### "Security and high speed "

January 13, 2019

4.0

I have contacted the customer support 2 times because the Brazil vpn was not working and they helped me out promptly to resolve the issue.

Pros

Express VPN is really easy to use, secure and does not slow down your internet connection. You basically only need to press a button to turn it on or off in your device. I use it in my laptop, cellphone ( iOS) and computer and it’s been working great. You can also share with friends because it allows you to use It in 2 devices simultaneously.

Cons

For more than one time I tried to set my IP to Brazil and it was unavailable. It was frustrating because I wanted to watch a Brazil show that is only available if you are in Brazil. I contacted the customer support and they help me out promptly.

### "Simple but comprehensive solution for data protection"

September 30, 2019

4.0

My overall experience is great. The service gives the peace of mind that my and my teams' data is protected.

Pros

ExpressVPN does exactly what it promises: protects your data and privacy. It is a great insurance policy against bad actors.

Cons

They could have made it a little easier to understand exactly what the service does. I don't have any complaints now that its up and running

### "One of the best VPM services I have used"

March 8, 2018

5.0

It gives you access to various services you might not be able to use when you are abroad.

Pros

Very easy software to use with a simple user screen which all people can operate. You can select between 94 countries

Cons

Express VPN is not a freeware hence you need to pay for a subscription, but you are allowed to use it on five unties which is great.

### "Very dependable and easy to use"

July 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

Connection speed of most fo the servers is really fast. GUI is very intuitive, it offers full control on the most important settings, and it is clean. I like that you can save a list of favorite servers. It feels like security really matters to the developers.

Cons

Expensive, otherwise it would certainly be a top choice for many. Initial set up can take a bit. Other software provide an easier first installation. At the same time, ExpressVPN allows for a better customization of some key settings.

### "Extremely Easy to Change Locations"

November 24, 2018

4.0

This solved my need to hide my ip. I have two different accounts for one of the online auction sites and I have to use this to change my ip so I can access them both.

Pros

The ease of changing locations is literally the click of a button. The software is very easy to understand once installed. You have a huge connected button and you click once to connect or disconnect from the service at that ip. You connect to locations all around the world. It does not seem to slow down my browsing at all while protecting my privacy.

Cons

Occasionally I will get a hiccup and it will stall out while changing locations and I have to force quit. Not often enough to stop me from usage but is slightly annoying.

### "A solid VPN"

September 26, 2020

4.0

My overall experience was fun because it was easy to setup. The customer support is also top-notch. I was able to access other countries/servers easily and did not face any issues. There was no lag and that's why I enjoyed using this product.

Pros

What I loved is the number of servers/countries I could choose from to use their app. It connected easily without any hiccups. The encryption levels are high, and the best part is that it does not save any traffic logs. I love that they have an App available especially for my Android TV where I was able to access US Netflix easily. Other VPNs get caught but Express VPN does not. Their customer service is quite prompt and help you if you get caught out by Netflix. There was no need for me to use my card for the one week trial.

Cons

I got some good speed but there were times when the quality of my Netflix stream dipped even though I have a 100 MB connection. It has something to do with the quality of the free trials offered. The other thing which I did not like was that Amazon Video did not work for me and showed me the content for my country.

### "Browse with no fear"

November 23, 2018

4.0

Solves almost every kind of browsing problems and gives you a different smooth browsing experience with its security features which ensures protection to your computer or mobile phone

Pros

I first used ExpressVPN in my mobile phone. i still remember that i was facing unwanted error and virus problems and disturbing surfing experience, but the i came across this application which solved my most of the browsing problems just in one go. And its is as good as the mobile application when you switch it to PC. One must use this because it solves almost every browsing problem that one gets while browsing.

Cons

It is free for a period of time but believe me pay for it because it is worth paying.

### "Helped me bypassed the Great Firewall of China! "

August 2, 2018

5.0

Best VPN for jumping the firewall in China

Pros

I do long trips to mainland China often, and the great firewall has always been an issue as it blocks gmail so I couldn't work properly. Some VPNs worked great, but by my next visit it became so slow it's unusable. ExpressVPN has been the most consistent one so far. It has many VPN locations with really good connection, and has apps so you can use it easily on your phone as well.

