1. Find your ExpressVPN account credentials
Go to the ExpressVPN setup page. If prompted, enter your ExpressVPN credentials and click Sign In.

2. Turn off IPv6 on your Synology
Turning off IPv6 helps prevent IPv6 traffic from leaking outside of the VPN tunnel.
To turn off IPv6, go to Control Panel > Network.
Click Network Interface > LAN. Click Edit.
In the Edit menu, click IPv6. For IPv6 setup, select Off.
Click OK. Next, reboot your Synology.
