This guide will show you other possible connection options if your router doesn’t support OpenVPN manual configurations.

ExpressVPN manual configurations are designed for devices that can’t run the ExpressVPN apps and support these protocols: OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, and PPTP. OpenVPN offers more security and privacy benefits than L2TP/IPsec or PPTP. It should be selected over L2TP/IPsec and PPTP when possible.

If your router doesn’t support OpenVPN, consider using one of the connection options below.
