How to Set Up ExpressVPN on Freebox

You can set up ExpressVPN on a Freebox device using the OpenVPN protocol paired with AES-256 encryption. That said, ExpressVPN has been tested on the Freebox Revolution line of devices but should work without issues on any Freebox model that supports OpenVPN.

We'll also add that configuring ExpressVPN on a Freebox doesn't extend VPN protection to any devices (like your computer or phone) connected to the Freebox. Instead, only the integrated seedbox and downloads initiated through the device itself will be routed through the VPN.

If you wish to protect multiple devices at once, you need to install ExpressVPN on a router (which means Freebox will be used as a secondary router to a VPN-compatible router).

How to Set Up ExpressVPN on Freebox

To set up ExpressVPN on your Freebox device, you need to set up an OpenVPN connection to your chosen VPN server. Here's what you need to do:

Mot de passe: Copy your OpenVPN password (from your dashboard).

9. Select the "Parcourir" button and upload the OVPN file from your computer. Then, select "Sauvegarder" to save your new VPN connection’s parameters.

10. Using the "Client VPN" window, click "État de la connexion VPN." At the top, check the status of your VPN connection next to "Client VPN Actif."

11. Finally, select the "Applications" tab (in the "Client VPN" window). You will see a single box there that needs to be checked. That’s it!
