Key ExpressVPN features for Android TV

Fast and secure streaming backed by independently audited technology


Fast And Reliable@2x 40

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.


Trusted Server Technology@2x 34

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.

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.
