About ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN was founded in 2009 by Peter Burchhardt and Dan Pomerantz. Its legal name is Express Technologies Ltd., and its headquarters are in Road Town, Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. Kape Technologies acquired the ExpressVPN business in 2021; ExpressVPN says it has been part of Kape since then.
The company began as a VPN provider and has since expanded into related privacy, identity-protection and security products. It is known for its consumer VPN apps, a global network of VPN endpoints and TrustedServer, which the company describes as a system that runs servers on RAM rather than persistent hard drives.
What ExpressVPN offers
Consumer VPN
ExpressVPN's consumer VPN apps protect internet connections on supported devices. The service includes security features, with a Dedicated IP available as an add-on. It is intended for personal privacy and secure browsing, rather than hosting websites.
Business VPN
ExpressVPN for Teams provides VPN access for organizations.
Password manager
ExpressKeys stores passwords, passkeys, payment details and notes.
Email privacy
ExpressMailGuard is an email relay service that uses aliases.
Private AI
ExpressAI is a consumer AI service that the company describes as privacy-focused.
Identity protection
Identity Defender includes identity monitoring and data-removal tools. It is available only to U.S. users.
VPN router
Fortify is a router developed with GL.iNet, with ExpressVPN protection built in. GL.iNet is identified by ExpressVPN as the hardware and networking-platform provider.
eSIM and event VPN
ExpressVPN's stated product portfolio also includes Holiday.com eSIM service and EventVPN, which appears in its press materials.
VPN network and support
ExpressVPN reports VPN servers in 113 countries across 214 server locations. These are VPN connection endpoints, not a confirmed inventory of physical data centres. The company describes its TrustedServer system as RAM-based. Support includes 24/7 live chat and email, along with a self-service help centre and setup guides. No phone-support channel was confirmed.
Who should consider ExpressVPN?
ExpressVPN may suit individuals looking for a consumer VPN with apps for a range of devices, or organizations considering a business VPN. Its additional tools may also appeal to people who want related privacy products from one provider.
Look elsewhere if you need conventional web hosting, a confirmed list of physical data-centre facilities or phone support. Identity Defender is not an option for users outside the U.S.
