Interesting. I'm an ExpressVPN subscriber (maybe I won't be much longer) and haven't had any problem using it on public Wi-Fi networks.

Same here with multiple different VPN providers. Once I get through the TOS screens I can activate the VPN and have no issues. At one hotel chain (rhymes with a moldy British cheese), I have to activate my VPN first since my DNS provider won't resolve their login page.
