Hi all,
Anyone using ExpressVPN?
I've been using it a while and now I'm losing network connection when I disconnect from it.
They have been looking at the issue but also give me this "No Linux Mint" support excuse.
Has anyone else experienced this issue. It works OK but I have to re-boot after disconnecting to get Internet connectivity again.
Thanks,
OtG

Re: ExpressVPN losing network after disconnecting.
I've had the same problem since upgrading to Mint 20.2. ExpressVPN support tell me they have a problem with the latest version of Ubuntu and suggested typing in a terminal:
nmcli networking off
nmcli networking on
That is inconvenient but it works to restore the WiFi without a reboot. It is easy enough to put those commands in a shell script on the desktop to turn off the vpn:
