The Bottom Line
ExpressVPN has been a reliable contender for the best VPN at avoiding censorship for a very long time.
In Turkey this is no different.
It’s also really easy to use, which we like a lot. Many VPNs have complicated setup process for obfuscated servers, but if you leave ExpressVPN on “Smart Location” it will automatically activate obfuscation when you need it.
ExpressVPN has the most server locations we’ve seen in the region. If you are in Istanbul or the surrounding area there are servers in nearby Bulgaria and Greece, while if you are on the south coast there are servers in Cyprus and Israel.
If you are in the eastern part of the country ExpressVPN has the best coverage you’ll find, with servers in bordering Georgia and Armenia.
We’ve never seen ExpressVPN leak IP DNS or WebRTC information, and it comes with a kill switch feature so you can be confident that you won’t suffer any drops in coverage or have your activity exposed.
While not quite no logs, ExpressVPN does maintain a very minimal logging policy, which we think you should be agreeing to. We would like to see it become even more minimal, though.
The apps are simple and easy to use on all devices, including Fire TV Stick. It can be installed at the router level, too, which makes it super easy to protect your media devices or smart TV – there’s a reason it’s our second best choice for Kodi.
Another bonus is ExpressVPN’s 30-day refund period. This allows you to get the VPN running before you arrive in Turkey, and if you find it doesn’t work once you get there, you can just ask for your money back.
We’re confident that you won’t need to return ExpressVPN – but we like it when a provider gives you the option.
One draw-back with ExpressVPN is that it’s fairly expensive on shorter plans. This is fine if you’ll need it for a long time, but if you only need the service for a few weeks you might want to look at our number two pick.
