If you see the following error message in your connection log:

Tue Sep 1 22:17:22 2015 MANAGEMENT: Socket bind failed on local address 127.0.0.1:1337: Address already in use

It is likely that the port needed for the connection attempt to the server location is not responding or is being used by another process. To solve the issue:

Restart your machine. After that, launch ExpressVPN again and connect to a server location.
