how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm going to show you guys
how you can use expressvpn on the desktop whether you're on mac or windows you're
going to be able to use this as a reference uh for just everything you need to learn about expressvpn
now thankfully this will be a short video because expressvpn is that easy to use so it can be as
easy you know once you install your uh vpn and you pretty much have your credentials in there
all you have to do is click the on button and you are good to go it's really as simple as that
but of course you're not here because you know obviously it's very self-explanatory when it comes
to using the on and off button obviously and uh yeah let me just show you guys um i am connected
to miami so it shows that my ip address is and it shows as if i'm in miami but i'll use this
later uh this is just a way for you to confirm that you are connected to the correct ip address
so let's just turn this off now it's very simple with regards to using expressvpn by the way
if you're interested in learning more about expressvpn you'll find a review full review
down below if you'd like to learn more about the privacy policy speed streaming taunting
capabilities as well security and features and you also find a little discount that'll give you a
slight price drop to help you save a little bit more cash get you three extra months so
uh you want to go to the locations right here and this is where you will find all of the servers
that you're looking for so recently i was on the american servers and that's why i was there but
you know you can look at the recommended uh it'll give you a bunch of recommended servers based on
your location and you can view all the servers based on continents you know they're sorted by
continents so you know all the european you have over 3 000 servers in 94 countries and that is
way over the industry standard 94 countries is a massive number uh so you know some middle eastern
servers here and there lots of american and south american servers lots and lots of asian servers
uh which is usually not really that common with vpns so you'll find plenty of those and obviously
lots of european servers which all vpns have in common i would say okay so that'll be it for the
locations list you have a speed test now the speed test feature will save you a lot of time it'll
kind of let you know which servers are the best without having to test them out uh individually so
yeah this is a very nice feature that honestly you don't see in a lot of vpns okay and then you have
your options and uh this is where you're going to just uh notice that you don't really have much to
mess with here the user interface is very simple with expressvpn and it's very straightforward all
you need to know really now you have a couple of starter startup options here but you're only going
to mess with two tabs here that'll be the general tab and the protocol tab and you can always keep
your option on automatic here you don't ever have to change that but if you're looking for let's say
the fastest speeds at all times you can just use lightweight or you can just keep it on automatic i
generally prefer to keep it on lightweight now with the general tab here you need to know that
the kill switch and split tunneling are the only two features that are available in expressvpn
expressvpn is a very bread and butter uh type of vpn it's supposed to be as easy as possible
to use it's just a plug and play vpn and it does the job very efficiently and very well so all you
need to know is that the kill switch will cut your internet traffic if the vpn disconnects
unexpectedly and this will make sure that you're only going to be connected to the internet only
when you're secured by the vpn otherwise the vpn will cut your internet connection preventing any
leaks now it's just a good security measure especially if you want to make sure that you
don't get any of your information leaked to the isp or internet service provider now split telling
will allow to choose which applications are routed through the vpn which are not so you can choose to
encrypt certain applications such as maybe your browser or your torrenting client or any other
application that you can add through this button right here while the rest of your connection is
exempt from the vpn tunnel essentially and you can do it the other way around where you can have
selected applications not use the vpn while the rest of your connection is using the vpn so this
is a very useful way for people let's say you want to use netflix you want to change your region to
unblock netflix but you don't want the entirety of your connection to use the vpn right
so you can use split tunneling for that and with regards to protocols again there's nothing
you want to mess with here you can just keep it on automatic and you're you're good to go
um now you've got your browsers here and shortcuts once you turn on the vpn you'll notice that these
shortcuts will show up here so you can set up specific shortcuts you know be it netflix amazon
whatever it is so you know you can just add let's say a website link right and we can do netflix.com
add shortcut um i think oh there we go i don't have to do the www dot thing so we're good
and you'll notice that when i turn on the vpn it'll show up right here and uh yeah it's just
a nice way to kind of setup shortcuts so that you can just click it right away okay and in advance
there's nothing you want to mess with here don't touch anything okay you always want to keep this
on you want to keep this on as well to maximize the performance and then you have the sharing
crash reports which you can opt out of if you'd like but this will help express vpn uh improve
their service and that's pretty much it that's how you use expressvpn it's as simple as that okay
let's click okay i don't need the network lock and i don't need split tunneling so this is going to
click okay let's say i'm trying to unblock netflix us so let's go to or a netflix uk for that matter
um i did connect to the us server here so for a change let's just connect to the um
uk server for example and go to united kingdom and pick one of these let's just go with docklands for
example and i can either click and then turn on the vpn or just double click and we are good to
go and the moment i connect i'm just bringing up this ip finder to show you that we are indeed
connected to the correct server and check this out so netflix just showed up right away so you
can just click on one of these and it'll take you straight to the websites which is very convenient
now i'll just go ahead and refresh and it should show that i am in the uk and this is how you can
make sure that you are connected indeed to the correct server so that's pretty much how you can
use expressvpn it doesn't get any simpler than this it's made to be as easy to use as possible
