Re: [Trisquel-users] Formatted PC - Concern pilots and NordVPN!

Does NordVPN use OpenVPN? I used to be able to use ExpressVPN on my AA1  
laptop, on both Trisquel 8 and Trisquel 7. About a month ago, this stopped  
working on Flidas. I spent many hours on chat with their helpdesk people  
trying to get it working again, including connecting directly with OpenVPN,  
but to no avail. Curiously, it still worked on Belenos for about a week,  
until I installed some updates, and then it stopped working there too.

ExpressVPN officially support Ubuntu 16.04 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and claim  
they've had no report of similar connection problems from Ubuntu users. They  
also support Debian, and similarly claim none of their customers using Debian  
have had these problems. If this is true, it suggests that a) the problem  
lies in some subsystem that is different in Trisquel from either vanilla  
Ubuntu or Debian, and b) it was introduced in an update to that subsystem  
that was backported to Belenos after already having been pushed to the Flidas  
update repos at least a week or so before.
