Your privacy isn’t just a slogan
Your privacy is why we exist. We do not monitor, record, or sell your online activity and personal data when you use our Android VPN.
Our TrustedServer technology runs on RAM-only servers that wipe all session data with each reboot, like deleting files and clearing the recycle bin.
Leading firms like Cure53 regularly audit these systems to ensure they align with our no-logs policy. Your privacy is not just a promise, it’s transparent and verified.
What you get with ExpressVPN’s Android app
-
Protect yourself on public Wi-Fi
When you’re on public Wi-Fi, checking email or logging into your bank, you're putting your data at risk. The bad guys exploit weak security of public Wi-Fi and networks. ExpressVPN encrypts your connection, turning outgoing traffic into unreadable code, so no one can see your activity or personal info.
-
Your online activity is your business only
You need a warrant to tap a phone, but your ISP can see everything you do online? They can also slow certain types of traffic, like streaming or gaming, that use too much bandwidth. ExpressVPN makes it so they see you're using a VPN, but not what you're actually doing, and hides your IP address. What you do is your business, not theirs.
-
Access accounts and local content from anywhere
ExpressVPN has servers in 214 locations across 113 countries, so whether you’re home or traveling, you can access your accounts, subscriptions, and favorite entertainment. This helps when you need to access accounts with strict verification, or want to watch your shows but are outside your region.
-
Even more data protection
If your connection drops due to bad Wi-Fi or network switching, the encrypted tunnel “falls out”, leaving your data wide open. But our Internet Kill Switch pauses all internet traffic on your Android device until the tunnel is back up. Plus, it covers IPv4, IPv6, and DNS requests simultaneously (protecting you from potential DNS leaks). Your activity stays protected during connection outages.
-
Split tunneling: Choose which apps use the VPN
Want to view content or connect to an app from somewhere else but need your banking app to be connected from your current location? Split tunneling lets you choose which apps use the VPN and which use your local connection. Get privacy where you need it, while other apps run normally without affecting connection speeds or functionality.
-
Dedicated IP option for consistent connectivity
If you use apps, have subscriptions, or work remotely, with logins that require a consistent IP address, ExpressVPN provides a dedicated IP that’s exclusively yours. Not even ExpressVPN can trace it back to you. No more jumping through hoops to log in, or getting locked out. It’s included with the Pro plan or available as an add-on.

Block ads and trackers
Have you noticed how the ads you see are from sites you’ve been to, or are closely related to your individual interests? That’s advertisers using your data to track and target you online and in your apps.
ExpressVPN comes with an ad blocker, stopping most display ads from showing up across your apps and browser. Our advanced protection features block known malicious trackers and domains, both in-browser and in apps.
Designed with your phone in mind
ExpressVPN’s Android VPN app isn’t just a mobile version of our desktop app. It’s made for your phone. We considered battery drain, network switching, and sudden drops.
Our proprietary Lightway protocol is more efficient than older VPN protocols, so the app consumes less processing power and battery life. When you switch networks or lose signal, Lightway also reconnects fast so your protection picks back up with minimal disruption.
No more restrictive networks
Some networks restrict your VPN activity via firewall blocks, which can make some VPN options for Android ineffective. ExpressVPN uses automatic obfuscation on all servers, disguising VPN traffic as regular HTTPS web traffic.
This makes it much harder for networks to flag and block your VPN traffic. Your ExpressVPN connection on Android is more likely to work well in environments where other VPNs get blocked.
Cross-device coverage and 24/7 live chat support
Android has a native VPN, but it doesn’t work on its own. You still have to supply your own server address and logins, or credentials from a corporate or school network, and it does not provide free servers to browse the web anonymously.
With ExpressVPN, you can protect up to 14 devices at the same time with one subscription. Not just Android devices, but Windows, Mac and iOS, smart TVs, Linux, a Chrome extension, and others. And if you need help with any of them, have 24/7 human support over live chat.
But don’t take our word for it…

A Premium Service Worth Every Penny
I don’t think that there are many VPN services out on the market today that rival ExpressVPN. Its combination of excellent speeds, ability to unblock every streaming service, and dedication to user privacy hits all of the right notes.

The fastest VPN
ExpressVPN is the fastest VPN I’ve found. It shows you the fastest server you can connect to, and a list of alternative servers. Or, you can let it choose for you. It’s affordable and worth it.

FAQ
Do I need a VPN if I only use mobile data?
Yes. On mobile data, your carrier can still see traffic patterns and apply content-based throttling. A VPN encrypts your traffic, making your activity harder to inspect and helping you avoid content-based caps across both Wi-Fi and mobile networks.
How does a VPN hide my data from my ISP?
A VPN hides your data by encrypting your traffic before it leaves your phone, making it harder for your ISP to inspect what you do online. ExpressVPN uses 256-bit AES encryption, so your ISP can see you're using a VPN but can't see your specific activity.
Can I use ExpressVPN on Android TV and tablets?
Yes. ExpressVPN works across Android phones, tablets, and Android TV, so one subscription covers more than a single screen. A single subscription protects up to 14 devices simultaneously, depending on tier, which is one reason many users see it as the best VPN for Android.
Is it safe to use a VPN for mobile banking?
Yes, especially on public Wi-Fi, where snooping and interception are bigger risks. ExpressVPN puts your banking data inside an encrypted tunnel, giving you a safer way to handle sensitive activity on an Android phone.
