In December 2017 , ExpressVPN came into the spotlight in relation to the investigation of the assassination of Russian ambassador to Turkey , Andrei Karlov . Turkish investigators seized an ExpressVPN server which they say was used to delete relevant information from the assassin ’s Gmail and Facebook accounts . Turkish authorities were unable to find any logs to aid their investigation , which the company said verified its claim that it did not store user activity or connection logs , adding ; " while it ’s unfortunate that security tools like VPNs can be abused for illicit purposes , they are critical for our safety and the preservation of our right to privacy online . ExpressVPN is fundamentally opposed to any efforts to install ' backdoors ' or attempts by governments to otherwise undermine such technologies . " TorrentFreak has interviewed ExpressVPN in their annual comparison of VPN providers since 2015
