Overview

To help reclaim your privacy from so-called surveillance capitalism, you should add a VPN to your toolkit. A VPN protects you by routing all your web traffic through an encrypted connection to a remote server, hiding your identity and shielding your data. ExpressVPN is an excellent example for those who want a lot of server choices and strong speed results, with a massive global footprint and strong privacy practices to protect your information. The app also includes many bonus features, like an ad blocker and an adult content blocker. A visual refresh of ExpressVPN has revitalized its apps, but it's expensive and still not as packed with features as competitors that are similarly priced or even cheaper. Proton VPN is our top overall choice in the category thanks to its well-rounded offering and generous free version.

Why We Picked It

ExpressVPN recently redesigned its app, but it's not just a pretty thing to look at. ExpressVPN has a very large presence that stretches across 94 countries, and uses very few virtual servers in the process. While it has eschewed the new WireGuard VPN protocol, it instead uses its own technology called LightWay along with the open-source OpenVPN protocol.

Who It's For

With numerous server locations, ExpressVPN is an excellent choice for anyone living or traveling outside the US. Anyone keen on spoofing their location (to listen to the BBC iPlayer, perhaps) should be well served, too.
