Wars, conflicts, and turmoil increase censorship and restrictions on internet access. Right now, the obvious urgency is providing unrestricted, yet protected, internet access to citizens in Ukraine, Russia, and other war-affected areas.
As always, we welcome organizers and journalists, including citizen journalists and individuals supporting the situation on the ground, currently in an oppressive situation who need secure, uncensored internet access, to get in touch. Tell us how a VPN will help you in your mission to help others or stop misinformation via safe@expressvpn.com so we can help with VPN access.
Growing demand for secure, uncensored internet access
As a VPN provider that gives its users secure, uncensored access to the internet, we are only all too aware of the growing demands to provide such protection—and the need has never been more urgent.
In recent weeks, we’ve watched the Russian government accelerate its attempts to control the flow of information among its people and its neighbors by suppressing news reports and blocking social media. This is antithetical to our mission to ensure everyone has access to the free and open internet.
Over the last decade, we’ve seen in our close work with journalists and activists how critical it is to have access to tools for staying connected and protected. And recent events have made it clearer than ever before that citizen journalism via social media plays a critical role during times of conflict.
Free access to social media and the broader internet is crucial for citizens to connect, organize, and overcome oppression—and we exist to be part of the solution.

I think some of these people believe this ExpressVPN service will give them free internet service. Not understanding it is a service to provide Insurance to your internet is not hacked or for your person to be exposed.
We do provide complimentary VPN service to those who are involved in activism, journalism, or humanitarian service amid oppressive situations and need access to the open internet. But you’re right, a VPN cannot supply Wi-Fi or other internet service.
This is an urgent request
Hello, please help me

In Ukraine it is rumored that you can give us free accounts, but it seems that it is a lie and even in my request Ms. Lisa responded with a ridiculous tone….
Hello,
ExpressVPN team, I am a Ukrainian journalist based in Lviv. I have been facing issues with the internet access and security. I tried few free VPNs but they were slow and I couldn’t trust them completely. I request you to provide me with a VPN account in this difficult time, so I could secure my phone and other digital devices that contain the sensitive information, so that I am protected from any possible cyber-attack. I have also sent a request on safe@expressvpn.com. Looking forward to your cooperation. I shall be thankful to you for this favour. Thank you.
Now everyone is a Ukrain journalist 🙂
In this situation, we are journalists who are on the front line of the war, and in Ukraine it is rumored that you can provide us with a fexpressvpn.com/blog/staying-co…ree account.
This kind of talk is far from
I’m sorry for the kind of answer you’re mocking, my job being a journalist is the second highest-risk job in the world, you don’t have the right to insult us Ukrainian journalists.
Hi
I’m not a professional journalist, I’m just a Ukrainian citizen who can share what’s happening here and communicate with the rest of the world through safe, private, and secure internet access.
Please help us if you can.
I’m not sure if there will be free access to the internet in the next following days and weeks.
I am living in Turkmenistan. Don’t work vpn. Help me
The US and the Governments of the Five Eyes nations , and the EU is also censoring sources of information from Russia and China and their allies, while Facebook, Twitter and Silicon Valley Tech, as well as the US-UK Mainstream Media endulges in and often publishes lies. You should protect us the activists and truth tellers in the US and Europe as well from the US Government, the CIA and other Western spook agencies. I am sorry to say your report and efforts are one-sided and partisan.
Hello, this is the second time I have sent an email to receive a filter breaker
I am a journalist in Ukraine and all communication channels are filtered here, please help me to continue my journalistic activity.
Your policy faiks to recognise that tge public in Russia are being starved pf vital information while journalists and activists are prosecuted in Russia. You need to help by making your service free to Russian citizens while this crisis persists. You say you are for free speech. Well then do it in Russia.
We are providing help in Russia, Ukraine, and beyond.
I haven’t seen you help us, Ukrainian journalists, and give us an account for at least three months free of charge.
She made fun of us, Miss Lisa, who’s your partner.
What exactly do ExpressVPN do to help in your eyes? Make ExpressVPN free? Its like 5 bucks a month, you’re being a little dramatic don’t you think? I understand there’s economic implications during wars, but its not an exorbitant price. Pay it if its so important for you.
