Stay Away – VPN ExpressVPN - Fast & Secure Review

The iphone app is free and you pay of course for the annual or monthly fee on the website when you have to sign up and register. The issue is that once you install the parent app expressvpn on the computer it will not shut off even if you Disconnect then Quit the app (as the customer support has suggested several times) Once quit and shut down, the app it still is running and takes up 96.5 to 99% CPU and constantly asks for an outside connection. I have spent much time with their customer support and they ALL seem to act genuinely surprised that this issue exists as if it was the first time they have ever heard of it before and still there is NO fix. The app will not stop running in the background and hogging so much cpu that it runs the fans on high on both my Macs running both High Sierra and El Capitan. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. There is something very odd that this app wants to constantly connect with outside ips even after a force quit and shut down of the app. Even after several attempts to contact customer service for a fix they still say they have "never heard of this before". The only way to quit it totally and stop the background activity is to delete the application or force quit from the Activity Window utility and never restart it. For this reason I would stay away from the "free" app until they stop using the Mac in this way.
