Proven privacy protection
Look beyond marketing claims. Serious providers follow a no-logs policy and use RAM-based servers that don’t write your data to disk. Transparency is shown through independent security audits by reputable third-party firms.
Key ExpressVPN features for Android TV
Fast and secure streaming backed by independently audited technology
Lightway protocol for faster, steadier streaming
ExpressVPN’s proprietary Lightway protocol keeps your shows running reliably and supports quick reconnections if your Wi-Fi changes or drops.
It was built from the ground up with a lightweight, open-source design that helps you get consistent performance and speeds for your viewing experience.
TrustedServer technology for stronger privacy
ExpressVPN stores nothing to a hard drive, and regular independent audits from leading third-party auditing firms verify these claims.
Our TrustedServer technology runs on RAM-only servers, wiping all data every time a server reboots. This means even we can’t access your streaming activity.
Global network built for speed and reliability
Wherever you are, your streams are supported by a service that’s designed to stay fast and consistent. Our network runs on upgraded 40Gbps servers in 105 countries worldwide.
Pick your preferred location and start streaming, or let the Smart location feature choose the best server based on your location and network conditions.
Simple setup, intuitive interface
ExpressVPN's Android TV VPN app makes setup simple. Sign in, approve the connection request, and start streaming within minutes.
Detailed tutorials cover everything from initial setup to advanced features whenever you need them. If you’re a power user, you can also use APK sideloading (recommended only if direct download is not available).
