We've tested all the major VPN services and rate ExpressVPN as the best. It's compatible with many devices (for example, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, and PS4) and streaming services, is among the fastest and most secure, and even has a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can test it effectively before you buy. That being said, an annual plan currently offers a 49% discount and an additional three months free, which is much better. And one of the things we like best about ExpressVPN is the extremely helpful 24/7 customer service. If you have any connection problems, they will be available to help you.
