ExpressVPN Review

Paul - 2 years ago

problem is - Express VPN cuts off several apps including WhatsApp at times. Slows my computer and does not allow me to print through the wireless network. So I am closing it out

I've used it pretty much constantly the past 2 weeks. I'm not sure what happened with some of these reviews but I've had a good experience. The only thing is I wasn't able to watch hulu on it, but that's because Hulu is invasive and don't like not knowing who you are and tell you to turn the VPN off to watch hulu. I really like Express so far.

First, it's based in the Virgin Islands - most privacy friendly government (not British controlled) there is. Second, instead of tracking users by devices (requires records on their part identifying your machine), the just issue you a password and limit the number of connections your password can make - no records kept at all. Overall: the only other VPN I'd consider is NordVPN - which I think is a close second. It's based in Panama which is another privacy friendly country. In one way it's better - it requests frequent testing by a third (neutral) party, and when it falls short of perfect, NordVPN makes its mistakes public and improves them, fixing the leak. Also, NordVPN doesn't track you by device. What decide the matter for me was that ExpressVPN has better encryption. I actually like the way NordVPN handles business better. I've been using ExpressVPN for several months now, using it while researching COVID19 and the upcoming elections in the States. No lag what so ever on android or kindle fire devices. I love it. You set your device settings to allow no internet access without a VPN connection and then again in software and you're leak proof - I've tested this on both devices. NOTE: I've used Cyberghost for many years, and had very good experiences with them. Their engineers are a dedicated bunch. Tech support was awesome. Then learned recently they were bought out by an Israeli group known for flagrant violations of user's personal data and unfortunately I find myself forced to let them go. What a shame and waist of a good bunch for the bad reputation of their new parent company. Also, Cyberghost claims no records, but tracks number of connections by devices - which requires records!

just cancelled. every time I tried logging on to internet or Wi-Fi I had to disconnect. tried to work out problems with chat room next week it back to same problems. Then I started with problems on my phone on internet or wi-fi for days, talk to apple, carrier ATT, internet provider (spectrum), as soon as I deleted Express VPN on my phone everything was back to normal.

Worked well in terms of connections/servers to access Netflix, etc. from Europe when traveling Support if you need it is readily available both chat and telephone Yet, BIG PROBLEM, when used in the USA, Starbucks to be specific, it essentially messed up with my DNS etc., so that the PC, on Windows10 so perfectly functional, etc., became UNABLE to login using sbucks wifi and to other stores WiFI - computer retained the ability to connect to my home or friends home WiFi! Endless discussions with Cust Serv, various parts of the world not USA, cheat and obviously phone if trying to debug from Starbucks, to no avail. They seemed aware of the problem they had, yet …. Overall assessment: not serious!

I have just cancelled my subscription. No complaints about how it works once connected, but it takes forever to connect. I change location, restart the PC etc but the green circle just goes around and around for what seems like forever - certainly 10 minutes is not exceptional. Occasionally it only takes a few seconds, but there must be something better out there.

Seems to be working great for me. Zero notices informing me of my activities from my ISP. So, I am happy ;)
