ExpressVPN a nightmare

Support AUR

As far as I know it goes something like this:

  • Log in to your ExpressVPN account (via your browser)

  • Install ExpressVPN (ex: yay -S expressvpn or pamac build expressvpn)

  • You can now run expressvpn -h to print ExpressVPN tool help

  • Then run systemctl start expressvpn to start the service
    (note - to launch automatically at login you can use systemctl enable expressvpn --now)

  • Now run expressvpn activate , and when prompted enter in your activation code from ExpressVPN (you can find find this in your account dashboard on the expressvpn site)

  • At this point, you can;
    expressvpn connect # to connect "to smart location or last connected location”
    expressvpn status # to check your ExpressVPN current status

  • Verify on the ExpressVPN checker or other sites like what-is-my-ip, dns-leak-test and webrtc-leak-test
