About ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN provides a fast VPN service in 160 cities across 94 countries with easy-to-install clients for Windows, Mac OS X and Android. A wide variety of streaming media boxes and game consoles are also supported via manual configuration.

The default encryption is 256-bit using OpenVPN which should provide excellent security. It’s an outstanding choice for most VPN applications including BitTorrent and P2P.

Cross-Platform Software

Clients are available for Windows XP and later, Mac OS X 10.6 and later, iOS 7 and later, and Android 4.2 and later. ExpressVPN can support Linux, Kindle, Xbox, PlayStation and Apple TV through manual configuration.

Support Variety of VPN Protocols

Privacy Protector

There are surprisingly few details on the VPN website about the privacy they provide. What they do say is “… we take your online privacy and security seriously. We are guided by the principle that privacy is a fundamental right. We don’t log your online activity and never share your details with anyone.”

Top Security

By default, all VPN connections are 256-bit encrypted. However, the default protocol is OpenVPN over UDP except for iOS and Android which use L2TP/IPsec.

Select PPTP as the protocol and use 128-bit encryption. 256-bit UDP OpenVPN offers just about the best security of all VPN protocols.

Own DNS Servers

It uses its own DNS servers. Use it automatically when a client is starting except in the case of iOS where a DNS server must be manually configured.

Easy Install

Installation of VPN full version on Windows all OS and Mac OS X was straightforward. Essentially identical except Windows required the additional step of installing a TAP driver.

Once installed all that is required is to enter the activation code and then select the server you want to use. The VPN clients for Windows and Mac appear to be nearly identical.

Quick Server Selection

Select servers based on geographical region, city location or a recommended list. The recommended list is preconfigured based on your geographical location and would be a rough guide only.

To refine the best choice of server in a given country you can run tests from within ExpressVPN for PC on all available servers to determine latency (ping time) and download speed. This takes about 5-10 minutes depending on your internet speed but the results provide a useful guide.

Pricing Plans

It offers three plans, $12.95 billed monthly, six months for $59.94 or 12 months for $99.84.
