Cryptohippie is a security-first VPN that uses multiple network hops to make your traffic almost completely untraceable. However, it does keep partial logs. It only has native Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux applications, and it limits you to 25 GB per month. The multiple hop system makes this VPN more expensive than others on the market, but you can try it for yourself with the 30-day money-back guarantee (limited to 2 GB). ExpressVPN operates as a traditional VPN and offers 3,000+ servers. It has apps for all major platforms, no bandwidth limits, and keeps a strict no-logs policy. It also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Cryptohippie does support P2P activities on its servers, and the company says users average about 6 Mbps for P2P downloads. It offers 22 highly secure servers for you to use. It’s important to note that Cryptohippie may temporarily block some servers if it receives a DMCA notice. ExpressVPN allows torrenting on all of its servers plus it supports Tor. Its high-speed servers make them a good choice for your downloads.

Cryptohippie is relatively easy to use for Windows clients. It delivers military-grade encryption and can help you set up an entire network for safe streaming. You also get secure instant messaging, 1GB email accounts, and secure network disk space. ExpressVPN works with all Windows desktop PCs and laptops and is compatible with Windows 10,8,7,XP, and Vista. Its dedicated app is easy-to-use and includes kill switch technology, split tunneling, military-grade encryption, and more. It doesn’t offer server storage, but will provide you with an all-round high-quality Windows experience.

There’s no Cryptohippie Android app, but you can access the service by adjusting settings directly on your device. You’re secure on wi-fi and public networks as well as on cell networks, though it’s just a 1+ hop instead of the company’s usual 2+. Only one mobile device is allowed per network, whether that’s at home or on a public system. ExpressVPN has a highly-rated Android app that provides you with blazing fast speeds and top-of-the-range security. With its intuitive interface, leading protocols, and 3,000+ servers, ExpressVPN is a great choice for Android users.

Mac OS X users will like the security and anonymity provided by Cryptohippie, as well as its secure email and messaging services. Their 22 servers resist any type of physical location attempt and don’t leak any data. While Cryptohippie does log some data, it claims that this is related to the total bandwidth used and is meant to prevent people from abusing the service. The ExpressVPN app features one-click connection and is very easy to install and use. It offers lightning-fast speeds, a kill switch, rock-solid 256-bit encryption, 3,000+ servers that enable you to stream with ease, and no data caps, logs, or leaks.

The iOS service for Cryptohippie requires you to set it up via the network settings on the device instead of offering a dedicated app, and gives you cellular, public wi-fi, and home network protection. It’s single hop instead of multiple, so you’re secure, but not as anonymous as on its desktop apps. On the upside, you get leading military-grade security. ExpressVPN has native iOS devices that are rated highly for their wi-fi security, network support, simple interfaces, and fast customer service response times. ExpressVPN allows you to connect up to three devices simultaneously under one account.

Users say Cryptohippie doesn’t successfully unblock Netflix and some other US streaming services. While it’s incredibly secure, it lacks in the streaming department. ExpressVPN bypasses some of the toughest geo-restrictions we’ve come across, including those for Netflix, Hulu, and HBO in the US (and it works in China).
