Summary: The above is a test of ExpressVPN in Android (Android phone). The first part of the official recommended 6 servers worked without any problems, and I also randomly checked 61 servers, starting with North America, then Europe, and finally Asia, and found a total of 13 available servers. For ExpressVPN, the 6 officially recommended servers are usually very stable. For Unofficial recommend servers are usually used during peak hours when the network is congested to avoid congestion.

What I find strange about the Android version of ExpressVPN is that there is no IKEv2 protocol, I don’t really understand it. This protocol is available in Macbook, iPhone, and Windows.
