ExpressVPN is one of the best VPN services we've ever tested, but while the fact that users can only connect up to five devices at once is limiting, it provides apps and configurations for a range of different platforms.
The ability to connect different types and makes of devices is important for a VPN service because most people own and use a multitude of gadgets, whether it's a smartphone, tablet, laptop, streaming box, or games console. And having a premium VPN has benefits for all these technologies, from being able to access content that isn't available in your region to adding an extra layer of privacy to your device.
So, the short answer is that ExpressVPN supports a wide range of devices. Like any premium VPN provider, ExpressVPN can be used on laptops, desktop computers, tablet PCs, smartphones, wireless routers, and streaming devices from a range of different manufacturers and operating systems.
ExpressVPN has more servers in more countries to help you tap into any information you need while keeping your online activity secure and private.

Generally speaking, it's pretty easy to install and use ExpressVPN. You just need to sign up for a subscription, install the VPN app and follow the setup instructions within the individual app. However, if you get stuck, there are plenty of guides available on the support section of ExpressVPN website.
