Why use a VPN router
1. Enjoy 24/7 VPN
Save time with always-on protection. With the ExpressVPN router app, you'll never have to remember to connect. Any device connected to Wi-Fi is protected, and our Network Lock kill switch ensures security even if your VPN connection drops.
2. Covers all devices
Phones, computers, even smart refrigerators and doorbells—any device that connects to your router reaps all the benefits of a VPN, even ones that can’t normally run VPN software. Securing all your devices is that easy.
3. Unlimited connections
Your VPN router counts as one out of the eight devices that you can connect to ExpressVPN simultaneously on a single subscription, and there’s no limit to the number of devices connected to the VPN router!
4. Optimized for speed
The ExpressVPN router app runs Lightway, our next-generation VPN protocol that gives you a faster, more reliable, and more secure VPN experience.
5. Easy to use
Say goodbye to confusing settings—just click to connect. Want certain devices excluded from the VPN? No problem. Split tunneling gives you complete control.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a special router for VPN?
Not every router can be turned into a VPN router, but many can. If your specific router model isn’t supported, you can still use ExpressVPN by installing apps on each of your devices.
Do I really need a VPN router?
Having a VPN directly on your router means you don’t need to install a VPN on each device you own. Just connect each device to the router, and they’re protected automatically.
There are a few ways to enjoy the benefits of a VPN router:

How do you know if your router supports VPN?
There are a few ways to know if your router supports VPN configurations.
Check the router's manual or specifications: The router's manual should list any VPN protocols the router supports. If you don't have the manual, you can usually find it online by searching for the router's model number.
Look for the VPN client settings: If your router supports VPN, it will have a VPN client settings page in its configuration. This page will allow you to configure the VPN settings, such as the VPN server address and the VPN protocol.
You can also simply ask your router maker’s customer support or your VPN provider.
People love ExpressVPN for routers
It is just straightforward. Compared to third-party firmware like DD-WRT, it’s just easy to set up, even for amateurs.
I got it preconfigured. It was plug-and-play. The interface is amazingly simple compared to setting up a router manually. I tried to help a neighbor set up their VPN with a different provider, very complicated and unsuccessful.
A very convenient router interface and a huge bonus for me is that it has its own firmware without any complicated settings. That is why I use your product, which for me has no competitors.
