About this release

ExpressVPN is a tunnel client built around getting out of the way. One large button connects to the location it thinks is best, the list of locations is searchable and grouped by region, and everything else lives behind a settings panel that most people open once. The client handles protocol selection automatically, falling back through the available options when a network blocks one of them, which is the behaviour that matters on restrictive connections.

The protocol set includes a modern lightweight one that gives noticeably better throughput and faster reconnection than the older options, alongside the established protocols for compatibility with networks that treat anything unfamiliar as suspicious. You can pin a specific protocol if you know what a network allows, or leave it automatic and let the client work it out. Connection handover between wired, wireless and mobile happens without dropping the tunnel.

Split tunnelling is per application. You choose which programs go through the tunnel and which do not, as either a list of included applications or a list of excluded ones. That is how you keep a backup client, a game or a work application on the direct connection while a browser stays tunnelled, and it is also how you stop a large transfer from routing through a distant server and halving its speed for no benefit.

The kill switch is on by default and is the setting worth understanding. If the tunnel drops for any reason, network access is blocked entirely until it comes back, rather than quietly falling through to the direct connection. That is the correct behaviour and it is also the reason people occasionally think their connection has broken when the client has actually done exactly what it was told. The client also includes an encrypted resolver so lookups do not travel outside the tunnel.

What you get

  • Large searchable server list grouped by region with a recommended location picker
  • Modern lightweight protocol alongside the established ones for restrictive networks
  • Automatic protocol fallback when a network blocks a connection method
  • Split tunnelling by application as either an include or an exclude list
  • Kill switch that blocks all traffic when the tunnel drops rather than falling through
  • Encrypted resolver so lookups stay inside the tunnel
  • Connection handover between wired, wireless and mobile without dropping
  • Automatic connection on untrusted networks with a trusted list
  • Connection speed test across locations to pick the fastest available
  • Startup connection so the machine is never online outside the tunnel

Changes in this build

  • Reconnection after sleep is faster and more reliable on laptops
  • Split tunnel rules survive application updates that change the executable path
  • Lower processor use during sustained high throughput transfers
  • Location list redesigned with better search and recent locations
  • Protocol fallback is quicker to give up on a blocked method and try the next

Installation

Read the whole list before you start. Most of the reports that come into the desk about this title turn out to be a step taken out of order.

  1. Unpack the archive to a local folder.
  2. Disconnect any other tunnel client first. Two virtual adapters at once cause routing conflicts.
  3. Run the installer as administrator and allow the network adapter driver when prompted.
  4. Close the installer rather than launching from it.
  5. Start the client from the Start menu and connect once to confirm the adapter comes up.
  6. Configure split tunnelling and confirm the kill switch state before you rely on it.

System requirements

ProcessorAny 1 GHz or faster processor
Memory2 GB minimum
Storage300 MB free
NetworkAny connection, wired, wireless or mobile
OtherAdministrator rights required to install the virtual network adapter

Notes from the desk

If the network appears dead after a disconnect, the kill switch is doing its job. Reconnect or disable it deliberately rather than reinstalling anything.

Pick a nearby location for general use. Distance costs latency, and a server on the other side of the world will make everything feel slow.
