Ok so the basics are - paid for and downloaded WSA Complete (with VPN off the whole time), installed on Win 10 64 bit, no problems, all seemed pretty standard. Did a reboot and then.... noticed Private Internet Access trying its little heart out trying and trying and trying to connect to the internet - absolutley no joy. So, as you do, googled "WSA + blocked VPN + PIA" - and oh boy oh boy has this happened a few times before with other VPN providers. So added all relevant PIA exe's to the PC Security / Block & Allow files - Allow all PIA exes. With WSA's firewall on.. checked to see if PIA was being blocked - Nope, nothing is being blocked, but just in case, killed the firewall.
I cant seem to find area in setting so can check if URL is on Ignore list, just in case privateinternetaccess.com is blocked.
What do I do now? Please any help would be so so appreciated.
Why oh Why cant I find a child who has heaps more computer experience/knowledge than I do... mmm
😕

Welcome, @ !
Adding to Petr's post, here are the instructions our Support Team provided to you in their response.
1. Open SecureAnywhere and click the gear icon to the right of "Identity Protection."
2. Click on the "Application Protection" tab.
3. In the lower right corner, click "Add Application."
