general/other How to start expressvpnd daemon (linux emulation)?

[User Marles]

Hello all,

I just installed expressvpn-3.2.1.2-1.x86_64.rpm according to the Handbook (with linux_base-c7-7.8.2003_1 on Freebsd 12.2).
But I don't know how to start the expressvpnd daemon. Of course, I get:

/compat/linux/usr/bin/expressvpn list                
Cannot connect to expressvpnd daemon.

It seems that the expressvpn daemon is not running. Please run "sudo service expressvpn restart" to start it.

What is the proper way to start a daemon under Linux emulation on FreeBSD?

Thank you in advance,

Anyway I tried /compat/linux/usr/sbin/expressvpnd restart, and what I got is:

libgnutls.so.30: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I installed pkg install linux-c7-gnutls-3.3.29, but still get the same error message about libgnutls.so.30.
On this system I can find:

/compat/linux/usr/lib/.libgnutls.so.28.43.3.hmac
/compat/linux/usr/lib/.libgnutls.so.28.hmac
/compat/linux/usr/lib/libgnutls.so.28
/compat/linux/usr/lib/libgnutls.so.28.43.3
/compat/linux/usr/lib64/.libgnutls.so.28.43.3.hmac
/compat/linux/usr/lib64/.libgnutls.so.28.hmac
/compat/linux/usr/lib64/libgnutls.so.28
/compat/linux/usr/lib64/libgnutls.so.28.43.3
/usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so
/usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.30
/usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.30.28.1

...
I'm a bit clueless here. Maybe I should try an older version of expressvpn...
