Take back your internet with a risk-free PlayStation VPN.
Gaming online on PlayStation with ExpressVPN keeps your data private while also protecting you from DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. A VPN can also lower ping times between gaming servers by connecting you to locations closer to the network hosts.
With ExpressVPN on your router, you can extend all the privacy and security of a VPN to every device in your home, including your PlayStation. It’s easy to leave the VPN on your router on all the time; this ensures all-in-one protection for anyone who joins your Wi-Fi network, including guests.
Ready to get ExpressVPN for routers? It’s easy, and we’ll walk you through the setup step-by-step.
Not ready for a VPN router? Consider using your Windows computer as a “virtual router” instead.
MediaStreamer helps you watch content that might otherwise not be available to you. It’s the easiest to set up, but it doesn’t offer the protection or gaming benefits of a VPN. (Learn how to set up MediaStreamer on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.)
The PlayStation Plus Premium membership plan offers cloud-based gaming that allows subscribers to stream over 800 PS2, PS3, and PS4 titles on the PS4, PS5, and PC. You can also locally download more than 300 PS4 titles to your PS4 console.
Using a VPN can help you ensure you achieve the minimum speed of 5Mbps required for a stable and secure cloud gaming experience.
Just about! You can currently use ExpressVPN with PlayStation 5, 4, and 3, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, you can set up ExpressVPN on a supported router to enable VPN protection for every device in your home.
Unfortunately, it does not. MediaStreamer changes your apparent location without offering the same privacy protections as a VPN. In order to use your PlayStation with all the benefits of a VPN, you’ll need to connect it to a compatible router by using the ExpressVPN app for routers.
Yes! ExpressVPN is available on a wide array of devices including computers, smartphones, smart TVs and streaming media players, and game consoles. You can install ExpressVPN on as many devices as you wish, and connect up to five devices simultaneously with a single subscription. Or install ExpressVPN on your Wi-Fi router to connect even more.
It can. If your ISP (internet service provider) is intentionally throttling certain kinds of network traffic, a VPN can bypass these restrictions and restore your network speeds to their default levels. In some instances, users have even reported faster-than-average gaming speeds.
No. You will need to separately sign up for a PlayStation Plus subscription. ExpressVPN will complement your PlayStation Plus subscription by providing a more secure, more stable online gaming experience.
ExpressVPN is first and foremost a privacy company and therefore stores no activity logs and no connection logs. ExpressVPN also never stores any data that would allow anyone to trace a specific network activity or behavior back to an individual user. Read more about ExpressVPN’s commitment to privacy and policy toward logs.
In addition to keeping your data and files safe and hidden behind an encrypted network, connecting your PS5, PS4, or PS3 through a VPN router protects you from potential DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. You can also use a VPN to cut ping times between various gaming servers by connecting to locations closer to the network hosts.
You can either install the ExpressVPN app on a compatible Wi-Fi router, or get a router that's pre-installed with ExpressVPN.
