This package will be used for testing ExpressVPN updates. I don't recommend using it unless you want to be bleeding edge. Expect things to break though. For stability, just use the expressvpn package.

Heads up that I'm dropping the expressvpn{,-beta} packages as I no longer use expressvpn.

Worked great! I did have to manually start and enable the service myself:

sudo systemctl enable --now expressvpn-service

Please note that, as of version 4.0, ExpressVPN have switched to a new "universal installer" which replaces their previous distro-specific packages (.deb/.rpm/.pkg) and bypasses package managers entirely (mostly dumping stuff to /opt). I have rewritten the PKGBUILD to repackage what this new installer does so it can still be tracked by pacman, but there's no telling how well this will work going forward (particularly since this new version supposedly has a self-updater built in.)

Note: you may need to flush your iptables rules after upgrading in order to restore internet access, use iptables -F to do so.
