ExpressVPN Review

Sorry for the rapid amounts of Reviews/Posts. I hope they have been helpful though!

This is all on IKEv2 || Average Speeds = 254.586 (Fastest VPN tested so far) || On OpenVPN it is roughly 180 Average (Not the fastest in terms of OpenVPN)

On the speed topic:

VPN Mullvad ExpressVPN TorGuard FastestVPN
P2P Speeds 23-33MB/s for the most part 23-30MB/s for the most part 20-30MB/s for the most part 20-30MB/s for the most part

NOTE: This is without port forwarding (On ALL)

P2P speeds, for the most part, all feel the same when downloading a 1.5GB file. I have found that ExpressVPN on IKEv2 is a very stable 23-30MB/s with fewer fluctuations compared to the rest.

On the DNS topic:

This VPN is more like TorGuard in the regards that you do not need to do anything like turning off IPv6 on your ISP Adapter (Like FastestVPN) all you do is connect and it automatically blocks IPv6 if needed to reduce/eliminate DNS leaks. You just connect and go, however, if you are a more advanced user setting up the VPN is the best option.

On the app topic:

There are not a huge amount of settings or customizability like TorGuard for example but is more than enough for the average user. It is more than enough to keep you safe torrenting and even more so for a regular use case. You can even if you decide just launch and connect without doing anything, however, adjusting settings and not sending crash reports and such is the best option.

On the streaming topic:

This VPN works for streaming just fine. There are locations that do not work, however, it is not hard to find another location to use if needed US Netflix works on Atlanta and LA that I can confirm the others I have not tested. You do not need to pay extra on top of 12.95USD a month for streaming support.

On the Logging topic:

ExpressVPN is a 100% no logs VPN. You do not have to worry about them logging info which therefore means torrenting/P2P is more than okay and no need to worry about DMCA requests being forwarded (Unless you leak)

EDIT: The service is not necessarily the most stable for the price it is. I get a good one to two disconnects a day. This is not something that has been solved by Customer Support for about two days now.

NOTE: This post is older than it says. I had troubles uploading this post and was finally able to with the help of the sub mods.

EDIT2: The service is more stable now after the latest update but still has some disconnect issues (Little enough for me to overlook).

EDIT3: The service is stable on OpenVPN or the Automatic Protocol but not as stable on IKEv2. IKEv2 can get random crashes at times but is not common.

Really appreciate these so far! I’ve been in the market for a new VPN solution.

Nice review. I’ve tested quite a few different vpns over the last few months, but after trying the Nord trial thing I found them to be the best honestly. Express is up there too.

Is there a maximum number of devices for ExpressVPN?

I’m glad they are of use!

Yes, it is 5 online at a time infinite otherwise.

Unless you put the VPN on your router, then everything connected through still counts as just one device, correct?

I have never tried… But I believe so.

Thanks. I’m looking at doing this, hoping I don’t brick my router in the process.

If you follow to guides Express give you should be fine.

Yes, I know… it just seems a bit like going over the top of a roller coaster, hoping it all works!

Hopefully it goes smoothly.
