I have had expess vpn for about 10 days. Initially I logged into the moderately priced Yichang hotel's wifi where i was staying and it worked, albeit slowly. However, there were open wifi connections that, more persistently than I realized, were trying to switch me from the motel's wifi to the open ones. I got frustrated one time and entered a password to a secondary gmail account even though Express' software was showing red 'xxs“. After, entering the password, I started getting multiple notifications that unknown devices were using my gmail account. Then shortly after that a notification flashed in front of me that my express account was being changed. From that point on all that would show up on my Android wifi, was open fraudulent wifis-- no hotel wifi. Tried last ditch attempt to access gmail directly, but gmail login was blocked by Google.

Got back to Wuhan and used my relatives wifi. Deleted old express account and tried to access the site directly. That didn't work. Checked Andoid History and found link to signup. Set up a totally new account and was able to check other accounts that could have been compromised, but they were not compromised as it turned out. Also, my credit card was not charged. Part of the explanation for my good fortune is undoubtedly that I intentionally kept very little info on the secondary address precisely for this type of eventuality. New account gives me Internet access.

Hope this helps other people. I should add that Express has been moderately good.
