Lima with VPN

Is there a way or can anyone point me in the right direction of using Lima with a VPN (Express VPN)? With the VPN turned on, I get the following error

INFO[0060] [hostagent] 2024/05/01 19:39:16 tcpproxy: for incoming conn 127.0.0.1:54814, error dialing "192.168.5.15:22": connect tcp 192.168.5.15:22: connection was refused

Weird. I use Lima with PrivateVPN using the WireGuard client.

Are you using the official WireGuard client or are you using the Express VPN client?

I’m using the Express VPN client.

Nice. Does it work if you try the WireGuard client?

Looks like Express VPN is incompatible with Wireguard.

Well that’s… something.

Weird. I really thought every VPN service supported it these days.
