User opinions: what are pros and cons of Express VPN?

I hope it’s OK to post this as a question here. I recently signed up to a VPN for the first time, but it didn’t work well for me, so I’ve got a full refund and want to try a different provider. This time I’m doing more research!

I’d be interested to know what other users opinions are about Express VPN, what you like and what you don’t like?

Well Express is pretty easy to use, good customer support, easy to install on a variety of routers, even found a good router in Bangkok, about 10 percent faster than my previous VPN, Will work on Firestick

A little more expensive, more and more servers are blocked by the streaming services. This is a problem for Live TV with Hulu as it is Zip Code Specific, they have been able to provide a working server for Sling TV.

Not enough cons to make me look for something else

I’ve had EVPN for 2 years. I use it their OpenVPN files on my Asus router so that specific devices on my network use the vpn and others don’t.

Pros:
The OVPN files are easy to use on my router. Their apps are also very easy to use when I’m not at home. They have many servers all over the US so I can always find one to connect to.

Cons:
Like all vpns, their speeds are not very good. I lose about 50% of my overall available internet speed (measured using speed.cloudflare.com) when I’m connected to any of their servers.

Also, I received an email about a price increase on my next renewal. My yearly price is going up $20, which is too much for me. I’m going to be looking for a new vpn provider soon.

I’ve been on EVPN for two months. Made the switch only for their advertised windows split-tunneling. While using split-tunneling on Windows several programs that have been filtered not to use the VPN won’t function. Support says their engineers are working on it with no time estimate. Whats worse is they release updates to their app without really saying what was changed just that incredibly stupid playful things that companies say when they don’t think their users care like “We adjusted a few gears for you to make sure things run smoothly!” It’s pretty annoying to say the least.

If they don’t fix the issues with split-tunneling soon I may as well go back to my previous VPN provider because apparently no one has decent split-tunneling for windows anyway.

Does expressvpn work on peacock? For blacked out events ?

It’s really about the only one I can trust to keep plugging along on Android TV OS and not worry about. Really the only system I use it on because of the reliability. I don’t mind paying the extra for something that’s proven itself to me

Of the ones I use and have tried on Android TV OS, Express and Torguard are close. Others have worked good, but it’s the trust issue with leaving them on when leaving. Family is just used to Express ease of use interface

Thanks. That’s a big price rise.

Thanks, you have a lot of wishlists!

don’t trust express with kape ownage. Stick with atlas http://www.vpnproguide.com

It just so happened that you posted all these today when I made these wish lists :rofl:

That’s very handy :slight_smile:
