What you do online is your business

Being stuck at home these days, you probably don’t think much about internet privacy on your own network. But even in incognito mode — even if you clear your browsing history — your internet service provider can still see every single website you’ve ever visited.

ExpressVPN makes sure your ISP can’t see what sites you visit. Instead, your internet connection is rerouted through ExpressVPN’s secure servers. That means everything you do is anonymized and can’t be traced back to you. ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your data with best-in-class encryption, so your information is always protected. All that and it won't slow down your connection.

Visit ExpressVPN.com/Kim to get an extra three months free on a one-year package.
