How to Install and Use ExpressVPN on Freebox

Freebox devices let you access a wide range of online content, which you can further enhance using a VPN service. Trust us; you're only minutes away from unlocking the full potential of your device. With that said, let's show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Freebox.

Note

ExpressVPN doesn’t provide a list of supported Freebox devices. However, the VPN has been tested on the Freebox Revolution line of devices. Apart from those, you should be able to use ExpressVPN with any Freebox device that supports the OpenVPN protocol.

Important

Keep in mind that ExpressVPN doesn’t extend its VPN protection to any devices connected to Freebox. In other words, only your Freebox will be covered by the VPN as well as its integrated "seedbox" (along with downloads initiated through the seedbox).

1. Begin this procedure by getting your ExpressVPN subscription.

2. You’ll end up on ExpressVPN’s site, so go ahead and click on 'Get ExpressVPN.'

3. Now, pick a subscription (go for a long-term one if you’re after savings).

4. Provide your email address and then finalize the sign-up procedure.

5. Once done, expect to see an email from ExpressVPN, so make sure to check your inbox.

6. This is when you can return to ExpressVPN’s website (go to its home page).

7. Select 'My Account' using the website’s main menu, visible in the top-right corner.

8. Then, input your email and password and click on 'Sign In.'

9. When asked for a verification code, copy it from your email inbox.

10. At this moment, you should be looking at your ExpressVPN online dashboard.

12. On the left-hand side, click on 'Manual Configuration.'

13. On the right-hand side, pick 'OpenVPN' and take a good look at that section.
