ExpressVPN is optimized to work with YouTube TV so you can enjoy online privacy and security all the time, without the VPN interfering. It should never be used as a means of copyright circumvention, which is strictly against our Terms of Service. As we cannot see or control what you do while connected to our VPN, you are responsible at all times for complying with our terms, the YouTube TV Terms of Use, and any applicable laws. Compliance requires you to be located in the U.S. while streaming YouTube TV with ExpressVPN.
