ExpressVPN's Lightway 2.0: Rust-Powered Speed and Security Boost

ExpressVPN has rewritten its core Lightway VPN protocol in Rust, resulting in significant speed improvements and enhanced security. Currently available only on ExpressVPN's Aircove router, Lightway 2.0 boasts approximately 20% faster speeds in tests. Rust's memory safety features and concurrency advantages mitigate common vulnerabilities, and the protocol utilizes the new ML-KEM post-quantum encryption standard. Independent security audits further validate its reliability. While currently limited to the Aircove router, wider platform support is planned for the coming months.
