A complete guide to understanding Virtual Private Networks β what they do, how they work, and why you need one.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a secure tunnel between your device and the internet. It encrypts your traffic, hides your IP address, and routes your connection through a server in another location.
Think of it as a private postal service β instead of sending mail through a public system where anyone can read it, all your data is sealed in an encrypted envelope before it leaves your device.
Your device connects to one of ExpressVPN's 3,000+ servers in 105 countries.
All your internet traffic is encrypted with AES-256 before leaving your device.
Websites see the VPN server's IP β not yours. You appear to be in a different location.
