Gaming on iOS with a VPN

Gaming online on your iPhone or iPad with the ExpressVPN iOS app keeps your data private while also protecting you from DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. A fast iOS VPN can also lower ping times between gaming servers by connecting you to locations closer to the network hosts.

If your internet service provider is throttling gaming traffic, the ExpressVPN iOS app can also bypass those restrictions to restore your network speeds to their default levels. In some instances, gamers have even reported faster speeds.

If you’re gaming on consoles like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox, ExpressVPN has you covered, too.
