I've had a quick look at the expressvpn instructions for Linux. You havent saud which method you are trying to use, and I see there is a method for NetworkManager which should carry straight across to the NetworkManager in Fedora (the default template for sys-net). If you're not able to complete those instructions please explain at what step you are getting lost. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
