How to Set Up and Use ExpressVPN on TP-Link Router

Any TP-Link router that supports L2TP/IPsec connections can be used with ExpressVPN. That means you'll need to set up ExpressVPN on a TP-Link router manually. That includes picking a specific VPN server and then instructing your router to connect to that VPN server.

Once you set up the VPN on your TP-Link router, it will act as a VPN client. No matter how many devices you connect to your router, they'll all remain protected. You'll take only a single slot of your ExpressVPN connection, leaving you with extra slots for using the VPN on the go.

And now, let's talk about how to get ExpressVPN on your TP-Link router.
