ExpressVPN breaks after system update (duh)

VPN
1

Hello guys,

I am needing a bit of advice. I have been able to successfully install ExpressVPN and use it. Though turning it on through terminal is not my favorite.

Then as we all know, system update breaks it, but here is where i get lost. I am not sure how to get around this besides just simply re-installing it, and going through the entire process each time an update happens.

I have dabbled a little bit with trying to get ExpressVPN into the network center, but i am not sure which file i need to download to use in network center.

Would this method prevent it from breaking each update? I am also prepared to just abandon ExpressVPN and pay for something else just for ease of use. I don’t know anything about wireguard, but can learn the setup if that becomes a foolproof method.

Any advice or guides you recommend? Or if i should change VPNs?

Download the open vpn config from them (most decent VPNs have these). Then follow the instructions below:

Also if pacman does not work as reported by some users follow this:
