PROS:
CONS:
ExpressVPN’s strengths are its high level of encryption, geographical diversity of servers (it has servers in 94 countries worldwide) and the fact that it has a minimum impact on your computer’s performance. However, it does fall short in some aspects: the lack of an ad block feature, the fact that it only support simultaneous connections on 5 devices and the fact that it is a bit expensive.
ExpressVPN is a VPN service developed by a company based in the British Virgin Islands.
The service was launched in 2009 and it is one of the fastest VPNs on the market. It works on all operating systems, from macOS and iOS to Windows, Android and Linux and it guarantees a 99.9% uptime.
The desktop interface has an attractive design and it is very straightforward, installation and activation won't take longer then 5 minutes. You can opt between letting the VPN choose the best server or choosing one yourself, based on location. For areas such as North America, Europe and Asia you can even narrow it down to a city.
When it comes to the number of devices you can connect automatically, ExpressVPN allows simultaneous connections on only up to 5 devices, which is below average.
Yes it works! This VPN does a good job unblocking geo-restricted content. You can access a wide array of streaming services such as: Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, ESPN, HBO, Hulu, Netflix (not on all servers though) and many more.
ExpressVPN can also stream Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Go, and much more in Full HD.
Also good for unblocking YouTube, Google, Facebook, and other well know websites.
ExpressVPN is best for streaming and torrenting if this is your primary reason choosing a VPN.
For torrenting use ExpressVPN comes out first place, with unlimited bandwich,speed and data caps. It also allows torrenting and P2P sharing across any of its servers.
ExpressVPN also have DNS on every server which protects you from leaks and reavealing your torrenting activity also another possitive thing is that ExpressVPN keeps no log history.
We highly recommend ExpressVPN for torrenting based on perfomance.
We also appreciated the fact that there is a Kill Switch feature, meaning that your access to Internet will be blocked if ExpressVPN is not connected.
ExpressVPN has a great advantage with more than 3,000 servers in 94 countries (145 cities) because of this they only compete CyberGhost and NordVPN when it comes to the number of servers they own.
With ExpressVPN you also have access to virtual server locations from which you can get a fast,secure and reliable connection. When using this feature you will connect to a virtual location and your traffic will come from an IP of your choice while being routed through a server in a country with better internet connection.

ExpressVPN doesn’t keep logs of your IP addresses or connection times but it does keep some with your server choice, amount of data and connection dates. However, those can’t be used to track you down.
ExpressVPN would never collect the following information:
They also never collect any activity or connection logs.
We have also made a test to see if ExpressVPN has any leaks, to result was that they do not have any leaks at all which is a positive thing.

When it comes to security, the OpenVPN traffic is encrypted with a 256-bit AES algorithm and their entire website is secured with SSL 4096 bit CA. Usually, higher levels of encryption affect your performance, but somehow, ExpressVPN manages to obtain impressive results while still using strong OpenVPN encryption settings.
This VPN supports 4 protocols: PPTP, SSTP, L2TP/IPsec and OpenVPN with TCP/UDP. By default, ExpressVPN is set to choose a protocol automatically, selecting the best option for your network.

All three plans offered by ExpressVPN come with 30 day money back guarantee and the same number of features. You can pay with credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Visa Electron, Delta and others), via PayPal, Bitcoin or Paymentwall.
Another important aspect why ExpressVPN got the first place in our ranks is their speed. We have made from performance test on speedtest.net. The results from SpeedTest.net show a blazingly fast performance for most of the locations tested.

Germany - Frankfurt
