PIA-provider server selection is flaky here (random dead IPs); the operator's .ovpn
uses sweden.privacy.network (load-balanced, reliable). Switch to custom mode
(VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom, OPENVPN_CUSTOM_CONFIG=/config/pia.ovpn), mount the
pia-custom-ovpn Secret, keep creds + kill-switch + tun-mtu 1300. Drops PIA-provider
server list/updater and native PF (Phase-6 concern). Pending the operator-provisioned
pia-custom-ovpn Secret (not merged until it exists).
