Gaming with ExpressVPN lowers ping, minimizes lag, and enhances connectivity.
Here’s how.
Ping, or latency, is the response time it takes for data to be sent from your device to a server and back again.
It’s measured in milliseconds, so the lower the ping, the faster the connection.
Using a VPN can help to lower your ping by connecting to a VPN server closer to the gaming server.
But that’s not all!
Gaming with a VPN also provides:
Powerful protection.
Masking your IP address helps to avoid DDoS attacks. ExpressVPN features strong encryption, leak protection, a kill switch, and split tunneling.
Boost connectivity.
Our global network of high-speed 10 gigabits per second servers ensures your latency is optimized for gaming.
Protection against throttling.
Prevent your ISP from slowing your speeds. With a VPN, data can’t be inspected, so your bandwidth won’t be throttled.
Access to more content.
Get the latest DLC and games from early launch date countries—even if they’re censored where you are.
Gaming without borders.
No matter where you are around the world, simply change your region and play together with your friends.
Enhanced cloud gaming.
Stream cloud gaming games at top speeds with minimal lag, no matter what platform you’re on.
Support for all your devices.
Whether you prefer to play on a PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, tablet, or phone, there’s an option for you.
For devices that do not allow for the installation of VPN software, our router app has you covered.
Any device that’s connected to your Wi-Fi will automatically receive full VPN benefits.
In the market for a new router? We’ve developed Aircove: the industry’s first and only Wi-Fi router with built-in VPN protection.
