how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm going to show you guys how you
can use expressvpn on a mac and uh the cool thing about expressvpn is the insane compatibility with
all uh devices no matter which device or you you're using as you can tell here it says
that it works on all macbook and imac models which most vpns can't really do at this point because of
the um well how non-open source and the uh kind of closed source rather infrastructure
of a uh an apple device all right so uh let's get into that before we get if you guys are interested
in expressvpn you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below as
well as a full review if you'd like to learn more about expressvpn's privacy policy speed streaming
taunting capabilities as well as security and features and keep in mind that while i am on
windows there are practically no differences between express vpn on windows or mac so
you don't really have to worry about anything and after having spoken with the live chat support of
expressvpn they have confirmed that there are no differences between the expressvpn versions on
windows and mac now typically you know on most vpns you'll see missing features on mac whereas
windows will have those features but thankfully with expressvpn you're still going to get access
to all the servers all the features including the kill switch and split tunneling as well as the
protocols so great to hear so i'll explain what a kill switch is in splaton because i'm assuming you
are new to expressvpn i'll go ahead and explain those in a bit and of course when it comes to
using expressvpn it's very self-explanatory as you can tell you can just simply click this
button right here and you are good to go now if i go ahead and check what is my ip address if i go
ahead and check that let me just wait for the vpn to connect and the moment it connects all i need
to do is just check my uh vpip address here now as you can tell it's pretty self-explanatory when it
comes to using expressvpn it's made specifically to be as easy to use and understand as possible
um so it can be as simple as just clicking the on and off button to turn it on and off and you are
good to go so now that i'm connected you can just go to let's say what is myipaddress.com
i'm going to go ahead and refresh that i was connected to an italian server earlier so that's
why it's showing italy and now i'm connected to the united states it really is as simple as that
okay so you're new to a vpn you want to at least know what expressvpn's features do and
we don't have too many features to explain all you have is the network lock and split tunneling
now the kill switch will cut your internet traffic if the vpn disconnects unexpectedly
and this will make sure that you don't run into a situation where your data is leaked
because the vpn disconnected unexpectedly and you just didn't really know that the connection was
cut uh from the evpn tunnel so this will make sure that your internet will just be completely stopped
and severed if the vpn disconnects unexpectedly it's just a safety measure really it's very rare
that expressvpn disconnects on its own unless there are connection problems within the server
or your internet connection now smith telling will allow you to choose which applications are
routed to the vpn and which are not so this can be very useful let's say i only want to allow my
torrenting client to use the vpn and i can just do that or i want my steam for example to not
um go through the vpn tunnel while the rest of my connection is using the vpn so you can just go to
your applications here select the executable and you are good to go and it's the same really with
your mac so you will just hit plus here and once you click add another app it will take you to
your program files on your mac and you'll be able to select the executable it really is as simple
as that okay and with regards to protocols you can just hit automatic but for the sake of consistency
i like to use the fastest protocol which is the lightweight udp protocol which is also available
on your mac so no worries there so that's pretty much it once you know what these features are for
you can go ahead and decide whether or not to use them and with regards to shortcuts if you noticed
here when i turn on my vpn a bunch of shortcuts show up here and these are the shortcuts so let's
say you want um netflix to be your shortcut and you can just uh yeah you can you can really just
do that turn on the vpn and click these shortcuts you have browser extensions if you'd like to
download these and in advance there's nothing you want to mess with here you want to keep all that
ticked except for this if you would like to not share the crash reports but again these reports
never contain personally identifiable information so no worries there and of course expressvpn
is backed up by a strict no locks policy with plenty of evidence to show for it uh all the
details obviously will be in the description down below so once you know and understand what
expressvpn does head on to locations and pick a server now you have recommended servers here
based on your location but you can just go to all locations and they're all
categorized by their uh by continent um let's say we're looking for an american server here
for netflix hit new york seattle dallas phoenix now let's just go with la and connect and see
what happens and i'm pretty far from la yet the connection is still quite a bit quick considering
the distance as you can tell here and if you want to make sure that you are indeed connected to the
right server all you need to do is just go to some kind of what is my ip address identifier
just plenty plenty of ip address identifiers just look it up on your browser and uh you can
kind of confirm here so i am connected to los angeles the la server here okay so i'll go ahead
and turn it off so that i can show you guys the offers uh here with expressvpn if i go ahead to
