I like it for its ease of use and performance consistency. Pros IPVanish is a powerful VPN software which very effectively masks your IP address and enables you surf across te internet anonymously. You can us its single subscription to proctect multiple devices at a time. It as a huge number of servers around the globe to give you a fast surfing speed and to enable you to choose a virtual location according to your choice. Apart from masking you IP, you can also use it to unblock apps and websites like Twitter, BBC etx blocked in certain regions. By changing your virtual location, you can also make apps lie Netflix and Prime tohow you content specific to that region. Also it protects your system up to an extent against xyber threats. Cons IPVanish makes your internet works a bit slowly, specifically while streaming data. Other than that it works all fine. Review Source Lawrent M. owner Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great VPN, but based in a questionable country in terms of zero log policy" May 11, 2022 4.0 It helped me keep my data and communication safe especially in public spaces. We decided to change to CYBERGHOST though. Pros I like the support options (chat and phone) which I don't remember seeing much with other VPN services (I have not used them though, but it's good to know it's there). IPVANISH has tons of IP addresses. It is very easy to navigate through app and connect to any location.The encryption is standard (AES 256) IPVANISH used to not have WIREGUARD (unlike Cyberghost), and since it's the latest state-of-the-art security protocol, It was a big no for me, but now they integrated it to their VPN. IPVANISH has got the killswitch and an autoconnect options which is great to have to avoid any leak. Streaming services are working great for the programs I want to watch. uploads/downloads are solid even if you connect to a far location (itreally depend on your location in regard to the place you connect to). With the trusted wifi networks I also decide when to connect or not to the VPN (as I travel a lot, I use it a lot) Cons The company is in one of the eyes alliances countries and therefore we can question the zero log policy...There are other cheaper VPNs, but IPVANISH is in the usual price range.

If they offered a lite version, their stellar customer service might be enough to draw more crowds, but for almost $100, there are products out there offering way more comprehensive and diversified features. Pros It's such a welcome relief to know that IPVanish has a very personalable, fabulously friendly, actually deal with a real human being focus that other IP and VPN services do not and the VPN streaming options are a great addition to a solid, reliae product. Cons The cost is too much to overlook or get over or even attempt to rationalize, especially considering how densely packed their market is, and for anyone with a little pecuniary knowledge, it's way too easy to find something way cheaper, or free, or even a lite version, that offers the same functional features.

It is not the cheapest VPN on the market, however it has more features than many, there are more servers in more countries than most making it easy to surf the web completely anonymously. The company do not retain activity logs, and should the connection be compromised the VPN can be configured to shut off the internet completely until the VPN is re-instated, a very good security feature. I would recommend IPVanish over many of it's cheaper competitors. Pros Ease of use, IPVanish is a relatively simple VPN available for the desktop and mobile. Cons The mobile version of the product seems to drop out regularly. Review Source William S. Tier III Network Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "IPVANISH Rocks" November 10, 2020 5.0 Amazing service, fast, reliable, and very cheap! It works great for the price you pay and you can browse the internet securely without your ISP monitoring your activity! Pros Fast, reliable, easy to use, and the price is amazing! I use it on my phones, pcs, and amazon firesticks! It just simply works. Price compared to other VPN services is hands down the best. I paid $39.99 for a year of service. There are servers all over the world available for use. The speed from being connected is minimally impacted. The service also keeps no record of logs which is what you need when using a VPN service. I highly recommend their service if you're not using it! Cons Limited to only so many devices per subscription. That's the only con with the software. But, most competitors are the same way. Review Source Damilola M. Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "IPVanish VPN" April 26, 2019 4.0 Pros Based on my personal and usage test Ipvanish has an excellent reliable speed with 10 simultaneous connections to a subscription, Ipvanish chat and email support plus telephone support are 24/7 available. I have used Ipvanish on Android, iOs and Windows the security level is high, noIP address leak, Ipvanish has settings that allow user to personalize privacy features and encryption. Cons Due to mass surveillance in the United States where Ipvanish is based this is really a major drawback for Ipvanish because US is not the best privacy jurisdiction. Ipavnish is a bit expensive than other quality Vpn in the market. Review Source Roshish S. Flutter Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good Overall VPN" October 22, 2023 5.0 Pros IPVanish is a real gem when it comes to internet security. It connects super fast and keeps my online activities private and protected. The fact that they don't log my traffic is a big plus for privacy. It works on all my devices, and the speed is consistently fast. It's also budget-friendly. Setting it up is a breeze, and their support team is top-notch. Whether I'm accessing blocked websites or ensuring my online safety, IPVanish does it all. Cons I noticed that certain websites seemed to be blocked during just standard browsing. Another notable issue was the somewhat frequent connection drops. While they do have a kill switch, which is a plus, it could sometimes be an inconvenience as it blocked all internet access until reconnection.

However, we decided to choose another VPN that seemed to offer more privacy history. Pros Pros of IPVanish: Good availability. IPVanish has a good variety of servers available.Owns own infrastructure. It owns its own network, which means that it's in control of all aspects of its service. Works with almost any deviceTough in security. uses strong encryption with 2048-bit keys for authentication and 256-bit keys for data transfer (the highest possible standard)No logs policy. They do not store any user data, and they have no logs of your browsing history, IP address, or any other data that can be used to identify you.Choice of protocols (OpenVPN, IKEv2, PPTP)The kill switch works! Cons We are not too confident that a US-based VPN provider is a good choice for data privacy. Other than that, the VPN is solid, fast, and does its job.

