      @johnpoz Good Deal man, you can close it. I resolved the issue.

      • 1st - one ID10T mistake kept using sha256 instead of sha512

      • 2nd - on the NCD section that the documentation suggests to ignore, well cant ignore at least in my case.
        I had to select the correct encryption algorithm AES-256-CBC.

      It would be great to validate but as I working it goes without saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

      Thanks

      Now you may close it if you like, it does not seem to be a large enough problem... Thanks

          its called holiday weekend. If you still need the fix, let me know. I doubt you did figure it out though. I am holding that information as ransom for a 4 month free of express VPN service so I will not be posting it on here. The admins/devs are douchebags anyways.

            @vincepro - i’m very happy for you. I can tell you that you will not get any compensation from me. Also I would like offer to anyone needing help with expression to feel free to contact me.. Feel free to pm me. I would imagine this a community to help each other with pfsense issues. So let's help each other

              @maguilu I am referring to ExpressVPN (for compensation) as I have contacted them. It's not a pfsense issue, its an outdated tutorial from all VPN services regarding how to use pfsense. You post pictures here and there and these admins/devs do nothing but belittle your posts. You should do a google and look at all the previous posts from other people about the same issues. You will then see mods/devs here are just typical coding douchebags that give you bits and pieces when they know the actual answer.

              You would think this forum would be about helping each other, but no it's more like "I know more than you and you are a dumbass"

              If you want the answer to get ExpressVPN working with 2.4.4 (and probably higher) pm me and I will help you. I can guarantee that maguilu did not get this working on 2.4.4 - the solution provided by maguilu does nothing in resolving connection issue to ExpressVPN.

              I have made a deal with ExpressVPN and they are currently testing my solution (compensating months free) and will modify their outdated pfsense tutorial, so I cannot post the answer to the public on here.

              as for @johnpoz, it's a zip file with images. If you were a legit mod, you would understand that downloading it from your own forum does nothing as long as you do not run the file. From that step is when you can determine if it's a virus or not, but thank you for your laziness. I am sure you have a sandbox VM that you could have opened it from there and seen the contents of the zip file, but that is too many extra steps for your paranoid self.

                  @vincepro this just sounds like a wank to me. Making out as if it is top secret. I had to remove a few custom settings from the original config and have express vpn working, but have sporadic routing / dns issues when it is not the default route. Ironically, you accuse people on this forum of i know more than you ego trip, but that is actually what you are pulling. Either post the details of the changes required, or the so called forum where you found the answer.

                    Dude he hasn't been back... If anything this whole thread some odd ball way to try and advertise expresssvpn maybe?

                    I don't think any one really cares to be honest - I sure don't... You got it right with your wanker comment ;)

                      @vincepro, hello have you fix your problems yet setup ExpressVPN on pfsense? I’m new on pfsense myself, but I finally got my ExpressVPN to work on pfsense. Took me a couple days, but it’s up and running. I did try to write a how-to but netgate would not let me post stating its spam:(

                          They don't "say" it's spam, but the spamfilter of the forums detect it that way, most possibly because it has links/URLs in it, that cause it. Try using code blocks etc. for better visibility anyway. Otherwise after getting a few 👍 the restrictions are lowered so less likely to tagged spam. Or send your "howto" to one of the mods to post, there are always ways to do things :)

                          Don't forget to upvote 👍 those who kindly offered their time and brainpower to help you!

                          If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.
