Installing ExpressVpn

Trying to install expressvpn. I've tried using distrobox and a podman container. Neither have worked so far. It also isn't on the software center

For distrobox I've tried both a fedora and a ubuntu container. The install seems to quit out early in both cases

I've tried using their installer but that quits out early, and too fast for me to read the message for as to why it's failing

For expressvpn I've been trying this docker-compose but it gets into a crash loop after activating:
services:
  expressvpn:
    container_name: expressvpn
    image: misioslav/expressvpn:latest
    environment:
      - CODE={activation_code}
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices: 
      - /dev/net/tun
    command: /bin/bash
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    privileged: true
    restart: always
    network_mode: "host"
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    dns:
      - 1.1.1.1
      - 8.8.8.8
Solution
found out that expressvpn uses openvpn which is built into bazzite/gnome. Used that instead
