Getting ExpressVPN to work with latest BionicPup64. (Solved)
Trying to figure out a way to get ExpressVPN to work with BionicPup64. I assume the prefered way is to use Gpptp VPN, however I am completely clueless as to how to configure Gpptp VPN so that it will work.

Have you've signed up for a plan or is this a supposition?

The site says it has a download for a Linux installer.

Gpptp on Bionic64
On Bionic64 just uncomment line 51 ("require-mppe-128")in /etc/ppp/options.pptp
Then just start Gpptp, enter the server address, username, and password and click "Connect"
It should "just work". If it does, add the server name and user name to /etc/ppp/gpptp/vpn_servers and /etc/ppp/gpptp/vpn_userids, respectively. Then you can select them from the drop-down menus when needed.

I am already signed up for a plan. Whether I can use Gpptp is a supposition. Alternatively, ExpressVPN has .deb installers, I just don’t know if they would work with BionicPup64.Semme wrote:Have you've signed up for a plan or is this a supposition?

Ok, so this is for reference purposes, for others reading this post. OpenVPN is available for install in BionicPup64. I installed that, and it was possible to get it going after I went through the info on ExpressVPN's homepage about manual setup. Besides downloading a config file for the specific country or server that you want, you need to put in a 26 alpha-numeric key code for the username, and another 26 key code for the password. Connection works without complaint by running the command . It is easiest to cd to the directory with the config file downloaded from ExpressVPN and then run the command. It may be possible to download a .deb file from expressvpn with their own software, but I haven't tried that route, so I can't confirm that it will work.
Code: Select all
openvpn -config <file name>
