SAVE 49%: Unblock Twitter from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £81.38 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


VPNs are valuable cybersecurity tools that protect your data and identity when you're online. That's obviously important, but these services are gaining in popularity due to their ability to bypass online restrictions.

VPNs can unblock online platforms and services by running your data through an encrypted tunnel and hiding your IP address and location through proxying. This might sound complicated, but it's really not. When you connect to a VPN, you can circumvent censorship, filters, masks, and firewalls, meaning you can access websites, apps, and online services with total freedom.

The process of unblocking is quick and easy, and can be used to retain access to sites like Twitter:

  1. Sign up for a VPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in a location that supports Twitter

  4. Visit Twitter and use the app from anywhere in the world

A number of VPNs can unblock Twitter with ease, but ExpressVPN is probably the best option for most users. ExpressVPN offers strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, an intuitive app and interface, helpful live support, and up to five simultaneous connections. ExpressVPN also has a robust privacy policy, so your data is always secure.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £81.38 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This plan also includes a year of free unlimited cloud backup and a 30-day money-back guarantee. With the money-back guarantee, you can unblock Twitter and then recover your investment at a later date. This might sound like a sneaky trick, but it means you can retain access Twitter for free.
