We are excited to share multiple updates and improvements to our client applications! Do see the sections below for details and as always, we look forward to your submissions of security findings through BugCrowd!

[RELEASE] ExpressVPN for Router 4.1.0

• We have implemented and improved the following features:
  • A connection helper to assist you in getting online faster.
  • Support for static WAN IP addresses that some ISPs require.
  • Support for custom DNS when the VPN is disconnected. This prevents your ISP from observing DNS activity.
  • Hints to help you set static LAN device IP addresses.
  • Improved connectivity for some countries.
  • Fixed a bug that might have kept you from activating ExpressVPN in rare circumstances.
  • Added an advanced setting that lets you change the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size for internet service providers that might require it.
  • Fixed some bugs and improved connectivity for some countries.
  • Fixed some text that may have overlapped in your app interface if you were using Safari.
  • Reduced from two to one the number of clicks it takes to edit your device settings.
  • Renamed the “Forget Device” button to “Reset Device Settings” so that it’s clearer what this button does.
  • More clearly signposted how to find your ExpressVPN activation code.
  • Fixed some pesky UI bugs.
  • Made security improvements.
  • Added a QR code shortcut so that you can share Wi-Fi fast and easily.
  • Added a new guide when it’s the first time you’re setting up the router.
  • Improved the animation and progress bar for installation updates so it’s clearer for you.
  • Improved dashboard navigation via keyboard so that it’s faster and more reliable.
  • Refined the message displayed when you lose connection to the router, for better clarity.

[RELEASE] ExpressVPN for iOS 11.72.0

• We’ve implemented a new security improvement. When you’re swiping between apps in the iOS App Switcher, a security screen is displayed over the ExpressVPN app. This hides any sensitive information displayed on the app, such as passwords and usernames stored with ExpressVPN Keys. It’s an extra layer of physical protection while you’re out and about in public.
• We fixed a bug that may have caused your app to crash when you disconnected from the VPN.

[RELEASE] ExpressVPN for Android 10.65.2

• We’ve cleaned out the gutters and pulled up some weeds to keep our app in top form for you.

• Fixes a crash that some users were experiencing with Keys.

[RELEASE] ExpressVPN for Linux 3.37.0

• Just some minor tweaks that our perfectionist engineers insisted on.

[RELEASE] ExpressVPN for Windows 10.37.0

• We’ve done a few nips and tucks to keep our app in top form for you.
• We’ve implemented a few minor tweaks in the app that are too small to notice.

• Fixed a bug that might have prevented you from uninstalling.
• Resolved an “unable to connect” error that might have appeared after waking your device.
