Hi!
I miss an auto update function for linux. Can you offer a PPA for Debian based distributions please?
Wow, 2020 and still no GUI app for Linux? It’s a bit cumbersome to use the CLI, to say the least.
Been using ExpressVPN for a couple of years now on Windows and now also on Linux Mint. Very happy with performance. Any chance of connection per app feature in the Linux app?
I’ve been using ExpressVPN for Linux (Debian) tor about 4 months and am pleased. I still don’t understand why ExpressVPN offers a GUI for MAC and Windows but not for Linux. But I decided to take the bull by the horns and wrote my own GUI. Not perfect but it does virtually everything I could do from the terminal and does it with just a couple of clicks. I don’t like using the network lock feature as it locks out all network activity, including communications with my UPS (which in turn causes the computer to shut down), so I incorporated a feature that periodically polls the IP address to verify the connection to the VPN is still active. Still has a couple of issues that I am trying to resolve (such as locking up if the connection to the internet is lost) but overall works great. The GUI is written in Tcl/Tk and requires only the Tcl, Tk and wget packages. If I get it perfected I may try to publish the program. FREE.
Wow impressive! You can also try out our Chrome extension, which acts as a GUI on Linux too.
I’ve been using Expressvpn for Windows, but after realizing running a Linux OS might be more secure I decided to switch to Ubuntu. I am very pleased about the fact Expressvpn offer’s a Linux option, definitely the best VPN firm I’ve used thus far.
When will Windows client get split tunnel like Mac app ? the only thing keeping me from registering with ExpressVPN ( i registered then canceled)
Hi Tomer, split-tunneling for Windows is coming soon! Watch this space.
The linux app is excellent, easy to set up, easy to use. I have two suggestions:
1. It would be very useful if there were a way to get the same sort of speed test data that is available to those using the windows, android & mac versions – perhaps even for a user-defined set of servers.
2. In the case where connecting to a server is proving difficult, the app takes a very long time before it gives up gracefully (fair enough). During that time, if the user presses CTRL-C to interrupt, expressvpn stops abruptly leaving openvpn going in the background and does not appear to clean up the routes (not sure about this). It would be good if either the app responded more gracefully to CTRL-C or if there was a simple clean up option on the app which allowed the user to tell expressvpn to kill any orphaned openvpn jobs and tidy up the routes. Or possibly the app could check for issues each time it ran and sorted them out before starting a new session.
Thanks for all your work and for your excellent customer support. It is appreciated.
Thanks for your helpful comments, Michael. We’re pleased you like the service! I passed your comments on to the ops team.
