When it comes to choosing a VPN, there are many different services that stand head and shoulders above the rest. We believe that great achievements should be rewarded, which is why we named ExpressVPN the best VPN in our 2020 Tom's Guide Awards.

Much of this provider's success can be attributed to its excellent user experience. Available on most devices, the app works seamlessly, making online security easy for even the most eco-friendly VPN user.

But just putting on a pretty face is not enough to win a Tom's Guide Award, and ExpressVPN proves its worth with class-leading security. While other VPNs may have a few various additional features that competitors don't, Express combines them into one package.

Full P2P support on the server, full-featured browser extensions, WebRTC leak blocking, private DNS servers, Perfect Forward Secrecy, split tunneling, kill switches, protocol selection, and a huge variety of worldwide servers.

That's not to say there aren't worthy competitors; one of ExpressVPN's few drawbacks is the fact that it costs a bit more than average, and for pennies on the dollar, Surfshark offers a great alternative.

Express' other closest competitor is NordVPN, and this security behemoth remains an immensely popular option with millions of users. But as the all-around best VPN, ExpressVPN is a worthy winner.
