Solved PIA VPN failing to connect recently

[HearToLearn]

Is anyone else experiencing VPN issues with PIA? Ever since they've started rolling out NextGen I've had to switch to alternative countries until now there are none.

Apologies, after posting this I noticed they had totally changed their domain names [region].privacy.network

Their switch caught me off guard too. I didn't get any notification from them and had to scramble to figure out why I suddenly couldn't connect. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one.
