4 Most Popular Alternatives to ExpressVPN

We recently wrote an article on the benefits of Express VPN. We rated it as the best VPN of 2019. However, if you aren’t feeling like using Express VPN, there are a few other great options worth considering.

NordVPN

If you’re wondering what VPN to use, this can also be a good answer. It offers more than 5000 servers in 62 countries. The protocols with which it is compatible are: PPTP, L2TP, IPSec.

With this network you will be able to access an unlimited VPN, since there are no restrictions for bandwidth and P2P. It also doesn’t use log files, which is great if you’re looking for total privacy on your data and navigation.

You can use it on any type of device and most major operating systems, including Windows, MacOs, Android, Linux or iOS. It also offers the possibility of obtaining extensions for Chrome and Firefox. Something that seems to me a strength of this VPN against Express VPN, is that you can use up to 6 devices simultaneously.

Plans and Prices

Pros of NordVPN

More than 5000 servers worldwide.

Reliable levels of encryption.

Up to 6 devices connected simultaneously.

Full 30-day money-back guarantee.

It offers different protocols according to the plan. You can use PPTP, OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec to Chameleon, a technology developed by GoldenFrog that allows you to remove navigation blocks. As for servers, it offers more than 700 in almost 70 countries. This allows you to choose from many location options.

It provides applications compatible with Windows, MacOs, Android and iOs. It can be configured for Linux but manually, not through Apps. They do not offer any bandwidth/P2P limitations or generate log files. A benefit to highlight is that this VPN is one of the only ones that has all its own servers. What does this mean? Greater stability and control over its performance.

CyberGhost offers VPN for computers as well as mobile VPN. It is compatible with Window, MacOs, Linux, iOs and Android. As for speed, there are some tests and user reports that indicate that this brand offers lower speed than the leaders, however we have found a good usage performance.

It handles all popular protocols: IKEv2, OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec, PPTP, IPSec. It has approximately 3700 servers in 60 countries, an amount that is very similar to that offered by industry leaders such as ExpressVPN.

A favorable feature of this network is that it allows up to 7 devices to be connected simultaneously. Additionally, it offers a higher refund guarantee than any competitor. If you are not satisfied within 45 days, your money will be refunded. Also noteworthy is the technical service available, via chat or email, 365 days a year, 24 hours.

HideMyAss VPN

If we refer to possible locations, HideMyAss is one of the VPNs with the best offer in the market. It offers 280 locations, in 190 countries, 22 of which speak Spanish, operating on 940 servers. Wide offer, isn’t it?

Speed tests show very good performance. Although it is not as fast as ExpressVPN, it offers a lot of fluidity especially when we talk about videos and streaming. In terms of protocols, operates with OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP and has a web proxy and an email interface, among other tools that you can use without additional installations.

As it is a company located in the United Kingdom, it must register some log files to comply with the official regulations of the country. These include session start and end time, user data, IP and amount of data used. It allows 5 devices to be connected simultaneously and has 24/7 technical support.
