Instructions for Use:

2. Clone the repository:

   $ git clone https://github.com/mrizkihidayat66/expressvpn-linux-autorun.git
   

3. Move the script file and remove the unnecessary directory:

   $ mv expressvpn-linux-autorun/expressvpn.autorun.py expressvpn.autorun.py && rm -r -f expressvpn-linux-autorun
   

4. Make the script executable:

   $ chmod +x expressvpn.autorun.py
   

5. Edit the script file to make the necessary configuration changes:

   $ nano expressvpn.autorun.py
   

   • Change your superuser password, ExpressVPN license, and default location to connect.