Cons

The mainland china VPNs when accessed in the US is slower than I like it to be, but otherwise it's great!

### "Questionable performance in China."

April 13, 2020

3.0

Because this was the only solution that somewhat worked in China, I was glad to have it. It worked most of times, but the few times it didn't, our travel plans were brought to a stand-still.

Pros

When it worked during my trip in China, it worked flawlessly as long as the internet was good enough. I noticed a delay, because I'm used to instant load times; but still quite usable. Ordering Taxi's, using Google Translate, all worked quite well.

Cons

Sometimes it just refused to work in China. I'd close and restart, but to no avail and that too, in times of need. The VPN not working delayed our trip on multiple days, when we needed to order a taxi or look up directions on Google Maps.

### "Remove geo-restrictions within a second."

July 11, 2022

5.0

I like to watch Netflix online, but I hate their geo-restrictions. I tried ExpressVPN and it worked like a charm. Now I can watch all my favorite shows, no matter where I am in the world! This is a great VPN service.

Pros

Fast service, amazing customer service, easy to use, and reliable. They are the best VPN service in the market and I use them for unblocking and security.

Cons

I've been using a VPN for several years now and have tried many different services. ExpressVPN is by far the best VPN I've used. The price is a little higher than some of the other services out there but it is well worth it for the quality and reliability of the service.

### "An expat’s lifeline"

September 22, 2021

4.0

I’ve found the customer service very good. I’ve only ever had one problem, it was eventually solved and throughout the time it took to fix (a couple of weeks in the end), the advice I received was excellent and they continued to check on me throughout.

Pros

I really like the ease with which I can change my VPN to any country depending on the app I’m using.

Cons

Sometimes the VPN for certain countries can take time to connect but overall it’s a very good service.

### "Cheap and easy VPN"

June 15, 2021

5.0

Overall, ExpressVPN did its job well and it was well worth the price. I usually recommend this when people ask me what to use. I don't really need a VPN anymore, so I haven't tried other options.

Pros

ExpressVPN was very cheap, easy to use, and fast to set up. I used it often to check search results or organic rankings in other cities.

Cons

I was limited to major cities throughout the world and it was often slow to turn on and/or switch from one location to another. It would have been better if there were more available cities, but I get the limitations.

### "Daily ExpressVPN user"

April 7, 2022

5.0

I have used VPN for over a year and use it daily to protect myself and my computer online.

Pros

I like that ExpressVPN is a simple way to protect myself online. All I have to do is click a few buttons to activate the VPN for protection and privacy online.

Cons

Sometimes ExpressVPN takes a few minutes to load. Usually it only takes a few seconds but I wish the time it took to load was more consistent.

Many useful online resources and websites are simply not accessible from our country, and we need to access them via a VPN.

Pros

ExpressVPN is fast, secure and easy to use, so I never face problems in accessing any site, even those blocked in my country.

### "Extremely Easy to Use"

July 27, 2021

5.0

ExpressVPN has allowed me to easily connect from different regions of the world, providing some useful insights and testing as a global web company.

Pros

I can easily connect to so many regions around the world, switch between them as I need and it is all easy to use without any catches. I was also able to easily install it on my router, and the documentation and configuration couldn't be any easier.

Cons

Every now and then, I experience a bit of slowdown, but it has not really affected my usage in any serious way.

### "Costly but effective VPN services from ExpressVPN"

May 11, 2022

5.0

Overall, as a VPN they have great security, good and reliable connection, overall satisfactory speed, and limited drawbacks of services. Highly recommended for users required to have a high-speed VPN at but high cost.

Pros

The connection is uninterruptible and the server is fast, with no significant visual lagging. The most important thing is security which seems way better than competitors.

Cons

The maintenance cost of Express VPN is quite expensive. Though it is expensive the server still has drop issues during busy schedules.
