Service: ExpressVPN provides a paid OpenVPN with multiple servers in 27 different countries with a PPTP/L2TP account available on request.
Just download the software and you are good to go. It is probably one of the simplest set-ups available. Simple, clean client interface for server selection and option to connect via TCP.
For smartphone and iPad users, it’s very simple to use. For Android, they have an excellent app where you just open it and pick a server. For iPhone and iPad, they have a simple auto-config initial setup that you run from Safari.
ExpressVPN should be ideal for people in China or Middle East. They’re geared to that with West Coast server locations and they work pretty hard to make sure people in those countries have multiple ways to connect reliably and get around ISP and government filters.
There is a 30-day money back guarantee but no trial account.
Privacy: This service keeps server logs of your IPs, email addresses, credit card information and is a US company governed by US law. See their Policy/Terms/FAQ

Our Thoughts: With a decent size network, ExpressVPN provides a good service particularly for those wishing to access sites that may be blocked in their area. Speeds are good across the network. Ease of set-up means the service is ideal for VPN newcomers.

Service great from johor, very good vpn alround
Living in China and always used ExpressVPN. Only now, Nov12-Jan13 there’s lots of problems and i think they’re struggling to keep on top of it here, it always drops out
after few hours use.
Best connection (im in Nanning,Guangxi province) is HONG KONG.
Its fast,reliable, easy 1 click software and youtube downloads fast.
My gripe…there email support is next to useless, waited 5 days twice now..they need an ar$e kicking & fix this,else..recommend.
Works well enough with good speeds and reliable connections. Software very basic compared to some i tried, Very good mobile app
I’ve been using Express VPN for over a year now and its the best service for when I’m traveling – I would totally recommend this and its definitely worth $8.95 per month to access US sites.
Basic easy set-up, works well, no complaints
I have recently sent out a ticket and they have not replied yet, although speed is fast the reliability has gone down with the support. There are a lot of problems for mac but not for windows, so they need to work on that.
Very reliable VPN with good speeds from here in the UK. Not the cheapest VPN for sure but I value reliability and consistency above anything else.
ExpressVPN is great. The best thing about them is their customer service. If I had a problem they would contact me back ASAP. I use it all the time in China and it has only failed me once – when my new company had a crazy IT department with solid firewalls like the FBI or the CIA. Speed’s great, can access youtube and facebook and any other website in China. What more can you ask. Price is a bit more than others (e.g. astral) but i’m happy with it.
Good speeds, good software easy to install, and they seem to cater to people in restrictive countries with a good selection of servers. good mobile app too
Good service. hides my ip and I can watch US film. big price for me but ok and very happy
