This guide will show you how to register your IP address on the ExpressVPN website.

MediaStreamer is a DNS service designed to improve your streaming experience. If your device doesn’t natively support VPN, MediaStreamer is a great alternative for streaming.

To use MediaStreamer smoothly, you must register your IP address on the ExpressVPN website. This allows ExpressVPN to recognize your IP address and grant your device access to MediaStreamer.

Note: MediaStreamer is not a VPN and does not offer the privacy and security benefits of a VPN. You cannot change locations with MediaStreamer.

Note: Before you proceed, disable any proxy settings on your device without connecting to ExpressVPN.

1. Register your IP address on the ExpressVPN website

Go to the ExpressVPN DNS settings page. If prompted, enter your ExpressVPN credentials and click Sign In.

Enter your account credentials, then click "Sign In."

Enter the verification code that is sent to your email.

Under IP address registration, click Register my IP address. If it already reads “registered” next to your IP address, there is no need to select this option again.

Next to "My IP address," click "Register my IP address."

Toggle Automatically register my IP address on. This is recommended as it automatically tracks changes to your IP address.

Toggle "Automatically register my IP address" on.

If you have enabled Automatically register your IP address, you can keep your IP address updated by using the ExpressVPN app on your device or signing in to your ExpressVPN account occasionally.

When will ExpressVPN remove my IPs?

If you have enabled Automatically register your IP address, your IP address will be deleted if:

  • you don’t use the ExpressVPN app with the registered IP for 30 days
  • you don’t sign in to your ExpressVPN account with the registered IP for 30 days

If you have disabled Automatically register your IP address, your IP address will be deleted if you don’t register your IP address and use the registered IP address for 30 days

For revoked accounts, it can take up to 30 days for the IP to be removed.

If you have a dynamic IP address, it is possible that an IP address that was previously assigned to you will be assigned to someone else later. If someone else registers that IP address with ExpressVPN, that IP will reappear in ExpressVPN’s systems.
