How does a VPN unblock websites online?

Some governments limit access to certain websites based on your internet traffic. A VPN acts like a website unblocker by routing all your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel, so your data packets can’t be inspected, manipulated, or censored.

Encrypt your web traffic with ExpressVPN to unblock the sites you want, even if they’re censored in your country. When you connect to one of our servers around the world, you’ll be able to browse the Internet with a new IP address and access sites that might otherwise be censored for you.

Why would I want to unblock sites?

Let’s say you’ve moved to a part of the world where the government censors sites like YouTube, Twitter, Skype, or Facebook. We believe you should be able to access these sites no matter where you are in the world.

No matter what you’re trying to browse, ExpressVPN gives you instant access.
