ExpressVPN breaks Icedrive Webapp

Bug Reporting Webapp
#1

I’ve been running into frequent API errors for months in the Webapp. Uploads kept failing or would be done improperly, and when I tried logging out, I couldn’t log back in. I’ve tried using different web browsers (Edge and Firefox) to no avail.

I was about to give up when I discovered that turning off my VPN fixed the uploading issue. I’ve been using ExpressVPN with Lightway Turbo (dual tunnel) and no Advanced Protection. Neither turning off Turbo nor switching to single tunnel fixed the issue, nor did switching countries, or using a different VPN altogether (Surfshark).

I’ve run into similar problems on Windows 11 with the desktop app. My profile icon wouldn’t even display properly on the app until I turned off the VPN.

Icedrive flat out won’t function properly while a VPN is active.

Hi,
I’m running the same configuration ie Windows 1, Icedrive, ExpressVPN, 3 out of 4 options in Advanced protection selected.

I have no issue running Icedrive but

  • Switching several times in the day the VPN makes the UI of icedrive to be forzen, fully black.
  • Also i have to start with VPN off, otherwise AIcedrive will not mount

Background synch works.

Once a month, i do a synch with FreeFileSync to detect few missing synchronisation.

Hope this helps

Regards
