Question 1

Is ExpressVPN free?

Accepted Answer

No, ExpressVPN doesn’t have a free plan. However, it has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test the product risk-free for a month (and I got my refund back into my account 4 days after requesting it).

There are free VPNs out there, but I don’t recommend using most of them — the majority of free VPNs lack basic security features, have slow speeds, place a limit on your data, spam you with ads, and/or monitor your traffic. On the other hand, using a premium VPN gives you excellent security, top-notch privacy, and ultra-fast connection speeds for all of your online activity (ExpressVPN can do all of this and more).

Question 2

Does ExpressVPN work in China?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ExpressVPN works in China and other countries with heavy internet censorship. If you live or are traveling to a country that censors the internet, ExpressVPN is a good pick. Plus, it’s secure, fast, intuitive, and it supports all major operating systems.

Question 3

Does ExpressVPN work with Netflix?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ExpressVPN works with Netflix. Even better, the provider is compatible with 10+ Netflix libraries. I really like how ExpressVPN supports streaming on all of its servers — unlike some competitors that only have dedicated streaming servers.

ExpressVPN also supports other popular streaming apps, including BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Fubo.

Question 4

Is ExpressVPN safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ExpressVPN is one of the safest VPNs on the market. It uses 256-bit AES encryption, has a kill switch, and maintains a strict no-logs policy that has also been independently audited and confirmed. ExpressVPN’s servers only run on RAM, meaning all data is wiped each time the server is rebooted, and ExpressVPN also offers complete leak protection for WebRTC, DNS, and IPv6 (I ran several leak tests and had 0 leaks). In addition, you also get access to Threat Manager, which protects you from malicious trackers and fake sites, and ExpressVPN Keys, which is a decent password manager that protects your logins.

Question 5

Does ExpressVPN slow down internet speeds?

Accepted Answer

All VPNs slow down your internet speeds because the encryption-decryption process increases the time it takes for your data to travel over the web. The distance between you and the VPN server you’re connecting to can also decrease your overall connection speeds.

But ExpressVPN significantly minimizes the speed loss with its extremely fast proprietary Lightway protocol and its large server network in 105 countries (so it’s easy to avoid overcrowded servers and connect to nearby servers to get fast speeds). In my speed tests, I always had very fast speeds for all online activities, including gaming, torrenting, streaming, and browsing. I even had fast speeds on 5+ devices when I used ExpressVPN’s router app. This is not surprising, considering that ExpressVPN is the fastest VPN on the market.

Question 6

Is ExpressVPN worth the money?

Accepted Answer

Yes — while ExpressVPN’s plans are a little pricey because they start at 4,99 $ / kuukausi, they’re worth it because ExpressVPN is hands-down the best VPN on the market. ExpressVPN has top-tier streaming support since it works with 100+ streaming apps including top sites like Netflix and Hulu, the fastest speeds on the market, high-end security features (including advanced security features like RAM-only servers, full leak protection, and perfect forward secrecy), and very user-friendly apps for all major platforms, including a router app that’s very easy to set up and use.

Question 7

Which devices does ExpressVPN support?

Accepted Answer

You can pretty much use ExpressVPN on any web-connected device. It provides dedicated apps for:

Android smartphones and tablets running Android 5.0 and above.
iPhones, iPads, and iPods running iOS 12 and above.
PCs (personal computers) running Windows 7 and above.
PCs running macOS X 10.11 and above.
PCs running Linux distros (Ubuntu, Debian 9 and 10, Fedora 34, Mint 20.1 and LMDE4, and the latest Arch release). You can also use ExpressVPN’s apps on distros that are not officially supported by the provider, but are based on the distros I listed. However, ExpressVPN won’t provide fixes for issues on unsupported distros.
Android TV devices running Android 5.0 and above.
Apple TV devices running tvOS 17.
Amazon Fire devices (Fire TV and 2nd generation Fire Stick and above).
Amazon Fire tablets running Fire OS 5 and above.
Chromebook devices that support Android apps.
Raspberry Pi devices running Raspbian 9 and 10.
Routers from Netgear, Linksys, and Asus.
Chrome and Firefox browsers.

And ExpressVPN’s router app lets you use the VPN on devices that don’t support VPN apps, like older Apple TV models, Roku, and PlayStation consoles. ExpressVPN also has its own router (called Aircove), which has all of the functionality of a VPN, is reasonably priced, and has also been independently audited and proven to be secure.

You can also configure ExpressVPN’s MediaStreamer (its smart DNS service) on:

Smart TVs and streaming devices like Apple TV (1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen and any other Apple TV that doesn’t come with an app store), LG Smart TV, Samsung Smart TV, and Amazon Fire TV.
PCs running macOS and Windows.
Gaming consoles like Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 3, 4, and 5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
Routers from brands like Netgear and Linksys or routers running DD-WRT firmware.

Question 8

Is ExpressVPN legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, using ExpressVPN is perfectly legal in most countries. That said, there are restrictive countries like China, Iran, and Indonesia that block, discourage, or punish VPN usage. If you plan on traveling to one of those places, I strongly recommend checking the local laws to make sure you won’t face prosecution or huge fines if you’re caught using ExpressVPN.

Question 9

Is ExpressVPN Keys as good as a standalone password manager?

Accepted Answer

No. While it’s a very secure password manager that’s good for basic functions, it lacks many of the features that top password managers offer.

ExpressVPN Keys has tons of essential features — it secures your passwords with bank-grade encryption, uses zero-knowledge architecture (only you have access to your logins), and auto-fills your passwords. It has two-factor authentication, which adds a second verification method on top of the master password to verify your identity. It also has a good password generator, supports multi-sync and unlimited logins and devices, has been independently audited, and is included for free with each ExpressVPN subscription — best of all, you can continue using ExpressVPN Keys for free even after your ExpressVPN subscription expires.

But if you want a feature-rich password manager, I don’t recommend ExpressVPN Keys because it’s missing many extras offered by top password managers like 1Password and Dashlane.
