Click here for the latest ExpressVPN software for Windows
The newest ExpressVPN app for Windows is finally available, and it’s just dying to say hello!
We didn’t think we could do it, but we’ve made it even easier for you to browse and connect to any one of ExpressVPN’s 100+ VPN server locations around the world.
While this new update may look different, it’s still the same great app inside. The new and improved interface makes it easier than ever to connect to your favorite VPN server locations.
Yup, you could say this is ExpressVPN’s most easy-to-use app yet!
We’ve added brand-new images to help give our app an updated look. The new padlock icon above makes it easier to tell when you’re connected to a server location, so you won’t have to waste time wondering if your VPN is connected.
ExpressVPN version 5.0 also features the privacy-enhancing Network Lock kill switch, which prevents Internet traffic from flowing outside VPN tunnel. Find out more about the Network Lock kill switch here.
Oh! And Don’t Forget About the Speed Test!
This feature may not be new, but it’s still great. The fan-favorite Speed Test makes it easier for you to connect to the VPN server locations that offer the best speeds. Go ahead and give it a try!
(Not sure how to make sense of the Speed Test results? Read our guide here.)

Version 5.0 is broken Windows 10. I would recommend avoiding it at this point. It incorrectly sets your DNS to 0.0.0.0 which causes DNS not to work at all. Very disappointing bug. The only way to work around it is to manually change the DNS IPs after you connect on the VPN.
Hi Tim, sorry you are having issues with the new app's DNS feature. Please try the steps here to fix the problem: https://blog.expressvpn.com/support/troubleshooting/connect-windows-again/
Thanks for the canned answer but it doesn't address this issue. The problem is the new v5.0 client does not correctly set the DNS servers for the VPN connection itself. It sets them to 0.0.0.0 which does not work obviously. The only work around for this bug is to manually go into your IP settings after the VPN is connected and change 0.0.0.0 to 10.0.1.1 (your ExpressVPN DNS server) or some other DNS server. Version 4.2 did not have this problem. Version 4.2 would automatically set the DNS to 10.0.1.1 once you connected. Please fix this asap. Contact me if you are still unclear about why v5.0 doesn't work properly in Windows 10.

I subscribe to express for a 1 month trial 4 days ago to test your vpn against strong vpn.and found that china is able to disable express. after connecting to express, and within 2-3 hrs and some time within 1/2 hr. I will have no internet access. reconnecting is not possible, have to cancel reconnection, and re start PC again to have internet access. Strong do have some problem which need tech help to retweet their client every month. I like express connection and the ease to change server. However with this problem- Is this issue is not resolve , It looks like I will have to stay with Strong.
