Hello and welcome back to Cloudwards.net.
My name’s Maurico and in this video, we’re going to take a look at ExpressVPN, which
currently sits at the top of our VPN rankings.
From features to security to pricing, we’re going to talk about every aspect of ExpressVPN,
so strap in.
Before diving in, make sure to subscribe and hit that bell icon.
That way, you’ll know whenever we upload a new video.
ExpressVPN combines everything we want to see in a VPN under one roof.
Starting at the top, it’s dead simple to use.
The interface resembles a smartphone app, with nothing more than a power button and
location selector.
After downloading the app, all you need to do is click the power button.
ExpressVPN automatically chooses the best location for you, making the process basically
mindless.
If you want to go a little deeper, though, you can.
ExpressVPN has a wide range of features and settings, including a speed test and split
tunneling.
Split tunneling allows you to send some traffic through the VPN tunnel while other traffic
stays on your unprotected connection.
For me, this is really useful when I want to protect my browsing while running my online
backup at full speed.
Not that speed is an issue with ExpressVPN.
In fact, it’s the fastest VPN we’ve tested.
Although there’s an initial drop, ExpressVPN stays surprisingly consistent across locations.
That’s true no matter if you’re connecting to a server in a neighboring city or one on
the other side of the world.
There are differences between the servers, but you can easily find the fastest one using
the speed test feature.
The extra speed is great for streaming, too, which is what I mainly use ExpressVPN for.
It’s an absolute machine when it comes to streaming.
No matter if you want to use Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime Video, ExpressVPN gets the
job done.
It even includes MediaStreamer, which provides the benefits of accessing different streaming
libraries from around the world without the need for encryption.
We’ve done several hundred tests with ExpressVPN and Netflix and it works flawlessly, you can
find a video on why you want to use a VPN with Netflix in the card above.
Speaking on encryption, ExpressVPN is top notch in that regard, too.
Out of the box, it uses AES-256 with OpenVPN, which is enough to keep you protected in high
risk countries like China.
That said, ExpressVPN doesn’t include an encapsulated protocol like VyprVPN.
Click the card up here to see what we think of that service.
The security is backed by a strict no-logs policy.
ExpressVPN also implements perfect forward secrecy, meaning the key used to encrypt your
connection is refreshed every hour.
That means even if someone could find the key to decrypt your connection, they could
only see an hour’s worth of traffic at most.
From security to ease of use, ExpressVPN is the best.
It comes with a price to match, though.
With only 5 simultaneous connections and only a slight discount on the annual plan, ExpressVPN
is one of the more expensive services out there.
Still, you can get three months of service for free using our special Cloudwards sign-up
link in the description below.
There’s a 30-day money-back guarantee, too.
In the many times we’ve tested ExpressVPN, they’ve always honored the refund policy
without asking any questions.
There’s a week-long trial you can use, as well, though it’s only for mobile devices.
Overall, it’s hard not recommending ExpressVPN.
After years of reviewing VPNs at Cloudwards, we’ve tested over 50 providers.
No matter how many times we have retested ExpressVPN, it still ranks at the top thanks
to its streamlined interface, uncompromising speed and excellent security.
When I want to keep my connection secured, it’s the first tool I reach for.
If you want to give it a shot, you can find the sign-up link in the description below,
which will give you three months for free on an annual plan.
I’ll also leave our written review down there if you want to go over all of the details.
