Alternatively, you can set up manual L2TP connections with ExpressVPN on iOS. To do this, go to the set up page for iOS using Safari (not Chrome or other browsers), and then open the link that says 'complete the ExpressVPN manual setup for iOS' in the blue box in step 1. This tutorial will show you how to set up a VPN on your Synology using L2TP/IPsec or PPTP. Before setting up ExpressVPN for your Synology, you will need to set up your Synology and turn off IPv6. Important: L2TP/IPsec provides weak security benefits, while PPTP provides no security benefits.

This tutorial will show you how to set up ExpressVPN manually on your Mac OS X using the L2TP/IPsec protocol.

In today's tutorial I am going to show you how to connect to ExpressVPN using manual OpenVPN configuration files with third party OpenVPN clients for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

This can be very useful if you are using ExpressVPN in China because the manual OpenVPN server IP addresses are different from the ones used in the apps. If the server IPs used in the apps get blocked by the Great Firewall, the manual OpenVPN server in the same location will often still work.

Even if you are not in China, some people still prefer to use manual OpenVPN connections because the client software is open source.

How to setup manual OpenVPN on Windows

Step 1 - Download the client

Express Vpn Pptp

Download the latest version of the OpenVPN GUI client and install it. The OpenVPN website is blocked in China, but you can access it by using Simple DNSCrypt. Alternatively, you can download the client using the links below.

Step 2 - Download the ExpressVPN .ovpn config files

Go to the ExpressVPN website and log into your account.

If you are in China without another VPN installed and the above link does not work for you, try the alternative links on the China-accessible VPN links page.

After you log into your account, go to the setup page and choose Manual Config as shown below.
