I says I am connected but when I try to log into PS4 account an errror happens and I can't connect. without the VPN everything is fine. I used a code from the Florida server on another post so maybe that has something to do with it? Thank you.

Hey, welcome to the forum! 

 

Have your console hard turned off, with Geo-filter disabled. Apply the VPN - make sure you aren't putting any exceptions through on the PS4. Then try again.

Ok, it ended up being I had to change the code above.

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote us-midwest.privateinternetaccess.com 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
tls-client
remote-cert-tls server
auth-user-pass
comp-lzo
verb 1
reneg-sec 0
crl-verify crl.pem

And also get my correct ca.crt text inserted. Now everything works but I have a new problem. The speed is terrible!

 

If I use the VPN US-Midwest I get my full line speed 50/5 but when connecting through the router that speed goes to about 9/2 sometimes worse. Are there some settings I can adjust to improve the speeds? I have also tested these speeds on a few devices that are connected and it always is about the same 9/2.

 

Thank you.

Due to the encryption it's going to slow down your speeds because the router's cpu can't handle going any faster... I believe there is a way to turn off encryption while still being on the VPN. But may I ask why you are using the VPN anyway?

 

By the way that speed is plenty to play on.

No reason other than its there. I have been DDOS'ed before but its rare to see it happen to others. I do stream on occasion and this does not work with that, not enough bandwidth. Not a big deal I can route my PS4 through my Ubuntu PC that is connected to VPN and I get full throughput. Just thought it was cool as hell to be able to switch it on and off right from the control panel. Thank you for your help and explanations.
