What the Community Says
ExpressVPN comes up a lot as a “just works” VPN: people like that it’s easy to use, connects quickly, and stays stable without much fiddling. It’s often praised for feeling fast in day-to-day browsing and for helping with streaming by letting you switch your location to watch shows from other countries. If you want something straightforward on phones (including iOS) and don’t want to babysit your connection, it tends to fit that vibe.
The biggest downside people bring up is the price—many feel it’s expensive compared to other options, even if the reliability is good. There’s also ongoing skepticism about trust and ownership, with some pointing to past controversies and corporate ties as reasons to be cautious if privacy is your top priority. And if you specifically need a VPN for China, plenty of people say it’s unreliable there or doesn’t work consistently, so it’s not the safest bet for the Great Firewall.
