Presenting ExpressVPN 5.0 for Mac, with a beautiful new look

New Year, New Look

We’re thrilled to unveil our handsomest app to date!

Nothing’s changed under the hood, but we felt it was time to give our app a facelift.

Here’s a message from the brains behind the new design, our UX designer, Jenny:

One of our goals was to make the app simpler. We wanted to draw attention to how the app secures your Internet connection. So when you’re not connected to the app, the icon is an open padlock, but when you’re connected, the padlock is closed. We hope you all like the new design!

Try Out the Speed Test

Although the Speed Test feature isn't new, we encourage you to try it if you haven't yet. The Speed Test lets you know which server location will give you the fastest speeds.
