Automated ExpressVPN Device Audits
Every Monday, WebRun signs in to your ExpressVPN account, reads the devices and activations linked to the subscription, compares them line by line against the approved device list you keep, and reports additions, removals, and anything unrecognised to Microsoft Teams, with a short alert to Telegram when something looks off.
How do I audit which devices are using our VPN account?
WebRun signs in to ExpressVPN every Monday, reads the devices and activations on your subscription, and reconciles them against your approved device list. It posts additions, removals, and remaining activations to Microsoft Teams, and alerts Telegram only when an unrecognised device appears or you run out of seats.
- Unrecognised devices are spotted within a week, not at renewal
- Remaining activations are known before someone hits the limit
- Read only in the account, so nothing is ever revoked by the run
Built for IT administrators · security teams · small business owners · remote teams

Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it remove a device or change my subscription?
No. The ExpressVPN step is read only. WebRun lists what it finds and reports it, and removing a device, resetting a password, or changing a plan stays a deliberate human action.
How does it know a device is unrecognised?
It compares the device labels shown on the account against the approved list you maintain. Anything that does not match a known name is reported as unrecognised for a person to confirm or investigate.
Does it send an alert every week?
Teams gets the reconciliation every Monday so there is a record. Telegram only fires when something needs attention: an unrecognised device, or activations running out.
