Configuring ApexDC++ with ExpressVPN

[conpriv 0]

Does anyone have any experience getting ApexDC++ to work with ExpressVPN?

I'd been using ApexDC++ with another more basic OpenVPN based VPN with no problem. I upgraded to ExpressVPN and I *thought* ApexDC++ kept working, or worked after I tweaked the connection settings, but now it refuses to behave.

The best I can get is I can upload perfectly but can't download files or get file lists.

When I disconnect ExpressVPN entirely, or switch to the simpler (and less secure) one, ApexDC++ works perfectly.

I realize I may have to just use the simpler solution but I'm hoping someone here knows the apparently magical combination of settings to make everything work.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any information.

Well I don't know ExpressVPN, but I use OpenVPN with a private VPN. OpenVPN tends to amend your routing table when it connects so that certain (or all) traffic flows through it. You can check your routing table using command "route print" in windows command line. Also, have you tried to set Apex into passive mode?
