what's up guys lucas here and in today's video i'm going to be doing a quick comparison review
between expressvpn and proton vpn so if you've been wondering which is the better vpn service
well you have come to the right place okay so proton vpn is from the same entity also
responsible for protonmail which is a respected encrypted email service does this expertise carry
over to their vpn though well for the most part yes but proton vpn goes toe to toe with expressvpn
in some key areas but falls short in some other areas as well and of course it's always tough to
beat expressvpn in terms of speed but what about other areas well keep watching to the end to find
out and after this short video if you'd like to learn more about expressvpn i will put a link to
my full expressvpn review in the video description down below along with a discount link all right
so to kick things off in this comparison review the first thing that i looked into was the speed
of each vpn and i did find that proton vpn speeds are not the best but they are still
usually good enough for streaming on the other hand expressvpn is the fastest vpn on the market
so there's honestly no contest here if you want the best streaming speeds and good upload and
download speeds always go with expressvpn okay now for the quality of their server networks i
found that expressvpn has 148 server locations in 94 countries around the world which is definitely
something to consider compared to the 112 locations in just 14 countries that proton vpn has
next in terms of customer support expressvpn backs up their product with support on all levels be
it live chat email help or a large knowledge base and tutorials on their site now on the other hand
proton vpn does not have a live chat or any 24 7 support but they can be emailed for help now when
it comes to ease of use i found that expressvpn was incredibly easy to download and set up and
use on multiple devices and once it's open the app will offer to connect you to a recommended server
based on your location or you can choose to connect to the location of your choice
if you do wish to change from the automatic security protocol just click on the settings
button and you'll see the full lists of protocols to choose from another bonus is that expressvpn
can unblock content on most any streaming platform which is another reason why it's so popular as far
as proton vpn well i found it pretty easy to use and and once you signed up for an account you can
download the software based on your operating system proton works with windows mac linux ios
and android also depending on your subscription you may be able to use proton on multiple devices
setup is easy and only takes a few minutes once it's all loaded you can choose which country to
connect to or you can select the quick connect feature usually connecting to the server just
takes a few seconds but if you choose a full server it may take longer also if you have a
server that you want to connect to regularly you can create a profile and that location and server
information it's also helpful that profiles appear on the quick connect drop-down list
finally in terms of pricing i was surprised to find out that both vpns come in just under seven
dollars a month and both have a 30-day money-back guarantee however proton vpn supports up to 10
simultaneous connections while expressvpn is only limited to 5 devices but expressvpn still
has the upper hand in terms of speed unblocking capability and customer support options so the
question remains which vpn is the right option for you well both vpns use a 256 bit encryption
so that's a wash in that aspect um and i like how proton vpn only uses two versions of openvpn
and the rerouting secure core features but the lack of server countries and slow speeds makes
expressvpn the clear winner here okay so hopefully this video was helpful if so please feel free to
give me a thumbs up as that always makes my day and just a reminder if you are interested
