För att använda våra appar och konfigurationer behöver du först skaffa ett ExpressVPN-konto.

ExpressVPN has released a new app and website interface. If the images you see below do not reflect the latest app or website interface, note that the instructions still apply unless otherwise specified.

This article will show you how to set up ExpressVPN on ASUSTOR, using the OpenVPN protocol.

Important: The OpenVPN manual configuration does not offer the same security and privacy benefits as the ExpressVPN app. If your router does not support AES-NI (e.g., Asus RT-AC86U), you may experience occasional speed issues while using the OpenVPN manual configuration. If you are located in a country with a high level of internet censorship, you are recommended to use the ExpressVPN app for a more stable VPN connection.

You’ll need a fully set up ASUSTOR device and an ExpressVPN subscription. To begin:
