piactl: Disconnect from Private Internet Access.
$ piactl disconnect
try on your machine
The command "piactl disconnect" is used to disconnect the internet connection established through a Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN (Virtual Private Network).
PIA is a VPN service that allows users to securely browse the internet by encrypting their internet traffic and providing anonymity online.
When you run the "piactl disconnect" command, it sends a signal to the PIA client or service running on your computer to terminate the VPN connection. This effectively stops routing your internet traffic through the PIA servers, so your connection is no longer protected by the VPN.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
