Likelihood to Recommend	ExpressVPN I leave it connected all the time, whether I am browsing or not. It is a safety switch that needs to be engaged constantly to protect my computer from anyone or any organization wishing to gather data on my activity. My research suggested that a VPN may slow my search speed, but I have not found that to be the case. In fact, I can not even tell the difference in search speed when I am connected to the VPN or disconnected.

Pros	ExpressVPN ExpressVPN was easy to install, and simple to connect to a VPN network. ExpressVPN is available for multiple platforms and multiple browsers. The price is reasonable for the added level of security it provides.

Cons	ExpressVPN I would like the disconnect to be instantaneous. It is not. Incentivized MN Mike Nugent Quality Manager Read full review	Open Source Some kind of access control, although I know this is out of scope of the tool Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	ExpressVPN I took a look at NordVPN, but the ratings for ExpressVPN were higher. More servers and faster transfer times made it a simple decision. I am glad I made the right choice. Incentivized MN Mike Nugent Quality Manager Read full review	Open Source OpenVPN its a well known solution but it pales compared to WireGuard in terms of perfomance, speed and easey implementation. Also it required less resources. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	ExpressVPN My customers are happy that I am using every security measure available. Increased sales. Productivity has not decreased, while security level has increased. The initial cost was reasonable. Incentivized MN Mike Nugent Quality Manager Read full review	Open Source Reliability Resilience Peace of mind Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
