## Kitsmith's take

Consistently rated among the fastest VPNs in independent speed tests — the tradeoff is price, which sits above NordVPN and Surfshark at every tier. The Mac app is deliberately minimal: one big connect button rather than a server-browsing interface, which suits people who don’t want to think about VPN settings.

## Features

- **Lightway protocol:** Uses ExpressVPN’s own Lightway protocol, built for speed and quick reconnects.
- **105-country server network:** Servers across 105 countries with unlimited bandwidth.
- **One-tap connect:** A deliberately minimal Mac app — connect to the fastest available server in one tap rather than browsing a server list.
