ExpressVPN is a VPN service. All plans include the VPN with ad and malicious-site blocking, and higher tiers add the ExpressKeys password manager, Identity Defender alerts and, on Pro, a dedicated IP and ExpressAI.
Lightway is ExpressVPN’s own protocol, built to connect quickly, switch smoothly between Wi-Fi and mobile networks and use fewer system resources. TrustedServer technology runs on volatile memory (RAM), so all server data is removed on every reboot. An Internet Kill Switch protects your data if your connection drops unexpectedly, and split tunneling lets you route only some apps through the VPN. ExpressVPN says it never stores your browsing activity or connection logs, and outside firms such as PwC and KPMG audit it regularly.
ExpressVPN pitches its apps at families, travelers and multitaskers who want protection across laptops, phones and tablets. It names school, work, hotel and public Wi-Fi networks as places where the VPN adds privacy. It also points to streaming video, moving large files and running several devices at once, where it promises fast playback and minimal lag.
Apps cover Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Linux, plus routers, smart TVs, Fire Stick, Android TV and Apple TV. Browser extensions are available for Chrome, Firefox and Edge. The support team can be reached by live chat or email at any hour. The Trust Center offers FAQs plus step-by-step setup guides for desktops, browsers and smart TVs.
