This guide will show you how to manually configure your Linux computer with other DNS server addresses to activate the ExpressVPN app.

Important: Setting a third-party DNS may cause DNS leaks.

To manually configure specific DNS server addresses on Linux:

  1. Run the following command:
    sudo apt-get install resolvconf
  2. Open the following file in a text editor of your choice, such as Vim:
    /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
  3. Enter the following lines, replaced with the DNS server addresses you want to use. The example below uses OpenDNS’s secure DNS servers:
    nameserver 208.67.222.222
    nameserver 208.67.220.220
  4. Remove any nameserver lines that you configured in the past.
  5. Save the file.
  6. Backup the current configuration file by running:
    sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.backup
  7. Link to the new resolvconf configuration file by running:
    sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
    sudo resolvconf -u
  8. Restart network services by running:
    sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

You have changed the DNS server used on your Linux computer. If you had trouble activating the ExpressVPN app for Linux before, try activating the ExpressVPN app again.
