What is VPN?

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a secure tunnel between two or more devices. VPNs are used to protect private web traffic from snooping, interference, and censorship.

What is a VPN? Top 3 VPN uses:
Hide your IP address and location

Use ExpressVPN to hide your IP and location. Choose among any of our VPN server locations in the US, UK, Australia, or any of 94 countries worldwide.
Encrypt your communications

Our VPN uses high strength 256-bit encryption to protect your data from prying eyes. Browse freely from Wi-Fi hotspots with the comfort that you can’t be tracked or monitored.
Watch your favorite content

Stream in HD from any of your devices. We’ve optimized our network to provide the highest speeds possible with unlimited bandwidth.

View blocked websites from anywhere

Easily unblock sites and services like Facebook, Twitter, Skype, YouTube and Gmail. With ExpressVPN you can keep on accessing the sites you love.
Avoid censorship and surveillance

When connected to ExpressVPN, your ISP only sees encrypted traffic passing to our VPN servers, but they cannot decipher the data or know the websites you have visited.
The world’s fastest VPN

With unlimited bandwidth, you can enjoy your favorite videos and video chat with your friends and family without waiting for videos to buffer.

Our high-strength VPN encryption protects not only your web browser but also your emails, Skype conversations, online banking, and everything you do or see online – whether you are at home, the office, a cafe, or traveling the world. Give yourself some added anonymity with ExpressVPN.
Stay safe from hackers and thieves

Once connected to ExpressVPN, all your data is encrypted and indecipherable, so you won’t have to worry about passwords and other sensitive information being intercepted.
We don’t monitor or log your activities

Online privacy is not always well understood, and laws are ever-changing. However, we are firm believers in privacy as a fundamental right. We never share your details with anyone.
Prevent third parties from tracking you

By hiding your IP address and location, ExpressVPN makes it harder for third-party sites and services to charge different prices or display targeted advertising based on location.

ExpressVPN works seamlessly across all your devices – be it your desktop computer, laptop, smartphone, router, or tablet. Simply install our user-friendly VPN apps on any of your devices. You can be connected on up to three devices at the same time.
