Expressvpn - unknown public key

Hi,

I tried to install “expressvpn” in AUR, but it fails to build with below log output?:

Any ideas?
Thanks!

You need to import the gpg key if you trust that software :wink:

See first comment in AUR page for that package:

Hi,

That allowed me to build it and it’s in the Start menu, but it does not run:
“Please make sure the expressvpn daemon is running” ?
Don’t know how to proceed…

I think you can find the answer by searching it in google very easily: Please make sure the expressvpn daemon is running - Google Suche
This will give you many answers, but funny you can get to this answer on this same forum Having problems with ExpressVPN or this one ExpressVPN daemon doesn't automatically start after boot
You may or may not recognize one of the threads, because it is yours…

Either memory corruption or bit rot :joy:

Sorry @JeZxLee, couldn’t resist.

Sorry, I have very poor memory…
…everything is working now - so thank you for the help!
