I live in Russia (I'm American) and I'm trying to use a USB ethernet adapter to share internet from my ExpressVPN TAP adapter to the USB to ethernet adapter, which I then run a cord from to my smart TV. My ultimate goal in all this is to be able to use my TV on the VPN, allowing me to watch region-locked content like I was in America.
The issue I'm having is that I can occasionally make it work, but when I shut down the computer or put it to sleep, it seems the whole system just stops working...the network sharing settings are the same as they were when it was working, the VPN is still on, but my TV sees no internet connection.
What would be the easiest solution to this issue? Unfortunately my motherboard only has one ethernet port...I reckon it would be a lot easier if it had two.
EDIT: I am on WIndows 10 1909
