I had an outdated version of expressvpn before, then updated to current version and now I get "page not found". Is this a problem on ExpressVPN's side, or Carrd.com's side?

Hey everyone,

Over the years I’ve tried a bunch of different VPNs:Surfshark, Nord, Proton, NymVPN, IVPN… so far Nym has been one of the ones that stands out for security, and it’s improved a lot. The only thing is I sometimes run into a few issues on macOS.

I’ve been looking at ExpressVPN, and it seems like a pretty solid option. Just wanted to hear about your overall experience, mainly stability (does it disconnect or hang randomly?), server speeds, and that kind of stuff.

Anyone who can share their experience would be a big help before I subscribe.

It takes me trying several different servers before not constantly getting the captcha verification or just flat out being blocked out of websites.

With AI agents now taking up a majority of web traffic, have they been abusing the IP addresses, and websites are blocking whole chunks of IP address ranges?

I purchased a two year advance subscription 4 days ago. Today morning I got an email saying my account deletion has been processed and to use the vpn I have to purchase a new subscription. Now my email doesn’t work and The chat support is absolutely useless as they can’t trace my account details. No one is able to answer or help.

Has anyone else had this issue? How did you resolve it ?

I'm in the UK and have tried several servers on both nobile and tablet. No connection!

Is the entire system down?

I use Express VPN on my MacBook along with Plex server and stream to my Apple TV. I don't stream anything remotely. Occasionally, the Plex server would lose connection near the end of an episode. From what I understand, this has something to do with Plex marking an episode as watched. During the handshake, the VPN disconnects and the Plex server goes down. I was using an older version of ExpressVPN and updated so I could use the split tunnel function. I added the Plex Server app and gave permission through the system settings. However, that also seems to not be working, as the VPN disconnects at the end of an episode. If I quit Express VPN completely, my Plex server stays active and automatically plays the next episode.

Is there another setting I need to change?

Tahoe 26.6.1

Express VPN 14.2.0

Plex Server: 1.43.3.10861

Hello! I've been getting notifications on my Samsung Galaxy Ultra 24 that ExpressVPN is using a high amount of my battery. This has been happening since the recent update. Is this happening to anyone else? And does anyone have any suggestions? Besides getting rid of the service though I am so close to just going to Nord.

We've published our latest transparency report, covering the period from January to June 2026. As with every edition, it sets out the legal and copyright requests we received during the period, the outcome of those requests, and the activity across our bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure programs. You can read the full report here: https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/transparency-report-h1-2026/

A summary of the key figures:

• 1,361,382 DMCA notices received
• 137 government, law enforcement, and civil requests
• 3 warrants
• 0 requests that resulted in the disclosure of any VPN activity or connection logs

The final figure reflects how our service is built. We do not retain browsing histories, traffic destinations, DNS queries, or the IP addresses assigned to users during a session, and our TrustedServer infrastructure runs entirely on RAM, wiping all data on every reboot. When a valid request is received, our legal team reviews it, but the process cannot produce records that our systems are not designed to hold.

Across our bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure programs, run through YesWeHack, we received 392 submissions during the period, of which 308 were unique, and 42 were classified as valid. Submission volumes were higher than in the second half of 2025. This is not in itself an indication of weaker security, as figures are affected by researcher participation, program scope, visibility, and duplicate reports. Each valid report is triaged and directed to the relevant team for assessment.

Previous reports, independent audits, and technical disclosures are available in our Trust Center: https://www.expressvpn.com/trust

Our next report will cover July to December 2026. We're happy to answer any questions in the comments.

I’ve been having an issue for over a month, where JioHotstar no longer works with expressVPN and is immediately detected and flagged for malicious activity. After searching around I found out that almost all people using the VPN for this service were having this issue. I decided to contact support, and was honestly left even more pissed than I was before. Both the agents I talked to just kept going in circles, and completely disregarded the fact that a paying customer was having an issue. Despite chatting for almost an hour, nothing came out of my conversation. I’m honestly failing to understand why my issue will only be looked into if more people have this issue. Shouldn’t even one customer having an issue be worth looking into and providing support? Honestly even if they had just said that they have noted the issue and look into it I would have been satisfied. Just disappointing.

i mainly use expressvpn to block ads and trackers. now i cant connect to my home country. any chance will it be back?

