According to <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210913005652/en/ExpressVPN-to-Join-Kape-Technologies-with-Shared-Vision-to-Transform-Privacy-and-Security" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kape Technologies’ news release</a>, adding ExpressVPN to its quiver of VPNs will double its user number from 3 million to 6 million. </p><p>According to <a href="https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/expressvpn-joining-kape/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ExpressVPN’s blog post</a> about the acquisition, the reasoning behind this move is so that the VPN can “innovate faster” and joining forces would offer users “protection from a wider range of threats.” </p><blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>“We’ve been impressed by Kape’s clear commitment to protecting the privacy of users. Their track record with upholding the exacting privacy practices and policies of other privacy protection services under the Kape umbrella is a strong testament to how seriously they take their responsibility to respect user privacy and rights.”</p><cite><a href="https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/expressvpn-joining-kape/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ExpressVPN blog post</a></cite></blockquote><p>However, Kape Technologies’ history (previously named Crossrider) has drawn our criticism and suspicion in the past due to its software being used to <a href="https://securityboulevard.com/2019/08/crossrider-adware-still-causing-unwanted-mac-browser-redirects/">distribute malware</a>, as seen in our <a href="https://www.commquer.com/cyberghost-review/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CyberGhost review</a>. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" id="defenders-of-kape-crossrider">Defenders of Kape/Crossrider</h3><p>That controversial malware history might not be all it seems, though. A recent <a href="https://restoreprivacy.com/kape-technologies-crossrider-malware/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">investigation by Restore Privacy</a> indicates that Crossrider’s role was simply to create a development platform that was used and abused by third parties to spread malware. </p><p>Interestingly, this Restore Privacy article quotes Andrew Lee, co-founder of Private Internet Access — another VPN that was bought by Kape Technologies. He <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21679885" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">defended Kape/Crossrider</a> soon after that acquisition: </p><blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p><em>To be clear, in the past the company was known as CrossRider and provided a developer SDK that could be used to integrate with browsers. Unfortunately, CrossRider didn’t do enough to prevent malware (like platforms these days and their fake news) and the platform was used by some bad people for bad purposes.</em></p><p></p><cite>Andrew Lee, co-founder of Private Internet Access</cite></blockquote><p>Some skeptics might ask, why didn’t Crossrider/Kape do more to clear its name of its bad reputation, rather than relying on subsidiaries and a VPN review site to defend it?

ExpressVPN’s core features, like its unlimited bandwidth, BVI jurisdiction and dedication to not collecting activity or connection logs should remain unchanged. The VPN will continue to operate independently from Kape Technologies, run by the current ExpressVPN team.</p><p>That being said, ExpressVPN said that it will update its terms of service and privacy policy to “reflect changes in ownership and/or legal entities.” It also says that ExpressVPN will “collect no more than the minimal data required to operate.” We will give this a thorough review once it is updated to make sure the words of ExpressVPN and Kape Technologies stand true.</p><p>Luckily, ExpressVPN says it will continue to have independent third-party audits and penetration tests.</p><figure itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="figure text-center full full" data-id="77253"><picture><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Timeline-Kape-Technology_v2.webp" type="image/webp" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Timeline-Kape-Technology_v2.png" media="(min-width: 1400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Timeline-Kape-Technology_v2-800x450.png" media="(min-width: 400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Timeline-Kape-Technology_v2-680x383.png" media="(min-width: 200px)" /><img decoding="async" width="800" height="450" loading="lazy" class="landscape landscape_16_9" src="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Timeline-Kape-Technology_v2-800x450.png" alt="kape technologies timeline" title="Timeline-Kape-Technology_v2"><figcaption itemprop="caption"><div class="caption">The history of Kape Technologies.</div></figcaption></figure><p>In 2023, Kape Technologies went private, <a href="https://www.commquer.com/kape-technologies-layoffs/">laid off 12% of its staff</a>, and ExpressVPN founder Peter Burchhardt and ExpressVPN CTO Dan Gericke left the Kape Technologies company.</p></section><section><h2 class="wp-block-heading" class="wp-block-heading" id="final-thoughts">Final Thoughts</h2><p>ExpressVPN has long been our <a href="https://www.commquer.com/best-vpn/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">best VPN</a> for its impeccable security, speed, ease of use and more.
