When choosing a VPN provider it is important to accurately identify what are the key aspects that distinguish a fairly decent service from a very good one. One of these can certainly be if such a provider supports VPN router configuration. If it does, it is good news since it allows you to extend your VPN protection to any other device, even those that do not support VPN services by themselves (like Apple TV or gaming consoles for example). Also, it saves you time since you won’t need to apply any specific settings for the different devices you connect. All you have to do is install the router configuration files and connect the devices to it.
ExpressVPN surely allows this, as it also offers you the chance of purchasing a fully pre-configured VPN router. They already partnered with FlashRouters.com in the past to offer a choice of 8 different ExpressVPN routers, ranging from DD-WRT to Tomato routers allowing OpenVPN and PPTP protocols.
Now they’ve introduced an easy-to-use ExpressVPN app for routers that grants you access to their 130 servers worldwide and unlimited bandwidth with speeds up to 30Mbps. The router app lets you extend your VPN protection to your entire house, even to those devices that don’t support a direct VPN configuration. All you need to do is plug in whatever devices you want to the VPN router and they will be instantly protected (useful for devices like Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV or gaming consoles). It is also designed to offer 4x higher connection success rates than manual router configurations and better protection against DNS and IP leaks. Furthermore, with the ExpressVPN router app your VPN protection is always on, so you don’t need to be constantly connecting/disconnecting from your VPN client.
If you’re wondering that opting for a VPN router results in being a more expensive method than having a standard VPN protection, the truth is you may as well consider it as a granted investment. Especially if you live in a country where content is persistently geo-blocked. A VPN router configuration holds another trick up its sleeve, which is the fact that it only counts as one connection, which is the router itself, so you’ll be able to have all your devices protected for the price of only one with just one configuration.
