The internet has slowly turned out to be the liberating utopia that a section of early developers and adopters envisioned. Although the internet is a wonderful resource, it is also festering with hackers, malware, cookies, high-level cybercrime, and state-wide censorship. An added layer of online security has, therefore, become a necessity for individuals and organizations alike.

VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) offer a great solution to improve user privacy and security when browsing the internet. Not only does a VPN circumvent censorship, it also protects your privacy by hiding your IP address and encrypting the data that travels between your device and the internet.

HP and ExpressVPN Partnership

The demand for VPNs has soared over the last couple of years. As a result, ExpressVPN has partnered with HP in a bid to help computer users stay secure and private online. For now, HP’s Spectre x360 13 laptop features integrated ExpressVPN protection. Customers who buy the machine enjoy a 30-day ExpressVPN free trial, allowing them to access all ExpressVPN apps for a myriad of gadgets, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, iOS, Android, and macOS.

But if you don’t fancy this particular model of laptop, you shouldn’t fret as the number of innovative models is bound to increase in the next couple of months. After the expiry of the trial period, users will have the option to make either monthly or annual subscriptions. ExpressVPN provides different pricing plans, with monthly subscriptions costing $12.95 and annual plans going for $6.67 per month, with an additional three months for free.

ExpressVPN TrustedServer Technology

ExpressVPN’s TrustedServer technology is the IT industry’s most advanced VPN server technology that effectively wipes out all data with every server reboot. It runs on RAM only, meaning that your data is never written on hard drives. Each time the server is restarted, the entire software stack is reinstalled fresh. ExpressVPN can tell exactly what’s running on each server without inconsistencies. This is a whole new standard of security that is independently audited to affirm essential privacy protections.

Final Thoughts

A VPN comes with numerous benefits in this technology age. It does not just encrypt your data to keep your privacy intact. It also effectively covers your tracks by masking your physical address. You can connect to the internet via multiple servers across the globe. Whenever you connect through a VPN, your IP (Internet Protocol) address is replaced with the address of the VPN server. As a result, no website will access your private details such as your location. In other words, online platforms won’t analyze your IP address as its completely hidden.
