Easy, always-on protection starts with Aircove
Find out how our VPN routers deliver seamless security for all your devices—at home and away.
Experience the AircoveOS difference
Developed by ExpressVPN and audited by Cure53, AircoveOS is the technology that underpins both Aircove and Aircove Go. When paired with an ExpressVPN subscription, it simplifies, amplifies, and extends VPN protection for you and your family. And your privacy? It’s front and center.
What’s new in AircoveOS v5
The latest AircoveOS update introduces some of our most exciting speed and security improvements yet. You’ll now enjoy faster VPN speeds of up to 330 Mbps (when using the Lightway TCP protocol)—almost double that of v4. Guest Wi-Fi, a new feature, lets visitors connect to Aircove or Aircove Go without granting them access to your main network or any connected devices.
AircoveOS, which uses Lightway, our pioneering VPN protocol, also benefits from a recent security upgrade. Lightway now uses ML-KEM—the newly finalized NIST standard for post-quantum encryption, protecting you from the quantum-powered challenges of the future.

Flexibility that fits any household
Because every family’s different, and that’s OK. AircoveOS lets you create groups—up to five of them—for all your devices, each with its own VPN location. So you can watch the game in the UK, while your partner streams shows from Australia, and the kids get to game like they’re in Japan. Everyone wins!
Keeping the peace at home? It’s as easy as keeping everyone connected. Once your devices have joined the network for the first time, they’ll remember it from that point on. So it’s not just the Wi-Fi connection that’s automatic, but the VPN protection, too. You don’t have to install the app at all, if you don’t want to.
And if you do happen to connect to ExpressVPN on a particular device while simultaneously connecting to the VPN via Aircove, no problem. Lightway Passthrough, an AircoveOS feature, sorts out that "double VPN" scenario for you without any configuration at all.
Enjoy advanced protection, too
With smart home devices like voice assistants and baby monitors becoming potential points of entry for online snoops, access points into our homes are no longer limited to doors and windows.
AircoveOS was designed to be compatible with any online device, not just ones that can download a VPN. So you can finally protect all your family’s devices, and leave nothing to chance.
Besides the benefits you expect from a world-class VPN, AircoveOS provides advanced protection features, including:
Do it all on your dashboard
Organize your devices
For each group, set a VPN location or choose:
Smart Location, which selects the best location for you based on network conditions
No VPN, for when you want a device connected to the internet but not using VPN
No internet, for when you want to block individual devices from accessing the internet
Your preferred advanced protection settings to apply, if any
Set up advanced protection
Decide which advanced protection settings to apply and even limit internet access at certain times!
Nerd out over pro features
Enable custom DNS, port forwarding, and more. Technical users can get their hands dirty if they want to.
Take your VPN-protected network anywhere
With Aircove running, your Wi-Fi network is fully encrypted and private, and so is any device that connects to it. But what if you’re headed out on a family vacation, or need to work remotely for a while?
Aircove Go lets you hit the road with peace of mind. Turn any public hotspot into your own VPN-protected network with Wi-Fi Link, an exclusive feature that lets you connect to the internet via another Wi-Fi network, even those with captive login portals.
Set up a guest network
In addition to the five device groups you can create, set up a separate Wi-Fi network just for guests! Devices connected to this guest network can’t communicate with other devices connected to your router. However, they can still benefit from all the protections of ExpressVPN—including ad and tracker blocking, anti-malware, and adult content filtering.
Devices on your guest network cannot be dragged and dropped into a different group, ensuring they remain isolated from the rest of the devices.
