Lee you have been really great about answering questions. I hope you won’t mind one more for now.
I have multiple users on my computer. I can’t find anything on the PIA’s help pages about installing the software for individual users. I added the PIA app to logon items for one user but I get an error message when I log into that user. Do I have to run the install program for each user? Thanks.
