5 new features and service upgrades

ExpressVPN services are relied upon by millions of users everyday and true to their promise, they help them take control of their internet experience, whether it’s to access their favorite content or to secure their online activities from snoops. AS part of that commitment, ExpressVPN is sharing info on their feature-packed update that we think you are going to love—and at no extra cost. It includes even more ways for you to protect yourself online with a single app and subscription. Here are the exciting new tools and feature upgrades:

 

• 1. Hide intrusive display ads when browsing the web
  
  The average person is exposed to hundreds of ads a day, and our new ad blocker can help minimize that. Not only are they annoying and likely of no interest to you, but ads also slow down web pages and consume your data as they load. Our new feature filters out most display ads and stops them from loading and appearing on your browser. 
  
  We recommend using the new ad blocker together with other advanced protection features, such as Threat Manager, to not only keep you from seeing some ads but also block the trackers that third parties like advertisers may use to spy on you.
  
  
• 2. Block access to explicit content
  
  Have more control over your digital well-being with our new adult-site blocker. This new feature is an extension of our other advanced protection features that use open-source blocklists for blocking ads, trackers, malicious sites, and adult sites. We regularly review and update these blocklists so that you can stay protected against the latest threats.
  
  To enable these new features, go to Options > Settings > Advanced Protection, then turn on the toggles. 
  
  The new ad blocker and adult-site blocker are available from today on ExpressVPN’s apps for Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, and Linux. Read how our client-side blocking offers superior safety.
  
  
• 3. VPN servers in 105 countries
  
  In response to your feedback, we’ve expanded our server network from 94 to 105 countries. This means you have access to an even more diverse range of IP addresses and a wider selection of servers to meet your location-related needs. 
  
  Here’s the list of new server locations:
   
  • Bermuda
    
  • Cayman Islands
    
  • Cuba
    
  • Dominican Republic
    
  • Ghana
    
  • Guam
    
  • Honduras
    
  • Jamaica
    
  • Lebanon
    
  • Morocco
    
  • Puerto Rico
    
  • Trinidad and Tobago
    
  
  All of the new locations use our modern 10-Gbps servers, so you can expect fast speeds and reliable connections.
  
  
• 4. Connect 8 devices simultaneously
  
  We’re updating our multiple-device policy to allow eight simultaneous connections per subscription—up from five simultaneous connections previously. 
  
  We understand that the average modern user now owns more connected devices, and this new policy will help ensure that you can continue to enjoy the benefits of ExpressVPN across every device you own. You are encouraged to install ExpressVPN on as many devices as you wish; there’s no limit to installations, only to the number of devices you can connect to the VPN at the same time.
  
  Those who wish to use ExpressVPN on more than eight devices at a time may consider purchasing Aircove, our award-winning router with built-in ExpressVPN functionality. Aircove protects every device in your home right from the source—even those that may not be able to install ExpressVPN apps, like your smart home devices, voice assistants, and gaming consoles.
  
  
• 5. Auto-updates for the latest features and security enhancements
  
  The ExpressVPN desktop apps now come with automatic updates by default. This means that after updating to the latest versions of your desktop apps, you will no longer have to manually update your apps to enjoy the latest features and security enhancements in the future. 
  
  Auto-updates are particularly useful for users who are located in countries with internet restrictions and may not always have easy access to the ExpressVPN site to perform manual updates of their apps. With this new feature, the apps will automatically update when a new version is available, ensuring that all users can always stay digitally connected and protected.

ShuffleIP : IP changes for every site

When you connect to ExpressVPN, your device is assigned a different IP address—one owned by ExpressVPN and shared by numerous users. This change of IP address increases your anonymity: If someone looks up the IP, it will only show that it belongs to us. At the same time, this new IP can make you appear to be in a different country.

We’ve gone a step further and designed our VPN so that in most cases, the IP address assigned to you changes for every web server or website you access, without you having to change your server location. We call this feature ShuffleIP. 
 

• A different IP for every website
  
  Most of our VPN servers have a pool of a few dozen IPs, known as a swarm, rather than just one IP address. When you’re using ExpressVPN, each time you initiate an outgoing connection to a web server or website, the system randomly assigns an IP from this pool. So even though you haven’t changed your ExpressVPN location, your IP changes for every site you visit. 
  
