The cost of a California VPN depends on the quality of service. A premium VPN like ExpressVPN—with ultra-fast 10Gbps servers, best-in-class privacy and security, and 24/7 live chat support—might cost a little more, but it's still cheaper than the cost of not being protected.

If you're looking for a free California VPN, take advantage of our 30-day money-back guarantee. You'll get all the premium features of ExpressVPN, but with the option to get your money back within 30 days if you're not satisfied for any reason. It's like a free VPN trial, but better.

Are VPNs legal in California?

Do I need a VPN if I live in California?

Connecting to the internet through a VPN is a good idea for all Californians, as it keeps you safe on untrusted networks and makes your connection more private and anonymous.

What is the best VPN for California?

The best VPN for California is ExpressVPN, with next-gen 10-Gbps servers and server locations in 105 countries around the world. Select a server location in California or let ExpressVPN’s Smart Location feature automatically choose the best server for your network.

Can I use TikTok with a VPN in the U.S.?

Yes, ExpressVPN is compatible with TikTok and has multiple U.S. VPN server locations.

Although TikTok is not yet banned in any U.S. state for ordinary citizens, Montana has introduced a bill to do so that will take effect on January 1, 2024 (pending challenges and delays).

U.S. government officials have claimed that TikTok is a national security threat due to the possibility of TikTok sharing user data with its parent company, ByteDance, and the Chinese government. The U.S. has also raised concerns about propaganda being spread via TikTok and the addictive qualities of the app, especially for young people.
