NETWORK LOCK:

   If your VPN connection unexpectedly drops, internet traffic will be blocked by Network Lock to protect your privacy.

ADVANCED PROTECTION:

   Blocks apps and websites from sharing your activity with third-party trackers or communicating with other malicious sites. This feature is only active when the VPN is connected and the protocol is set to Automatic or Lightway.

EXAMPLES:
   To activate ExpressVPN account:
      expressvpn activate

   To connect to smart location or last connected location:
      expressvpn connect

   To connect to a country:
      expressvpn connect "Germany"

   To connect to a specific location:
      expressvpn connect "Germany - Frankfurt - 1"

   To check current connection status:
      expressvpn status

   To disable Network Lock:
      expressvpn preferences set network_lock off

   To enable advanced protection features:
    -  'expressvpn preferences set block_all true' to block ads, trackers, malicious and adult sites
    -  'expressvpn preferences set block_ads true' to block ads
    -  'expressvpn preferences set block_trackers true' to block trackers
    -  'expressvpn preferences set block_malicious true' to block malicious sites
    -  'expressvpn preferences set block_adult true' to block adult sites
