ExpressVPN now has servers in all 50 U.S. states—here’s what that means for your privacy

State laws are reshaping the internet. Rules about data collection, content access, and identity checks now vary depending on where you live. As a result, the online experience in the U.S. is becoming fragmented.

ExpressVPN has expanded its server network to meet that shift. There are now 62 server locations across the country, up from 24. For the first time, customers can connect to a server in every U.S. state.

About the new server locations

To support nationwide coverage, ExpressVPN has added 38 new server locations. Users can connect to servers nationwide, including multiple ones in high-demand areas like Los Angeles and New Jersey.

All ExpressVPN servers are physical, and a selection of our locations are served virtually, with traffic routed through nearby physical servers. This means your IP matches your chosen state, with the server hosted nearby for top performance.

All new locations run on TrustedServer, our RAM-only technology that wipes all data on every reboot. They also use Lightway, ExpressVPN’s open-source protocol, which is now upgraded with Lightway Turbo for even faster connections.

Why this matters for your privacy and access

More and more, your online experience depends on where you live. From data collection rules to content restrictions and verification, state policies are starting to shape what the internet looks like across the U.S. Some states are introducing laws that require age checks to access certain platforms. Others are proposing limits on the kind of content that can be shared and seen. Even access to basic services can vary depending on your IP address.

ExpressVPN’s expanded U.S. network helps respond to that shift, giving you reliable privacy and access, wherever you are. With servers in all 50 states, users can connect through locations that reflect their needs.

That means:

• More choice: Choose a server that best meets your needs, whether for unrestricted access, faster speeds, stronger privacy, or all of the above.
• More stability: With more nearby options, you can maintain fast and reliable connections across the country.
• More privacy: Every U.S. server uses strong encryption and a no-logs policy to keep your traffic private wherever you connect.

When and why you might pick a specific state

As state laws continue to influence what you can see and do online, your location plays a bigger role than ever. ExpressVPN’s expanded U.S. network gives you more flexibility and choice, helping you maintain a more consistent online experience, no matter where you are.

Here’s when choosing a specific server can come in handy:

• Stay connected to local content from your home state while away: Traveling out of state? Connecting to a server back home can help you access regional websites, local news, and sports coverage.
• Get reliable access to services tied to your location: Some websites and apps adjust their features based on where you’re connecting from. With servers in all 50 states, you can access the tools and platforms you need.
• Access state-specific portals and services more easily: Some state-run sites work best when accessed from within the same state. Connecting to a local server can ensure smoother functionality.
• Improve performance with a local connection: Local servers usually mean better speeds. With a server in every state, more users can connect to nearby locations, helping maintain fast and stable connections.

The internet is changing, and so is the way people need to protect their access. ExpressVPN will continue expanding and evolving to meet that shift, giving users tools that work wherever they are.
