VPN Tab > Advanced > Security > Cipher: Set to AES-128-CBC.
Putting anything regarding the cipher in pia.conf would cause `pia -a` to fail for me.

@rootusercyclone
If you're getting Messing Section Header errors copy the /etc/private-internet-access-vpn/pia-example.conf to pia.conf. You'll see the example file has section headers i.e. [pia] and [configure].

The sha256sum of openvpn.zip is now 0ab48c38d1083362d4aaf3d7fb04ce7e1589f5a297675da6effe4f004e2e0b33.

@flomax when I do that I get this error when I run "sudo pia -a":
configparser.MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers.
file: '/etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf', line: 1
'cipher aes-128-cbc\n'

The openvpn.zip is again (or still) failing the validity check -- seems like upstream is making quite a few changes.

It seems the openvpn.zip file is failing the validity check..
The sha256sum of the zip file is 'd318fb24aeefda24ad9057dd2955028972928172ed0b4683a10b20f0990e8180'
and the sha256sum in the PKGBUILD is '9739d03ea56dff678d76c8b702c4daf51b671a805e9b8920859275bd47b094cd'
Thanks!

@nicoroud All I did was write in that single line ("cipher aes-128-cbc") to /etc/private-internet-access/pia.conf ; sudo pia -a ; sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service .. no [pia] or [configure] in the file, just that single line.
Worked fine on my laptop but haven't been home to try on my desktop yet.

Ahh, NM. There is a pull request for the cipher addition. I didn't notice it due to me using mainly Connman. =P

Note that this package provides only VPN profiles but not the vendor’s software.
The package version refers to the
python-piatool by @flamusdiu, which may lag behind the vendor’s own VPN software version.Please do not flag this package out-of-date unless @flamusdiu releases a new stable
python-piaversion.Thank you!
