Lightway is a brand new, next-generation VPN protocol developed by the popular VPN company. Unlike the off-the-shelf protocols that essentially all other VPN providers use, that can easily be blocked, Lightway is built from the ground up to meet the needs of users, making it easier than ever to protect themselves online.
Lightway is now available in ExpressVPN apps for Windows, Android, Mac, Linux, and routers—with iOS coming soon. To try it, users have to update their ExpressVPN app to the latest version and select Lightway as their protocol in the app’s settings. See below on how to set it up.

Here’s what you might notice:
- Faster speeds. ExpressVPN is known for its speeds, but Lightway will make your VPN connection even faster.
- Connect more quickly. You’ll also be able to get connected to ExpressVPN more swiftly—often in just a fraction of a second.
- Always-on protection. Whether you’re switching from 4G to Wi-Fi or you lose signal in an elevator, your VPN connection doesn’t skip a beat, ensuring no interruptions to your browsing or security.
Users are expected to enjoy all this while staying secure with wolfSSL’s well-established encryption technology and all of the company’s proven privacy protections.
