Yesterday ExpressVPN made a series of upgrades to its website and app, using the latest generation of VI. The latest versions of the app also appeared, especially the Windows version, which was updated twice yesterday and today. Today’s task is to test ExpressVPN’s officially recommended method “Auto+6 servers” on Windows, Macbook and IOS. I have also recently launched the [Micro Test] section, so you can check it out, I will keep updating it, and you can leave me any suggestions. If you have any questions in using it, you can read this article “ExpressVPN can’t connect solution (zh)”, all connection methods, problems and solutions are updated in this article.
The daily speed test will help you understand three things:
1. the success rate of the VPN’s server connection in the device under test.
2. the server connection time of the VPN in the tested device.
3. the speed of the VPN after a successful connection to the server in the device under test.
Barry: I’ve been hoping to relay a message to all readers: the firewall will always exist in the foreseeable future; with this wall in place, the use of any VPN or other tool by users within China is a dynamic process, and there is no one-and-done approach. That’s why I insist on updating the [Daily Test] column. The purpose of the test is to tell you the real situation of the current usage of the modified VPN, whether it is available or not, I will tell you the truth.

There are roughly three more severe lockdown periods in a year, in March, June and October. Occasionally, it happens occasionally.

During the blocking period, most VPNs only experienced some server failures and a slight slowdown. But this lockdown I feel worse than before...

Summary: Today Tested ExpressVPN Official recommend Method (Automatic + six servers) in Windows10 Macbook and iPhone. Because I have not Android Device, so can’t test Android. This is the first full test of ExpressVPN since the major update, and the results show that the server connection and the speed of the wall after connection are very good. This is a very good start for 2021.
In addition to the officially recommended connection method (Automatic + 6 servers), you can also connect using IKEv2 protocol, Lightway, and L2TP/IPsec in the [Micro test] test. You can learn more about ExpressVPN through [ExpressVPN Daily Test] and [ExpressVPN Unable to Connect Solution (zh)].
