Depending on the setup, something like this might work:

It's for NordVPN but could apply to PIA too.

Maybe you could flash your router to DD-WRT firmware, it supports OpenVPN which is more popular, secure and not outdated protocol. What devices do you want to use? Because having all of them on one VPN connection could impact speed and throttle bandwidth. For example, NordVPN supports up to 6 devices, PIA -- 5 so you could use all 5-6 different servers.

Seems that it does not give me the option for VPN at all.

WRT seems to be giving me a few issues right now but seems to be the best option, i mainly would like to use it on the play station4 since i use that for most of my streaming services, and being in africa almost everything is geo locked.

Do you want the VPN on the client device/s directly or implemented on the router so that it automatically tunnels all data through the VPN which it receives from its connected client/s?

Hope this information post was helpful  ?,
