Can I install .exe files on my Android?

Installing .exe file

I recently purchased A Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro so am fairly unfamiliar with Android. Been trying to install Easy-Hide-IP VPN but it tells me no application exists to do this. Is it possible to install .exe files in Android?

Not to my knowledge, and it would scare to me try. EXE is Windows talk to my knowledge. What you need is the APK for that to install on Android. If they don't have an APK, you probably can't do it.

And you can't "install" an exe file on Windows, all you can do is run it. (Unless it's an installer, like Setup.exe or Install.exe.)

If you want to use a VPN on Android, there are loads of them. Go to the Play Store, type vpn into the search box and try a few. (Some are a lot better than others.)

Unless your country is blocking you, though (like you're behind the Great Firewall of China), a VPN doesn't really do anything - the IP address of the device using the VPN can now be detected easily, so if you're planning on using a VPN to hide things you shouldn't be doing, it won't. TOR might make it more difficult for them to get you, but they will if they really want to.
