On one hand, I'm excited OCLP has given some new life to my 2013 MacBook Pro. I've updated it to OS 15.5 and I'm able to use Xcode now, which was the main reason for installing OCLP.
Though a major draw back, which I wish was made more clear, are the issues with Express VPN and apparently other VPNs.
I spent roughly 2 hours with ExpressVPN techs on two different remote help sessions and they weren't able to resolve the issue of the sign in not working on their application, and ultimately causing it to crash.
Judging by the age of other posts in this subreddit, ExpressVPN and OCLP devs apparently still haven't come up with a fix for this in over 2 years.
ExpressVPN techs suggested doing a manual VPN setup with Tunnelblick or Open VPN. I tried Tunnelblick and it had intermittent connection issues, most likely allowing DNS leaks while it re-connected to the VPN. This absolutely will not work for me, as my MacBook is my only computer and sometimes I use it to torrent files overnight.
So I'm curious if anyone can suggest a VPN that:
Actually works with a 2013 MacBook Pro running OS 15.5 via OCLP
Has a feature like ExpressVPN where if the connection to the VPN drops, it cuts off the internet on your device until it restores connection to the VPN.
Offers unlimited bandwidth.
I'm open to terminating my account with ExpressVPN and paying for another VPN service.
And if somehow you've found a fix for this , please let me know! I've used ExpressVPN for about 10+ years now and have had zero issues with them until now. So it's a bummer, but we all need something that actually works.
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
