Private Internet Access

Something has changed with PIA.
. . . It wouldn't connect with Chicago for several days
. . . Now it connects but no access anywhere
. . . Support said to connect to WirGuard instead of OpenVPN
It works

Linux SSH

*Be sure to turn off firewall or configure 22 to ssh on Linux.
SSH should be easy to set up but sometimes it is a pain.
 More Detail Here
Here is a bunch of good commands.
https://devconnected.com/how-to-install-and-enable-ssh-server-on-debian-10/

sudo apt-get install openssh-server


Now use 
... Putty
...... WinSCP
......... Or Windows 10 terminal "ssh ip address of Linux" I know, it's crazy.


/etc/init.d/ssh start
/etc/init.d/ssh stop
/etc/init.d/ssh restart

service ssh start
service ssh stop
service ssh restart

systemd
systemctl start ssh
systemctl stop ssh
systemctl restart ssh
systemctl enable ssh

Simple Samba Conf File

2020-09-05 See This

What a pain in the butt -
 . . . good old reliable twins work
. . . ssh & WinSCP
Unless you are in Mint, etc where setting up a share is easy.
Not sure if Nautlis Share can be used on the others.

Worked fine in Bohdi but not PopOS
...Suggestion - add to the bottom of existion smb.conf instead of replacing smb.conf totally
smb.conf file
[global]
server role = standalone server
map to guest = Bad User
usershare allow guests = guest
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16 (basic security but not needed) (192.168.1.0/16 be specific?)
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 (basic security but not needed)

[testfolder]
comment = test folder
path = /home/george/testfolder
read only = no
guest ok = yes
force user = george (not sure needed)
force group = george (not sure needed)

Be sure Windows has smb1 active in features
