If you are looking for a VPN solution that is easy to set up and use while traveling (or even at home), the Aircove Go VPN router is the right choice.

ExpressVPN Aircove GO VPN Travel Router: How to Set Up and Review

This tiny, palm-sized device is powered by USB-C (like your smartphone, tablet, laptop, and more), making it super easy to use in your hotel, at the coffee shop (or brewery, depending on your tastes), and at home. It comes with a 30-day Express VPN subscription (typically $13 per month), which keeps your data safe even when you’re connected to a wide-open WiFi network at Starbucks.

Why use a VPN? Many reasons, but mainly because I like to know that my internet connection is safe when I’m working in a hotel or a coffee shop. I can check my bank balance, I can have sensitive conversations on messaging apps. Whatever the activity, a VPN keeps that data encrypted and secure.

Setup was super easy. I simply plugged the included charger into a wall socket and the USB-C side into the Aircove Go and it was ready to go. I then went to expressvpnrouter.com, hit the Get Started button and followed the prompts. The router will look for an Ethernet signal at first and will give an error if you are not using a wired connection to your router, but all is not lost.
