expressvpn preferences set network_lock off


FWIW, in my 2 years with ExpressVPN, I've never had it go down.

There is no open source software for VPN on Linux that provide a kill switch, and compatible with VPN known companies (?) I don't understand what you're asking for....a clickey-clickey desktop button to toggle your VPN service? It's my understanding that a VPN kill switch is, if the connection to t...

It works for me.

Works for me as well.

A lot of wrong info there....

In mint you don't need terminal, at least not on daily basis.

Agreed.

I don't remember all the points from my driving test, but I get along just fine with driving every day.

Storing passwords in plain text is a terrible idea.

Do you want to keep Windows?

Are you running a RAID setup or encrypted drives?

Level 2 - Applications: Linux simply does not have the software people want or need to do their job. No matter how many linux enthusiast tell you Gimp is just as good as PhotoShop, name the app of your choice here, that just is not going to fly with most Windows users who just want to get the job d...

Many Linux file systems also reserve space for journaling.

Did Dr. Noonian Soong choose Data's name? (Not to mention Lore...)

Nothing says "lay a patch of rubber to the nearest Walmart" like cajoling an older relative into installing Linux on their creaky and sluggish Core2Duo desktop...

That's good news.
