How does a VPN unblock Grindr?

As a dating and social networking app, Grindr uses geolocation features—including tracking your location via your IP address—to find and recommend people close to your location. However, this also means that Grindr may not work if you’re currently in a country where the service is blocked.

A VPN can help bypass these restrictions. With ExpressVPN, you’ll be able to mask your IP address and encrypt your traffic by routing it through secure VPN server locations that you choose when you connect.

This means that if you select a VPN server location in the U.S., you can sign in and use Grindr as if you were in the United States, no matter where you actually are in the world!
