If you can’t connect to the internet while the VPN is on, it is possible that you are using a proxy server. This guide will show you how to disable proxy settings in Safari.

A proxy server is an intermediary between your computer and the internet. It is often used to hide your real location and helps you access websites that would otherwise be blocked. However, proxies do not offer the same privacy protections as a VPN. If you are using ExpressVPN, there is no need to run a proxy on top of the VPN connection.

If you are using Chrome, please follow this guide.

Important: The steps below will not help you access online streaming services that are blocked in your region.
