- ExpressVPN launches new business VPN plan
- ExpressVPN for Teams is an upgrade from volume licensing
- Plans start at 25% off and increase to 50% for larger teams.
One of the world’s most recognized privacy names is officially open for business, literally. ExpressVPN has announced the launch of ExpressVPN for Teamsa dedicated service designed to protect small and medium-sized organizations (SMBs) that require protection without the complexity of enterprise-grade solutions.
While the provider has long been a favorite in our best consumer VPN guide, businesses have historically had to juggle individual licenses. ExpressVPN for Teams seeks to solve this problem by creating a simplified path for managers to deploy the service across the entire workforce, competing directly with established B2B players like NordLayer.
With remote and hybrid work now the standard, the need for easy-to-use business VPNs has never been greater. Small teams often lack dedicated IT security departments, leaving them vulnerable when employees connect from cafeterias or home networks. ExpressVPN for Teams aims to close that gap by combining its consumer usability with the administrative controls that businesses require.
What is ExpressVPN for Teams?
At its core, ExpressVPN for Teams is an evolution of the company’s volume licensing program, which was aimed at small and growing teams, but with significantly more power. The service starts with a minimum of five licenses and features a new centralized administration panel.
This panel is the key differentiator. Instead of managing dozens of separate accounts, administrators can now bulk upload users, assign seats, and track renewals from a single dashboard. According to the company, “assigning licenses to 100 users now only takes a few minutes.”
The most important thing for employees is that the user experience remains unchanged. Staff will continue to use the standard, award-winning ExpressVPN client you probably already know, which is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Linux. This familiarity should minimize the onboarding friction that often plagues corporate software implementations.
Shay Peretz, COO of ExpressVPN, explained the change as “an update built on real feedback.” He said: “Modern businesses told us they needed simpler license management and a platform that could scale with their teams.”
Dedicated IP and security features
Beyond management, the new service introduces Dedicated IP for equipment. This is a critical feature for businesses that rely on “whitelisting” specific IP addresses to grant access to internal servers or sensitive cloud resources.
Unlike the dynamic IP addresses standard users receive, which change every time you connect, a dedicated IP remains constant. ExpressVPN notes that this feature is available for teams with one- or two-year plans, with a “custom provisioning approach” that allows engineers to tailor the configuration to the organization’s needs.
Ultimately, the business level benefits from the same infrastructure as the consumer product. This includes:
- Lightway Protocol: The company’s custom protocol designed for speed and reliability.
- Reliable server technology: RAM only servers that wipe all data on every reboot.
- AES-256 encryption: The industry standard for protecting data traffic.
A crowded market
The launch puts ExpressVPN directly in competition with Nord Security (the provider behind the popular NordVPN), which launched its business-focused solution in 2019. While NordLayer has had years to develop complex features like network slicing and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), ExpressVPN appears to be targeting a different slice of the market: simplicity.
By focusing on ease of use and quick deployment, ExpressVPN for Teams seems tailor-made for SMBs that want click-and-play protection rather than a complex network architecture overhaul.
“ExpressVPN for Teams brings powerful, audited VPN technology directly to organizations in a way that is easy to deploy and scale,” said Zac Eller, CEO of B2B at ExpressVPN.
The service is available now, with volume discounts starting at 25% and reaching up to 50% as organizations scale.
