Security & Privacy Analysis

ExpressVPN is based in Road Town, British Virgin Islands, operating under British Virgin Islands (not in 14 Eyes) jurisdiction. The no-logs policy has been independently audited by Cure53, KPMG.

ExpressVPN uses AES-256-GCM (ChaCha20 on Lightway) encryption with support for Lightway, OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP/IPSec protocols. A kill switch is available on all platforms, cutting your internet connection if the VPN drops to prevent IP leaks.

The no-logs policy means ExpressVPN does not record your IP address, browsing activity, DNS queries, or connection timestamps.