Pros What I really like of this software is the fact that it almost has a version for every platform. I got it installed on both mac, pc and android which is nice! Cons It would be cool to have the possibility to install it on some of the most common routers to avoid having it on each device Review Source Ruthis D. Graphic Designer Animation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very fast VPN" November 13, 2023 5.0 Pros This VPN solution offers very fast speed download, and strong security measures. Cons It is l'ESS expensive compared to some alternative VPN services Review Source MQ Matthew Q. Creator Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use VPN " June 29, 2022 5.0 We have used this software with no major problems with the exception of the Philippines server being down (or removed). The pricing for new users is very generous and a bargain compared to other VPNs. The speed is very fast if your internet speed is high speed as well. The app has performed equally well among phones and laptops for us. Pros For those who need a VPN to work securely from home or other uses, this must be one of the easiest dashboards to use. From the home screen, you can choose which location you would like to use (i.e. Germany), and make it a favorite. The settings are also easy to understand and you can adapt to your liking. The program usually likes to pick the fastest available servers. Cons Until about a year ago, you could select the Philippines for a location. You can no longer do that. The last time I emailed customer support, they said they were working on the problem, but it has been about a year and it has not changed.

March 21, 2018 5.0 Pros I love IPVanish VPN and it's included software. The software make is easy to get up and running and get you connected to the internet through your new VPN. The software takes care of all the hard work and all you have to do it click connect and it will automatically find the best servers to use and connect you. Cons Sometimes, depending on what server you are connected to, some website features are not available. Also, although you can set up the software to be completely automatic, there are a bunch of features that are not easy to understand and you will need to seek some guidance from online if you want to get full use out of the software and your VPN.

Tax consultant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for secure browsing when travelling, and getting access to some overseas TV websites" March 31, 2020 5.0 I have used this for probably 5 years and found it a generally stable and reliable VPN giving me peace of mind when travelling abroad. When working from home it can give me access to media channels usually blocked to foreign IP addresses. Pros Peace of mind if I am using a hotel or airport wifi . I know my connection is truly private. I also use it to gain access to certain foreign TV, eg in USA when I am in Europe, though the BBC from abroad is normally blocked if using a VPN. Cons i think it slows the connection down, but have not tested this theory. Certain browsing seems to be blocked when using a VPN in a hotel. And I am not talking about anything my wife would worry about! Review Source DW Don W. Semi Retired computer service company owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "IP Vanish - Excellent VPN Software" February 25, 2020 5.0 I used this as my 'go to' software for VPN functionality on my cell phone and my PC until I bought Norton 360 which comes with a good, free, vpn included. That's the only reason I stopped using IPVanish. Pros It does an excellent job of masking my IP address and spoofing my location at places all over the world. It is intuitive, easy to use, and reasonably priced. Cons If you set your presumptive location to a country in which English is not a primary language, you will frequently get directed to foreign-language web pages. I suppose in a way this is a testament to the effectiveness of IPVanish. Review Source Corey S. Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great VPN for the money" June 12, 2018 4.0 Privacy with an easy-to-use interface Pros IP Vanish VPN is easy to use and has applications for multiple platforms: Apple, Android, PC, Roku, etc., and IP Vanish has numerous servers around the world. Cons IP Vanish VPN's customer service is not the best. In addition, IP Vanish is slower than some VPN services. Review Source AK Alexander K. Counsellor Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "IP vanish… more like watch your money vanish " December 17, 2021 3.0 It was a decent program but was priced way too high compared to other similar programs out there. Pros The forward did the job it was supposed to well and the support staff were excellent. It was easy to install and use. Cons Price price price!!! The price was WRONG for this one costing way more than other competitions for offering a product that was on par at best with the competition. I don’t know why they had such a high price tag in this one.

July 16, 2019 4.0 Pros I liked how it was a one click vpn solution, it saved me a lot of time in establishing a connection. Cons I did not like how throttled my speeds were, maybe there was an issue with the server I had selected but I had to bounce to different servers.

Project Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great value" July 7, 2021 5.0 Pros IPVanish is very cheap when you break it down to daily use . There are servers in a lot of regions ( I think about 70 ) and you can switch as needed . Can use it on as many devices as you want with your account . Cons Some of the IPs load and run very slowly .Fortunately you can always change it to a quicker one . Review Source BB Brian B.

You can use one account to connect to multiple devices. It is compatible with many different OS like IOS, android, mac, windows and Linux. Cons There is no free version for users to test. Thee refund policy has a short number of days and dit us very expensive. Review Source chris C.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Aid worker Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and cost effective VPN" December 20, 2022 5.0 Best for travels for easy of use, connectivity, reliability and affordable. Pros My VPN requirements are simple and occasional. I usually use IPvanish when traveling and hence mainly with public Wi-Fi networks. The VPN connects quickly and is able to encrypt internet connection and protect my anonymity. I have always relied it to protect against personal information and online activities being intercepted. I appreciate the ability to mask IP address and replace it with anonymous address. Additionally, the kill switch is spot on. I have experience enough times when the VPN connection was lost and immediately IPvanish would terminate the internet connection automatically. Cons Initially, I would be bothered and frustrated with lost internet connection and VPN kept on dropping or losing connection. However, there has been a great improvement lately and it has been more reliable.
