ExpressVPN is a VPN service designed to encrypt internet traffic and mask users' IP addresses for greater privacy and security online. It relies on AES-256 encryption, a kill switch, and DNS leak protection to help prevent data exposure, alongside TrustedServer technology, which runs servers entirely on RAM so no data is ever written to a hard drive.
The service is built around its own Lightway protocol, which is designed to balance speed and security more efficiently than many older VPN protocols, and reviewers have consistently rated it among the fastest VPNs available. ExpressVPN has also expanded its feature set over time to include a password manager, a Threat Manager for blocking trackers, and an ad blocker, moving beyond pure VPN functionality into broader digital security territory.
Pricing is tiered into three main plans: Basic, Advanced, and Pro, with the Basic plan covering 10 simultaneous device connections and core VPN features, the Advanced plan adding the ExpressVPN Keys password manager and expanded protection tools with 12 connections, and the Pro plan adding a dedicated IP address and limited eSIM data. All plans include access to ExpressVPN's full range of apps, 24/7 customer support, and unlimited bandwidth, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
