Thank you for your detailed reply. It is gone midnight here, so I will make another attempt at the split-tunnelling tomorrow. I knew how to burrow down to "Add another app", but *what* to add was the problem. I will let you know whether this is successful.

Under ESET Security, I have no file with an .exe extension. They are all .dll . I do have an "application" for "ekrn" and for "egui", but there is no .exe file with them. Should I add these application files to ExpressVPN (if I can)? Just received yet another message from "ESET proxy GUI" stating that "ESET LiveGrid servers cannot be reached", then a link for "Allow access to ESET LiveGrid servers on firewall". When I click on that link, I am taken to this Web page: https://support.eset.com/en/kb332-ports-and-addresses-required-to-use-your-eset-product-with-a-third-party-firewall#esetlivegrid . None of the content on this Web page makes any sense to me. It is at this point that I have to turn off ExpressVPN (which is exactly what I do not want to do) to allow ESET access.

I have ESET and ExpressVPN on my laptop. Every day, ESET sends me a warning that "The ESET LiveGrid servers cannot be reached. (etc., etc.) Allow access to ESET LiveGrid servers on Firewall." I do not think that I have a firewall. However, I do know that ExpressVPN is blocking ESET from accessing my computer. Tried "split-tunnelling" through E-VPN, but ESET was not listed in the drop-down menu, and I could not find an .exe file to be able to add the software to the split-tunnelling menu. Does anyone know how I can add ESET to E-VPN's split tunnelling, or some other method where I do NOT have to turn off E-VPN every day in order for ESET to update(?) the LiveGrid servers(?).
