Best VPN for multiple devices: Use up to 8

With a single ExpressVPN subscription, you can connect to the VPN on up to eight different devices at the same time. If you want to connect to more than eight devices, you’re covered with ExpressVPN for routers, which protects every device connected to the router, no matter how many you have. Our secure service is constantly optimized to give you a fast, reliable VPN experience. See for yourself: If you’re not satisfied, you can cancel within 30 days and get a full refund.

Yes, you need to install a VPN app on every device you want to connect to the VPN (unless you are using VPN on your Wi-Fi router). It’s easy! Just visit this link on your device to download the app.

Yes, this is possible with Device Groups on ExpressVPN for Wi-Fi routers.

With Device Groups, you can create up to five groups for your devices, with each group connected to a specific VPN server location. For example, you can stream a TV show from the UK while another family member watches a U.S. basketball game, another listens to music from Canada, and another connects to Australia to play video games.

The number of users that can be on a VPN depends on the provider. For example, ExpressVPN allows up to eight devices to connect simultaneously with a single subscription—one of the highest numbers of simultaneous connections offered among VPN providers. Additionally, if you use a compatible router or Aircove, ExpressVPN enables you to connect an unlimited number of devices, providing extensive coverage for all your family's online needs.

Absolutely. ExpressVPN allows you to share your VPN with your family, supporting up to eight devices simultaneously on a single subscription. This ensures that each family member can enjoy secure and private internet access on their own devices. Key features that keep your family safe online include strong encryption to protect your data, a no-logs policy ensuring your online activities aren't recorded, and IP address masking to maintain your privacy. Additionally, ExpressVPN's parental controls and ad blocker further enhance online safety, blocking access to inappropriate content and filtering out potentially harmful ads. This comprehensive security makes it an ideal choice for family use.

Yes, you can use a VPN on multiple devices that don’t natively support VPN connections by using a router. Installing ExpressVPN on a compatible router allows you to extend VPN protection to all devices connected to your home network, including smart TVs and game consoles. This method is particularly useful for securing devices that don't have built-in VPN support, ensuring that every device in your home benefits from the same level of security and privacy provided by ExpressVPN.

While the use of a VPN can impact the speed of your internet, that speed is not affected by the number of connections you use at a time. For instance, if you have three smartphones using the same VPN account, the speed on each device won’t be any slower than if only one phone were connected. That said, your speeds could slow down if many people are all using the same Wi-Fi at home, but that is unrelated to VPN use.
