PrivateInternetAccess Port Forwarding Script
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#original script by Hanashi from PIA forums, mods to update transmission by Doonze
#converted to python3 and Deluge support added by Rastan
### IMPORTS
import requests
import json
import sys
import netifaces
import os
import getopt
import hashlib
###VARIABLES
#Which Action to take. Currently supported are:
# print : Print your public IP address and port
# portonly : Return only the port number. Useful for piping to another program
# deluge : Configure Deluge's incoming port.
# transmission : Configure Transmission's incoming port

#Fetch the password from file. Specify the path to your pialogin.txt file you use for openvpn
#First line should be your PIA login
#Second line should be your PIA password

#If the file path is set to anything but "", it overrides this setting

# This should be a long random string, or something that no one else is going
# to be able to guess. Don't share this amongst multiple computers on the
# same VPN account. If you have more than one computer, use a different client
# ID for each. I recommend the output of the Linux "uuidgen" command, but
# you can really just use whatever.
# Default is the SHA1 hash of your username and password.

# VPN tunnel on the same system or something)
