  A VPN protocol is the method by which your device connects to ExpressVPN’s servers. While there are standard VPN protocols, we built our very own and call it Lightway. On the ExpressVPN app, you may select from multiple protocol options (such as Lightway and OpenVPN) or simply choose “Automatic” for the one we detect as most suited for your device.
