Followed configs here on SNBForums and PIA site and was working fine for 6 months...

Suddenly stopped and responds with "Error - check configuration!"

Have a different open vpn provider..
Maybe try
Start with wan:yes

Auth digest: RSA-SHA1
Accept DNS configuration: strict
 
Did you check the contents of your certificates? This error seems to point to an issue with the certs:
