There is a lot of hype surrounding ExpressVPN’s service. You may have heard about this VPN’s legendary speeds and powerful unblocking capabilities when it comes to streaming.
But is ExpressVPN too good to be true? What’s the downside? Is ExpressVPN sacrificing your safety to achieve such high speeds?
To find out the real story, I put ExpressVPN through our toughest tests.

Great service
Everything works well for me with a focus on security as my main use. I do however have one issue that sucks. Their mediastreamer service no longer works with game consoles and hasn't since I signed up around 9 months ago. So I can't switch to other countries for Netflix. And I can't set it up on my router either.

Not all it's cracked up to be
Instructions are difficult for the layperson to find let alone understand. Purchased this service with a router from flashedrouters.
Any company that fills the internet with reviews about how easy it is to use and its great customer service yet only offers 'chat or email' customer service during a mere 5 hours per day only 5 days a week vs. offering SALES support 24/7 is more hype than substance. I spent almost $700 between a year of service and a pre-flashed router that works with their service. I did a lot of online research which has lead me to one conclusion... It is not that difficult to BUY a false online reputation. I am a real user and will be interested to see if vpnMentor actually publishes this review. I can show receipts for my purchases, I wonder how many of these 5-star reviews can do the same.

Working perfect
I like this excellent service a lot. It is working absolutely perfect. I have been using it for a couple of weeks, in my PC, in my mobile and also in an Asus router.
It is easy to order and setup, no matter which device.

Definitely not recommended
HMA has helped several times in the past to identify individual users for the judiciary through corresponding logs. HMA has completely failed.
A VPN provider that is able to identify individual users specifically in their usage behavior is extremely bad.
