This tutorial will show you how to manually configure a VPN connection on your Android device using the L2TP/IPsec protocol.

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.
Using Android 5.0 and above? Follow this setup guide to use the ExpressVPN app for Android.
