How to use a VPN to unblock Twitter

Set up a VPN for Twitter in 4 easy steps

Unblock your favorite apps and services with a Twitter VPN. You don’t need to be tech-savvy to set it up. Here’s how:

Sign up for an ExpressVPN subscription.

Once you’re connected to a VPN server location, Twitter will start working as it should.

How does a VPN proxy unblock Twitter?

A VPN, or virtual private network, unblocks Twitter by running your internet data through an encrypted tunnel and hiding your IP address and location through proxying.

When you connect to a VPN, you can circumvent government and school censorship, filters, masks, and firewalls. This allows you to access websites, apps, and online services with freedom.

Why is Twitter blocked in some places?

Map of countries that block or restrict Twitter

Because Twitter is such a powerful tool, some governments, internet service providers, schools, and organizations block it to prevent citizens from communicating with one another.

Government and school firewalls block Twitter

Some governments, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, use firewalls and censorship laws to control the flow of information among their citizens, especially in times of social and political unrest. Your ISP might block Twitter to comply with the government’s wishes. And schools put up firewalls and content filters to prevent students from accessing valuable resources on Twitter.

But blocking Twitter is a direct assault on your freedom of expression. Reclaim your freedom to speak your mind with a VPN.