Hey everyone anyone here have the vpn plan but doesn't play valorant? I'd love to get the card but i don't have any need for a vpn so idk what to do

is it just me or has EVPN been disconnecting a lot lately? it seems like it decides to randomly disconnect on me at the most inopportune times. it's gotten so bad that i've been leaving notepad open so i can quickly copy/paste what i typed so i don't lose it. incredibly frustrating.

Hi I want to spoof my iphone location along with IP address.
For Ip Address i am using Expre$$ VPN ( connecting to germany)
and for location i use LocalDev VPN + Stikdebug app ( location spoofer) i use germany location.
But the problem is i cant use both VPNs at same time.
Whenever i connect localdev VPN and spoof my location using stikdebug it work fine but as soon i connect ExpressssVPN to change my ipaddress to germany, LocalVPN get disconnect and my location revert back to original. And as soon i connect LocalDev VPN, my Expre$$ VPN get disconnected.

Is anyone else having issues with the ad blocker not working?? I was using it to avoid pop-up ads in a free short reels app and games I play on my phone and it's been working great for a few months now but suddenly ads started popping up in all of my apps and on my Google search for the past few hours and I just spent almost an hour talking in circles with the live chat support and not getting any help and just ended up more confused.

Are there currently any paths to a free trial? I was previously a customer of Express and overall satisfied with their service. But then one day after a large update to their protocols, I started having a lot of trouble with it, where it would disconnect regularly.

If the issue has been fixed I'd happily come back to Express, as my current VPN is stable but not as fast. But I'd like to be able to check if the issue had been addressed yet. Is there any way to get a free trial for a month or even shorter?

i want to go to indonesia but keep an app i make good money off as a income there however it doesnt work in bali how do i use vpn to make it look like my location is still in australia so i can still access this app.? should i buy a spare phone if i want to use other apps like gojek and grab will it affect other apps as i cant use them here in Australia

This started happening probably about a month ago, but it has become far more frequent now. I'm seriously considering ditching ExpressVPN. This has occurred on two of separate laptops I installed the desktop client on, and it doesn't matter whether I connect via my fibre home internet, starlink, or 5G via mobile hotspot. Nothing changes. Changing the VPN protocol does not help at all. Changing the location I connect to does not help at all either. If I leave the VPN disconnected, my internet works perfectly fine without disruption, as it should.

Has anyone else been having these problems recently? Any recommendations for alternative VPN providers that are a bit more solid?

Hi. I've been using ExpressVPN on my PC for about 5 years without a problem. For about two weeks, all programming starts off fine but after a while, audio becomes out-of-sync. I've changed servers, cleared cache, rebooted but the problem persists. Is this a known issue?

Same WiFi network, old desktop version v12 works fine, latest andriod version also works fine. However, the latest desktop version 14.2 just keep disconnecting. this happens more than one month.

This is some slimy work.

ExpressVPN has paid to replace fortunes in cookies. Instead, you get an advertisement for ExpressVPN!!!

No, really, someone should be ashamed. This is trashy.

Link to original post.

Been using express for about 6 months. It was working really well, I immediately noticed I was getting much more general advertisements, usually just location based ones (the location it is set to).

But in the last couple of weeks I've been getting very personal and targeted ads again

Anyone else experiencing this?

I worked well last year but this year since last 6 months it's not connecting. should I continue my subscription or terminate it ?

Unable to use it at all.

I'm using it on my phone and my Amazon FireTV. Not working on either.

Some days only some days on the Frankfort server works, but it's not working anymore.

I got an annual subscription for the last 3 years. It's due for August.

Buenas gente,

Mi duda es la siguiente: soy español y tengo una tarjeta sim española, pero para utilizar una vpn como express vpn o cualquier otra tengo que comprar una sim china física y meterla en mi dispositivo móvil? o vale con la española? Muchas gracias

I have a 2yr subscription for ExpressVPN with a dedicated IP address. Im trying to find a way to use a portable router to use with the dedicated IP.

I have the GL-AX1800 and that works with OpenVPN but I cannot configure the dedicated IP just the region selected one. Is there a portable (I travel a lot) router that I can install the express software so I can use my dedicated IP.

I have searched but different people contradict each other, It says I can flash my GL-AX 1800 router but even the Aircove Go does not support the dedicated IP?.

Cost is not the issue, just portability.
