Telegram Desktop for Linux doesn't connect when ExpressVPN is in use.

[Raffles727]

Steps to reproduce

Run Telegram Connect to ExpressVPN After a minute or two, try to send a message or watch to see if new messages are received.. No new messages are received while the VPN is connected

Expected behaviour

Telegram should maintain the connection and messages should be sent and received as usual.

Actual behaviour

Telegram displays "Connecting" and a perpetual circle in the top of the main window and is apparently offline as no messages can be sent or received.

Operating system

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Version of Telegram Desktop

Linux version 3.0.1

Installation source

Static binary from official website

Hey there!

Hello, The issue has not resolved itself. In the meantime there have been several Telegram updates and Expressvpn updates.

The latest versions are

Telegram version 3.6

Expressvpn version 3.19.0.13-1

What is puzzling is that sometimes messages do get through while the VPN is on but not the attachments, videos or images.

Are there any other Linux Ubuntu desktop users who are experiencing the same issue?
