ExpressVPN Lightway achieved 95.2% in China!

Since the ExpressVPN update on the 18th, I’ve received feedback from several readers that Lightway’s connection success rate has improved considerably across servers, and I’ve felt this way a bit myself in my use. Today I would like to test all servers through the Lightway protocol after the major update to ExpressVPN in Mac to see what kind of server connection success rate it is currently in. This time, I will be mapping out all of its servers again in the default order of ExpressVPN servers. Because of the large number of servers, I will publish the server connection test results directly without speed tests and screenshots of successful connections.

Summary: Today in my Macbook under the Lightway protocol, I tested all the servers with VPN China connections on one side. The test results make me feel like this protocol is flying! Please see below my statistics on the success rate of wall flipping on these servers. In so many available servers, there must be some servers are fast, some servers are slow, which requires you to depend on your location, ISP, equipment, but I believe that as long as you are willing to look, you will be able to find the right server for you. But there is one thing I am still worried about, that is, the Chinese network firewall is bound to continue to upgrade, I do not know if Lightway can maintain such a successful rate of connection over the wall in the long run. I will keep watching it! If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment.
