Find your ExpressVPN account credentials
In order to use ExpressVPN on Synology, you will need to set up a new VPN profile. To set up a VPN profile, you will need a server address, your account credentials, and the IPSec pre-shared key. This section of the tutorial will show you how to find all of this information.
Open the Welcome Email you received when you signed up for ExpressVPN. Click the link in the email.

If you can’t find the link, log in to your account here.

Once you’ve clicked the link in the welcome email or logged into the website, click on Set Up ExpressVPN on the Active Subscriptions page.

Click on Manual Config on the left side of the screen and then select PPTP & L2TP-IPSec on the right. This will show you your username, password, and a list of server addresses around the world.
Please note this information as you will need it to set up your VPN profile.

Turn off IPv6
Before you enable VPN on your Synology, ExpressVPN highly recommends that you turn off IPv6 to prevent IPv6 traffic from leaking outside of the VPN tunnel.
To turn off IPv6, go to Control Panel > Network > Network Interface.

Click the Network Interface tab, then click the LAN menu to expand it. Click Edit.

In the Edit menu, click the IPv6 tab. For IPv6 setup, select Off. Click OK.

After disabling IPv6, reboot your Synology.
