No, Express VPN and several other services like it are designed to encrypt and
lock down all communication so that when you are at a coffee shop or other
public wireless hotspot your communications with the network can't be tampered
with. If you consider the internet a set of pipes (Scott will get me for that
analogy), then VPN services make the place you connect your hose to the pipes a
different place.
So there are two advantages:
1. People in the coffee shop can't spy on your traffic because it is all
encrypted. This is a bit less of a deal recently since more and more web sites
are using HTTPS instead of HTTP.
2. You appear on the Internet as being in a ExpressVpn's data center instead
of Joe's coffee Shop.
Best wishes,
