This tutorial will show you how to configure ExpressVPN on Chromebook using L2TP/IPsec.

Not all ExpressVPN locations may be available for manually configured connections. To use the full list of VPN locations, use the app setup.

Important: L2TP/IPsec provides weak security benefits and should only be used for anonymization or for changing locations. If you are located in a country with a high level of internet censorship, you are recommended to use the ExpressVPN app for a more stable VPN connection.

Prefer app setup? If your Chrome OS device supports Android apps, use the ExpressVPN app for Chromebook.
