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.

Romanian based in Bucharest, VPN. c is a relatively new kid on the block as a VPN service provider since it was founded in 2012. Its credentials are boosted though as it has been in the information security industry for over 15 years. They pride themselves on experience in security features with their roots in the company, Netsec Interactive Solution.

Manages to fool my university's censorship firewall
I tried ExpressVPN, Windscribe and hide.me all get denied by my university's firewall even with TCP port 443. But VPN.ac with china settings XOR enabled manages to get through. Very nice piece of software.

Was good before, not any more in UAE
I have been using the service since two years. But for the last 4-5 months, the service was blocked on du operator in UAE, for VOIP it only works with one ISP now - Etisalat. I am no longer able to make VOIP calls (Whatsapp) which worked fine with du + VPNC before. the VOIP however works with Etisalat as ISP on the same phone. I guess they got flagged.