  This makes it exceedingly difficult for any observer, even those with access to the user’s device, to track and link the user’s activities to specific remote servers or build a profile based on the user’s browsing habits.
  
  To test this IP assigning process, you may search for “what is my ip” in a search engine. Visit a few different websites in the search results, and you’ll see that each service shows you a different IP address (but the same location). Note that not all of our servers have an IP pool, including for our virtual locations, which use one IP each.
  
  In addition to using different IPs for different websites, IP changes occur frequently on mobile devices, on which connections are often broken and recreated. On mobile devices, when your app is in the background for more than a few seconds, the operating system will likely disconnect the app and shut down the connection. When you next open the app, it will create a new connection, which means it will have a new IP, complicating any form of traffic analysis.
  
  To be clear, even when you’re only receiving one IP address from ExpressVPN (such as for server locations where ShuffleIP is not available), your privacy is protected with strong encryption and the anonymity of using an IP from us that’s shared by many people at a time. Our no-logs policy also ensures your online activity and VPN connections are never recorded by us. But we’re always striving for greater privacy—and indeed a dynamically assigned IP is one of many ways to achieve it.
  
  
  
• Superior dynamic IP assigning method
  
  While we aren’t the only VPN offering dynamically changing IP addresses, we dare say that ours is more protective. The traditional method for VPNs is to assign a single IP address to all traffic on a device, then switch the IP every few minutes. This creates identifiable patterns that might make it possible for an observer to recognize that behavior is originating with the same person. In fact, this type of telltale IP switching creates even more risk than maintaining the same IP continuously, as the continuous IP address would still be shared with multiple VPN users and thus hard to associate with a single person.
  
  In contrast, ShuffleIP’s approach is more dynamic and unpredictable. Each outgoing connection to a web server or website is assigned a different IP from the swarm, ensuring that even if the same IP address is reused during a session, the overall anonymity is significantly enhanced. 
  
  Some VPNs experience interrupted connections during an IP change. We’ve optimized our system to ensure that web traffic is seamlessly handled. While each connection to a web server or website is assigned a different IP, the session itself remains stable. Users do not experience disruptions in their ongoing activities, such as streaming or online transactions. 
  
  The ShuffleIP feature is designed for web traffic, which constitutes the vast majority of network traffic. Web traffic is highly adapted to this sort of IP management, making it the ideal candidate for dynamic IP assignment. While the majority of user activities benefit from enhanced privacy, the stability and performance of other types of traffic, such as gaming or VoIP (although often those too use web protocols and would be likewise protected), is maintained.
  
  ShuffleIP is a component of how our VPN service works; it does not cost extra for users.

As an enthusiastic member of this forum, I'm eagerly waiting for the next ExpressVPN giveaway. I hope we see it here again soon! rendom9.wordpress.com

[divinenews]

I consider ExpressVPN the best VPN ever built for my use to connect to the places I surf. I love its speed, military grade encryption, and advanced features. I find it extremely user friendly. I hope ExpressVPN will sponsor a contest on this forum soon.

ExpressVPN remains my all time favorite VPN. It practically made me uninstall all the other VPN software from my PC. Never ever disappointed me nor exposed my real identify when wanted to remain anonymous.

ExpressVPN publishes its latest transparency report

ExpressVPN has published their latest biannual transparency report, now available on their Trust Center page.

This report shares information on user data requests received by their legal department over the first six months of 2024, as part of their ongoing commitment to openness and accountability. 

While we frequently receive inquiries over user data, our no-logs policy ensures we have no information to share. We do not and never will keep logs of your online activities or personal information, including your browsing history, traffic destination or metadata, DNS queries, or any IP addresses you are assigned when you connect to our VPN.

We can never provide this customer data because it simply does not exist. Our no-logs policy and practices have been extensively vetted by third-party experts—including a new assessment by KPMG LLP. This brings us to a total of 18 published third-party audit reports, more than anyone else in the VPN industry.

This latest transparency report builds on our other industry-leading efforts to build trust among our users, including a white paper detailing our Keys password manager’s entire security design, our launch of the VPN Trust Initiative, our bug bounty program, and more.

You can find the report, covering January 2024 to June 2024, HERE.
