Private Internet Access (VPN) broke recently

[CodeCode]

As an aside, I noticed a change after updating PIA as well. Recently.

I found that PIA does not like the SysInfoData-= to be a zero. That is if PIA was the first named adapter on the list, it would be a zero.

So a simple substitute in the MeasureVPN to have "0":"(a number that is not an active adapter) say "9". Pia then forgives you and goes back to working.

You don't really need the [OnlineStatus] measure, since [MeasureNetwork] won't be replaced by 1 as you want. You simply have to remove the latter's Substitute, remove the former measure and correct the typo in the regex flag syntax (i.e. (?i) instead of {?i)) for it to work, since the IfMatch will take care of stuff properly (but only IF the regex pattern there is properly escaped, be aware of that - e.g. if you have a dot there and it's not escaped it won't work!):

I also have no idea what's with the [Update] measure there and what it's suppose to do, it's kind of a nonsense for me, but that's another matter...
