ExpressVPN has released a new app and website interface. If the images you see below do not reflect the latest app or website interface, note that the instructions still apply unless otherwise specified.

This guide will show you how to set up the ExpressVPN app on Qubes OS. To complete this tutorial, you will need:

  • Qubes OS correctly set up
  • An active ExpressVPN subscription
Note: ExpressVPN does not currently provide official support for this setup. As a result, you may encounter bugs while using ExpressVPN on Qubes OS.

To ensure all traffic goes through the ExpressVPN app, you will need to set up ExpressVPN in the sys-net domain. As sys-net is where all domains and virtual machines go through, setting up ExpressVPN here will provide you with the best security and privacy.
