Important: If you are located from a country with a high level of internet censorship, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team for immediate assistance. If you are using ExpressVPN manual configurations, we recommend switching to use the ExpressVPN app for optimized performance.

This guide will show you how to resolve slow internet issues when connected to the ExpressVPN app.

Different online use cases require different internet speeds and bandwidths. Generally speaking, web browsing or email requires only 5 to 10 Mbps (Megabits per second). Streaming, online gaming, and downloads require faster internet speeds, depending on the type of streaming and the number of devices connected on the same network.

Online useAcceptable internet speeds
HD (high-definition) streaming, online gaming, downloading, only a few devices on the same network10 to 25 Mbps
Full HD (high-definition) streaming, online gaming, downloading, many devices on the same network25 to 40 Mbps
Ultra HD (high-definition) streaming, online gaming, downloading, a large number of devices on the same network40 and higher Mbps

 

If your internet speed is slow or does not meet your expectations, the reason could be:

  • Your chosen VPN server location is far from your physical location
  • Suboptimal interconnectivity between the VPN and your internet service provider
  • Slow internet connection speed at your location
  • Your internet connection type (wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections)
  • Your device type (e.g., mobile and laptop) and processing power

3. Change your VPN protocol

VPN protocols are the methods by which your device connects to a VPN server.

For the best experience, ExpressVPN recommends using the Automatic protocol option, which is selected by default.

If you are unable to connect to ExpressVPN with the Automatic protocol, try the other protocols in the following order (if available):

  1. Lightway – TCP
  2. Lightway – UDP
  3. OpenVPN – TCP
  4. OpenVPN – UDP
  5. IKEv2
  6. L2TP/IPsec
Important: L2TP/IPSec provides weak security benefits and should only be used for anonymization or for changing locations. ExpressVPN does not recommend using L2TP/IPSec unless absolutely necessary.
