ExpressVPN is one of the main VPN brands that we can currently hire, in fact, we can integrate this premium VPN service into our ASUS router, so that all the wireless and wired clients we want can access the Internet through the VPN tunnel. By supporting OpenVPN and also WireGuard, we can use either of the two protocols (and even both), with the aim of establishing a VPN tunnel and for clients to go out to the Internet through there, to prevent the operator from spying on us. This feature is very important for the ASUS RT-AX57 Go travel router that we have analyzed previously, and it will allow us to establish several tunnels simultaneously.
