Unusable on Linux MINT 20.1 and didn't unblock 6play M6 FranceFirstly I tried to install it on the laptop I use for streaming, a four-year-old HP with 16Gb memory and 1Tb SSD running Linux Mint 20.1 but received error messages when trying to install the Linux MINT 20 App from their official website. It turns out they don't support this OS yet and had no idea when they would so their advice was to downgrade to Linux Mint 20,0.
I tried it on a Windows HP laptop but found that we were unable to access M6 6play in France. Being able to access this particular webpage, and the Molotov French TV site for streaming live TV from M6 in France was the main purpose of our getting a VPN (my wife is French). I verified that the sites were still accessible without going through the VPN, just with the content being blocked as we were in the UK.
Therefore this VPN doesn't fulfill our requirements.
Express VPN is TERRIBLE!After reading all of the rave reviews, I signed up for ExpressVPN. Express VPN constantly causes me to lose my internet connection on my Dell XPS Laptop, Windows 10 especially when booting the computer or waking the computer. I then have to disconnect Express via the task manager and reconnect to internet. It sometimes kills my connection in the middle of tasks. There is no telephone support. Email to support went unanswered. After troubleshooting with Chat and sending my log files which are fine, Chat Support simply said that this was a problem their engineers are aware of. Whaaaaat? So when, if ever, will there be a fix?? Worthless service, Terrible support! Deserves zero stars.
