ExpressVPN review

ExpressVPN has long been the VPN that just works, and the apps remain among the easiest to use. Its Lightway protocol is fast and now includes post-quantum protection, and servers cover 113 countries. Plans now come in three tiers. Basic covers 10 devices and blocks ads, trackers and malicious sites. Advanced raises that to 12 devices and adds the ExpressKeys password manager. Express Pro covers 14 devices and includes a dedicated IP. Each tier also bundles credits for ExpressAI and a private email relay, which few people buy a VPN for. The weak spot is value. Renewal prices are high compared with Proton VPN or Surfshark, and the long-term deals run 28 months. Its order page showed euros only from our location, so we mark the USD price as pending. Choose ExpressVPN if ease of use is worth a premium to you.
