Virtual private networks / Re: ExpressVPN and OpnSense

Nope. The performance is OK. In fact, It is better than I expected. I have 100/10 Internet connection and these are my results using Washintong server:

❯ speedtest
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Testing from ExpressVPN (45.41.180.55)...
Retrieving speedtest.net server list...
Selecting best server based on ping...
Hosted by Windstream (Ashburn, VA) [5.58 km]: 133.538 ms
Testing download speed................................................................................
Download: 85.96 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed...
Upload: 8.99 Mbit/s


I'm in South America so the ping is a bit  high but nothing to be worried about

Finally, the issue is sorted out.  Probably there was some cache thing going around but today all streaming sites are loading OK showing USA contents. Thanks.

Virtual private networks / ExpressVPN and OpnSense
February 22, 2021, 04:39:23 AM
Hi Guys.

This is my first post here in the community. I just deploy OPNsense 21.1.1 in a Laptop with one single NIC and a capable vlan switch (Tp Link TL-SG108E 5.0 ) and everything goes smooth

I configured successfully ExpressVPN to fully forward my Home Network (Including Chromecast and so) thru ExpressVPN servers. The connection is OK. I can reach the internet, surf the web, and ifconfig.co or whatsmyipadress.com show me that I am using the ExpressVPN IP and a DNS test leak is showing me Cloudfare DNS and not my ISP ones. BUT, when I open Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, or Disney none of these sites fully loads. They stuck loading the thumbnails. In some cases, I reach the movie but cannot reproduce it. If I use the ExpressVPN Native app everything works as expected.

I haven't contacted ExpressVPN support because I first want to be sure is not a misconfiguration done by myself (btw I followed this wiki: https://www.expressvpn.com/es/support/vpn-setup/pfsense-with-expressvpn-openvpn/)

You guys can tell me any clues on this? Is there someone outside using ExpressVPN + OpnSense with success?. I can share the config snapshots In case anyone is able to help.

Thanks in advance.
