ExpressVPN Adds A GUI To Their Linux App

([Linux Networking] 114 Minutes Ago ExpressVPN Linux App)


There are a number of NetworkManager VPN plug-ins for different virtual private networking providers as a great way for setting up VPN access from the Linux desktop. But for those interested in using ExpressVPN with their official Linux client, they now offer a GUI to ease the setup process for using their commercial VPN service and proprietary software package.

ExpressVPN previously provided a CLI-only Linux build but today they announced a new Linux app in beta with "an all-new graphical user interface and advanced features." From the GUI features like split tunneling, a configurable kill switch, and other functionality can be managed.

It's nice of them enhancing their VPN software for Linux with a GUI now, but it's a proprietary package and only available for Linux x86_64 installations. Most Linux users are best off using a solution that's compatible with the NetworkManager VPN plug-ins for a nice and integrated -- and open-source -- experience with modern Linux desktops. Plus VPN services supporting WireGuard as opposed to OpenVPN and the proprietary Lightway VPN protocol of ExpressVPN. They have vetted their ExpressVPN Linux GUI app beta on Ubuntu, Debian (including Raspberry Pi OS), Fedora, Linux Mint, and Arch Linux.

Those wanting to learn more about the new ExpressVPN Linux app can do so via the [1]ExpressVPN.com blog .

Microsoft Employees Go On Strike, Demand Reduced Salaries

REDMOND, WA -- Several hundred programmers walked off their jobs at
Microsoft Headquarters on Friday to protest their shoddy public image. "My
friends all think I'm a servant of Satan because I get my paycheck from
Microsoft," explained Microserf Eric Eshleman. "If I didn't make so much
money, I'd have more of a backbone to shout 'No!' when my supervisor
demands that I include some new virus-delivery feature in Outlook."

The striking programmers demand salary cuts, less benefits, and zero stock
options. Their labor union, the Brotherhood Of Programmers Sick Of Being
Called Evil, hopes to get some face time with Microsoft executives and
touch base on reaching a proactive agreement leveraging the latest
innovatives in PR to produce a synergistic worldwide buzzword-enhanced
advertising campaign that showcases Microsoft associates as enlightened
engineers instead of morally bankrupt bastards bent on world domination.

Earlier today, about 150 strikers formed a picket line near the front
entrance to Bill Gates' mansion. They carried signs saying "Hell no we're
not going to Hell", "I want to be able to sleep at night", "Why does the
public hate us so much?" and "I'm fed up with ethical dilemmas".
