The latest ExpressVPN app for Windows is our best yet

On top of that, we’ve improved the first-time user experience to make it even easier for everyone to enjoy ExpressVPN.

Good news, too, for our users in France, as the app is now fully localized for French speakers.

Let’s take a look what else is under the hood of the slickest ExpressVPN Windows app to date:

1. Split tunneling

Select which apps will use the VPN and which apps won’t when your computer is connected to ExpressVPN.

What’s so great about a split-tunneling VPN?

A basic VPN routes all your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel to protect your data from hackers and third-party snoops.

But without a VPN with split-tunneling capabilities, you may run into situations where:

• You can’t access foreign and local web services at the same time
• Transmitting all data through the VPN affects the speed of some web services

With split-tunneling VPN, you can:

• Stream foreign videos while using web services from local IP addresses
• Download safely without affecting the speed of other web services

2. Improved activation and connection reliability

ExpressVPN 6.6 for Windows works hard to make sure you always get the best possible connection and activating your subscription is a breeze.

3. Leak protection

The latest ExpressVPN app for Windows comes with even better IPv6 and DNS Leak protection, so you can feel secure while you use the internet the way you want to.

4. Easily view diagnostic information

If you really want to see what’s going on under the hood, or if you ever need help from Support, there’s a new diagnostic info Window that tells you all you need to know.

Announcing v3.416 of ExpressVPN for Windows

New in this version:

1. Better support for Windows 8.1
2. If your connection drops unexpectedly: ExpressVPN will try to reconnect automatically, and network connections outside the VPN tunnel will not be allowed until the connection is successful again. This prevents your computer from accidentally sending unprotected network traffic.
3. Multi-user installs: an admin user can now install ExpressVPN so it’s accessible for all users on a given PC. However, each of those users still needs to have admin rights. ExpressVPN does not currently work for non-admin users.

The upgrade is free for all customers. Simply click the “new version available” link in your ExpressVPN app, or login to our customer dashboard and click the “setup my vpn account” link.

We’re always happy to hear feedback and feature requests. Please write to us if you’d like to discuss anything about our apps or have suggestions for future versions.

Announcing New Version of ExpressVPN for Windows – v3.305

ExpressVPN for Windows 3.305 includes an exciting new feature: automatic protocol selection. We’ve made this the default option for new installs.

ExpressVPN lets you choose between OpenVPN (UDP or TCP), L2TP/IPSec, or SSTP. For most users, OpenVPN over UDP is the fastest and most secure option. It may, however, be blocked, depending on where you are connecting from. The automatic selection feature solves that problem by selecting an alternative protocol without any additional steps.

To manually set the protocol, just click the “Options” button on the app. It is worthwhile to play around with the selection to figure out which protocol works best for you.

ExpressVPN v3.305 also loads much faster than before.

To upgrade just click the “New Version” link in your existing ExpressVPN software.

New Version of ExpressVPN for Windows: v3.112

ExpressVPN version v3.112 is full of new features.

Here are some of the things you’ll notice

-New VPN server recommendations based on where you are located. So depending on where you are connecting from, Los Angeles won’t always default as the first option as it did before.

-To access All server locations instead of just the recommended ones, click the tab marked “All”.

-“Auto connect to best location” button that will choose a location for you automatically

-Now we let you know if your account is expiring and other important messages from within the app. We also provide a direct link to your account page for purchasing new subscriptions, changing your plan, and more.

-If your account has expired and you’d like to activate the app with a new code, you can do that from within the app itself.

Please click the “new version available” link in your existing ExpressVPN Windows app in order to upgrade.

New Version of ExpressVPN for Windows: V3.097

Last week ExpressVPN released version v3.097 of ExpressVPN for Windows. You’ll notice the following improvements:

1. “Most Recently Used” locations. This lets you quickly connect to any of your 3 most recently used locations.
2. Improved visual design of our scrolling location list
3. Under “Options”, there’s a new button “Speed Tests”. This takes a few minutes to run. Our app will measure speeds from your computer to various ExpressVPN locations and report the results securely back to us. This helps us make sure we deliver the best possible speeds to you. If you haven’t already, please run the feature and help us collect more data. Thanks!

To upgrade to this latest version, simply click on the “new version available” link in ExpressVPN for Windows.
