ExpressVPN switches to fixed local rates from USD billing

ExpressVPN has updated its billing system to abandon USD-only payments in favor of fixed local rates. This change aims to stabilize costs for users in the UK, Europe, and Brazil. The update was announced on February 11, 2026.

ExpressVPN, a prominent VPN provider, has implemented a major billing update by ditching its previous USD-only billing model. Instead, the company now offers fixed local rates tailored to specific regions.

This shift particularly benefits users in the UK, Europe, and Brazil, where currency fluctuations had previously made costs unpredictable. By stabilizing pricing in local currencies, ExpressVPN seeks to provide more consistent and predictable expenses for its subscribers in these areas.

The announcement highlights the provider's response to user feedback regarding billing variability. No specific details on the exact rates or rollout timeline beyond the initial regions were provided in the update notice.

This change comes as VPN services continue to adapt to global economic conditions, ensuring accessibility for international users without the burden of exchange rate volatility.

ExpressVPN has introduced a new cybersecurity suite featuring four standalone apps designed to enhance user privacy and security. The suite includes a password manager, masked email service, identity monitoring tool, and an encrypted AI platform, all integrated into its existing subscription plans. Two of the apps are available immediately, while the others will launch soon.

ExpressVPN is phasing out its legacy applications as part of a security update rollout. Users must update their apps by March 31 to maintain protection. Failure to do so will result in loss of VPN security features.

Apple has halted payment processing for its App Store and other media services in Russia as of April 1, 2026. The move closes a loophole that allowed users to buy VPN apps amid a government crackdown on online speech. Existing subscriptions and purchases remain accessible.

ExpressVPN has partnered with the Internet Watch Foundation to introduce OpenBoundary, a tool designed to restrict access to domains containing verified child sexual abuse material without compromising user privacy. The open-source technology uses simple DNS controls to block illegal content. ExpressVPN plans to implement it across its services, including CyberGhost VPN and Private Internet Access.

Virtual private networks, or VPNs, are not inherently unsafe, but choosing the wrong one can expose users to risks. Experts emphasize evaluating protocols, privacy policies, and security features before use. While VPNs enhance online anonymity, they alone cannot protect against all cyber threats.

Netflix has increased prices across its US subscription tiers, with the ad-supported plan rising from $8 to $9 per month.
