ExpressVPN review

ExpressVPN is a polished privacy VPN that ranks eighth here mainly on price. Its App Store listing describes servers in 113 countries including all 50 US states, the in-house Lightway protocol alongside OpenVPN, WireGuard and IKEv2, RAM-only servers that wipe data on every reboot, and a no-logs policy that has been independently audited. Plans support up to 14 simultaneous connections, the most of any VPN on this list, and the app reconnects automatically if the VPN drops. For gamers it does the same core jobs as the cheaper VPNs: it hides your home IP from players who might try to flood it and lets you appear in another country. On the US App Store the 12-month Basic plan costs $79.99, about $6.67 a month, and the standard 12-month plan $99.99. That is well above Proton VPN or CyberGhost, and like any privacy VPN it offers no game-specific routing to cut ping.

Who it is for
