VPN connection a little slow?

We have added a new solution. And it’s fun! That’s a refresh button on your ExpressVPN home screen. To try it on your iPhone or Android, make sure ExpressVPN is turned on. Where your IP address is listed on the app home screen, there's a button with two arrows (like a reload symbol). Tap it, and your connection gets refreshed. 

It’s akin to giving your VPN connection a jiggle. You know how sometimes there seems to be something wrong with your router or phone charger and you give the plug a jiggle? That’s essentially what this new button does when your VPN connection seems to not be running as smoothly as you’d expect.

For instance, you are on a video call and your VPN seems to be slowing it down too much. While speeds might be reduced when the VPN is on, it shouldn’t be so affected that you cannot carry on with the call. Your first reaction might be to turn the VPN off and on again. After all, it’s a tried and true method for fixing something not functioning properly.

With the Refresh button, you can initiate a reconnection of the VPN to see if the situation improves. The best thing about it is you don’t ever lose VPN protection, even for a moment. You’re just giving your connection a jiggle.
