ExpressVPN pricing

ExpressVPN customer support
Customer support is a real standout feature of ExpressVPN. The company provides 24/7 live chat support that’s manned by experts who can resolve most technical issues within minutes. Chat support includes assistance on everything from complex issues to simple setup guidelines.
Support is also available via email for businesses that want to maintain anonymity and prefer not to use chat-based support. Like most VPN service providers, ExpressVPN lacks customer support on the phone.
What’s lacking
ExpressVPN subscribers are limited to 3 simultaneous connections, which can get pricey for businesses with a large number of employees. And while the user-interface of ExpressVPN is simple and peppy, it lacks a Socks5 proxy to split specific traffic from overall Internet activity. This is especially important to note for businesses that use P2P file sharing applications.
ExpressVPN also lacks the ability to prevent sites like Google, Facebook, DoubleClick and Twitter from tracking profiles.
