I don't use chrome, but I just tried the browser helper in chromium-gtk2, and I don't even get an icon. I dunno if this is a bug or not, but you might want to report it to the expressvpn support team. It may be that the extension needs updating for the latest versions of chrom{e,ium}.

I noticed that the browser (Chrome) addon does not recognize that this service is running in the background.

Thanks WorMzy, you've done the upgrade very quickly well done. To answer your question ... yes, I can only agree with what you've said about non-alerts (this seems to be part and parcel of the Linux versions only for the Windows app does in fact provide an alert to any new version). For me, in a dual boot scenario, I see the upgrade alert first in Windows and then (as you seem to do) have to visit the EVPN website to get to the download link.
WorMzy commented on 2018-09-25 15:01 (UTC)
If it's a simple version bump, then I'll (hopefully) have it updated in a few hours.
Out of interest, how are you alerted to the newer version? The client used to alert me when I connected to a server, but it hasn't done that in a while. Expressvpn themselves don't seem to advertise the client version publicly on their website (you need to log in to get to the download link), and they don't post about the Linux client updates on their blog. If there's a easy way to get alerted to new versions that I'm missing, please let me know!

Latest version of the EVPN software is 1.4.5. When you are able WorMzy, can you update it?

If the daemon isn't starting, then find out why with systemctl status expressvpn
eperez commented on 2018-09-23 02:24 (UTC)
Any idea how to start the expressvpn daemon, tried: "systemctl enable expressvpn", "systemctl start expressvpn", "sudo service expressvpn restart". Does anybody know how to get the daemon started?
Thanks

I have just made some more test changing kernel (it was a kernel with limited module compilation using modprobe-db) and now is working! Thanks for this suggestion "you must have an existing /etc/resolv.conf file before you connect with expressvpn"

1: If there is no /var/lib/expressvpn/resolv.conf.orig, then expressvpn will do nothing to /etc/resolv.conf after disconnect. For /var/lib/expressvpn/resolv.conf.orig to be created, you must have an existing /etc/resolv.conf file before you connect with expressvpn.
2: The credentials file and resolv.conf symlink are created when expressvpn connects to a server, what happens if you try to connect (expressvpn connect smart)?

I have a strange problem. 1) computer 1: /etc/resolv.conf is a link to /var/lib/expressvpn/resolv.conf (in the same directory there is a credentials file) All is working, expressvpn change resolv.conf with expressvpn data, but /etc/resolv.conf is not changed back after disconnect. I had to make a script to restore google DNS 2) Computer 2 /etc/resolv.conf is not link to /var/lib/expressvpn/resolv.conf (in the same directory there is not a credentials file) Also if I change to a symbolic link as in 1) expressvpn will never connect (yes, it had been activated). Diagnostics don't give any error.
Some suggestions?

Info from expressvpn's site ...
wget https://www.expressvpn.com/expressvpn_release_public_key_0xAFF2A1415F6A3A38.asc
gpg --import expressvpn_release_public_key_0xAFF2A1415F6A3A38.asc
All installed fine; thank you very much for maintaining.

Looks like update notifications are working for the linux client now, but unfortunately the current version (2.3.2) thinks it's an older version (2.3.1 -- check
expressvpn --version), so the update alert people get when they runexpressvpn statusmay be a false positive.Please check what version is reported at https://www.expressvpn.com/latest (or https://www.expressvpn.com/support/troubleshooting/china-status/#linux as this sometimes gets updates listed sooner) before flagging the package as out-of-date.

Please note that, from v2.0.0, ExpressVPN will be providing signed Arch packages on their website (alongside the deb and rpm packages). I'll be continuing to update this package, but for those that find using the AUR cumbersome or just don't want to wait, please be aware of this option.
EDIT: packages were delayed for testing, but seem to be live as of 2019-01-23.
