I tested ExpressVPN's speed, value, and ease-of-use to find out if this well-rated global video streaming solution is worth the premium price.
ExpressVPN MSRP $13.00 Score Details “ExpressVPN is a high-quality video streaming solution that protects your privacy and includes a password manager.” Pros Cons ExpressVPN is a top-rated service that ranks well in our guide to the best VPN solutions, so we already know it’s good. The question remains whether there’s enough value to justify the cost and whether it has the features you need for solid cybersecurity.
Even with the free months, ExpressVPN is one of the most expensive VPNs on the market. I expect excellent privacy protection, great speed, consistently stable connections, and more to justify the extra money. It’s an interesting option that protects privacy for all devices connected to the router. ExpressVPN even has a way to choose different servers for each device.
ExpressVPN shows a list of recommended locations that are physically closest to where I am. Since every packet of data I send and receive might travel through dozens of routers, adding a slight delay for every hop. A closer location ensures more responsive performance. ExpressVPN’s browser extension is simply a convenience feature that relies on the desktop app. That means any changes I make in the extension affect my system, and aren’t limited to the browser.
When I connected to ExpressVPN’s recommendation of the fastest server, downloads were imperceptibly slower at 761Mbps . Uploads dropped to 64Mbps . While that’s a fraction of my normal upload rate, it’s fast for a VPN that is optimized for quicker downloads. As expected, a Google Maps search for “vegan restaurants near me” showed the best places to get a healthy meal in New South Wales. ExpressVPN checks the boxes for a good streaming VPN.
The greeting was super fast. It took about three minutes to get an answer to my question about split-tunneling in the browser, which is still fast. The answer is that split-tunneling can be set up in the app. The greater concern are the esoteric details like activity logs and whether they’re associated with your account data. Leading VPNs like ExpressVPN have strict no-log policies audited by third-party security labs to verify your data is safe.
