    Encryption of your internet traffic is crucial for your privacy and security, as it protects your online activity from monitoring or interference. Our advanced VPN encryption is one of the key ways ExpressVPN protects your data and communications. Today, we offer you an additional level of protection: the ExpressVPN Chrome extension, now with HTTPS Everywhere support. Enabled by default, HTTPS Everywhere automatically redirects you to a more secure HTTPS version of thousands of major websites, encrypting your connection to these sites and providing significantly greater security than standard HTTP. Moreover, it works regardless of whether you are connected to VPN. [Already using ExpressVPN? Get the Chrome extension here.] HTTPS Everywhere: greater privacy and security HTTPS Everywhere was developed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a leading non-profit organization that protects digital privacy and freedom of speech. ExpressVPN has long been a loyal supporter of EFF, and we are proud to be able to provide the security and privacy benefits of our HTTPS Everywhere project to users of the ExpressVPN Chrome extension. The new option can be turned on or off in the extension settings menu. Whenever this feature is enabled, your browser automatically connects to the secure HTTPS version of any site you visit, which is covered by HTTPS Everywhere rule sets. HTTPS gives you confidence that the traffic between you and the site you are visiting is encrypted and that the site is indeed the one you intended to connect to. You can tell that you are connected via HTTPS because Chrome will display a green lock icon and the label “Secure” to the left of the website address. Unfortunately, many sites that support HTTPS still use HTTP by default, and links to HTTPS-enabled sites often point to less secure HTTP versions. Moreover, even if an HTTP site redirects you to its HTTPS version and displays a green lock, you may still be vulnerable to a “man-in-the-middle” attack. The HTTPS Everywhere feature in the ExpressVPN Chrome extension solves these problems by providing a constant connection to the HTTPS version when it is available. ExpressVPN and HTTPS Everywhere: better together Connecting to VPN in addition to using HTTPS enhances your privacy and security by routing traffic through a secure tunnel. This helps ensure that your online activity is protected by encryption, even if the site does not fully support HTTPS. It also prevents hackers or internet service providers from seeing which sites you visit, which HTTPS does not hide.
