Hey guys Lance here and welcome to my review today of expressvpn so a lot of
you have been asking me for a review of expressvpn and understandably so it's
often talked about as either the number one VPN or it's often on most top three
lists so what I want to do today is give you a good overview of what express is
currently doing that's really good I'll provide some perspective on how well
some of the features actually work in the real world and then share some
reasons this may not be the best VPN for you to choose now also I will be doing a
follow up video where I'll go into more details behind some of the things I'll
be covering today so you can check the description for a link to that video
once it's ready and just a reminder if you do decide to get expressvpn feel
free to use the link in the description I'm always working to get any special
deals or discounts for you guys that I can so if you click on the link in the
description it will automatically send you to the best deal possible so
starting with a list of the positives that expressvpn offers first off there's
no activity logs and no connection logs it's based outside the USA so it's away
from NSA spine currently there are 3000 servers or 3,000 plus servers in 160 VPN
server locations in 94 countries they do have unlimited in high quality bandwidth
now they have a kill switch its industry-leading and its really a
must-have for anyone who's doing torrenting or file-sharing in particular
the apps for express have a built-in speed test and they do support anonymous
Bitcoin payments they use their own zero-knowledge dns servers they have
military-grade encryption which is best-in-class
and their apps are easy to use they're actually award-winning and they are
available for virtually every platform and device so you know Windows Mac
Mobile all the different devices they do have 24/7 live chat support that is
available for immediate technical troubleshooting and that's an important
distinction some VPNs provide 24/7 support but it's just for simple
questions and you have to go through an email ticket system to get actual
technical troubleshooting so that is available as part of their live chat
support they also provide an unconditional 30-day money-back Aaron
tea for full peace of mind and that's important so you can try it out make
sure you like it and if something doesn't work out you can always get your
money back also they've made a are should say expressvpn they've made
strong public commitments to keeping no logs of any of their users activities
and they do provide financial support to EF F or the Electronic Frontier
Foundation and also to other worthy privacy causes as well so now the
question is how do all these great things actually work in practice or in
the real world well the app itself or the VPN it's easy to set up it's easy to
install even for someone who's a beginner or a newbie this is your first
VPN you've used you will find it very simple and easy to set up it's designed
for the beginner in mind the apps do connect faster VPN servers there's no
waiting everything downloads really fast so for
example there's no lagging when you're streaming or torrenting or gaming and
it's extremely reliable so there's minimal dropped connections
they rarely occur but when they do occur the kill switch works every time it's
also again easy to use it's plain English settings and they have a
one-click a smart location that couldn't be any easier to use it's just very very
simple very straightforward also unlike a lot of VPNs that are now blocked
expressvpn still works fine with Netflix Hulu and really the mate all the major
streaming media type services which is again really nice if that's something
that you're interested in if you want to dig more into the app settings and play
with protocols and encryption levels you can do that that's all there and that's
one of the strengths or not I should say one of the many strengths of expressvpn
is some VPNs lean more towards newbies or more towards advanced users and
Express finds that nice balance where it's absolutely simple and easy to use
but they still allow use some of that control so you can change your settings
up a little bit without being something you need that confuses the experience at
all especially for the beginner or the newbie you don't have to worry about it
if you don't want to now that being said there are some negative lamb I don't if
I call negatives the reasons you may want to consider a
different VPN so there's just a couple in particular the first is if you want a
true no logs policy so Express does keep track or does log timestamps and
bandwidth so if that's something you're particular about you're going to want to
consider or choose a different VPN also if you need or want more than five
devices that you can connect to simultaneously again you'll want to go
with a different VPN and lastly cost although the cost is certainly fair
given everything you're getting it is on the higher side for VPNs so if you're
someone who's in a situation where you don't necessarily want the best you want
something that's adequate and will do a good job but you'd rather spend the
least amount of money possible then you'll probably want to go with the
different VPN so ultimately would I recommend Express VPN absolutely for
many I would say this would be the number one choice you could and should
get for a VPN for all the reasons I mentioned above and it's such a great
all-round VPN that's really what I like about Express you're covered whether you
want to do streaming unblock Netflix gaming file sharing using a VPN for
travel or unsecured Wi-Fi and coffee shops you don't have to worry about your
connection dropping and should you have a problem they have a great support team
to help you out so overall this is currently my number one pick for best
overall VPN it's one I love using it's it's truly enjoyable to use because of
how simple it is how straightforward is and how problem free it is as a VPN to
use and just a reminder again if you would like to get expressvpn feel free
