Automatic Startup

Automatic startup (included in ‘On Demand’ for iOS users) ensures your VPN connection activates as soon as internet traffic is detected on your device. This feature offers convenience and continuous protection without manual intervention. It’s beneficial for consistently maintaining a secure connection, as it starts securing the moment your device connects to the internet, whether upon device startup, a background application launch, or while switching networks. This means you’re protected by your VPN when you need it most, providing peace of mind and enhanced security for all your online activities.

Threat Protection

Online dangers such as annoying ads and malicious websites are a constant challenge. To thwart these threats and boost your browsing experience, IPVanish offers Threat Protection for iOS, Android mobile, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple Vision Pro devices. This innovative feature employs custom DNS and safelist filters to block intrusive ads, trackers, and dangerous websites. By shielding you from these common online hazards, Threat Protection secures your data and helps ensure your digital environment is free from unwanted interruptions.

VPN Kill Switch

A VPN Kill Switch is a critical security failsafe built to better ensure your VPN privacy. If your VPN connection unexpectedly drops, the VPN Kill Switch activates, instantly suspending all internet traffic to and from your device. This immediate action ensures that your data remains protected, preventing any exposure or vulnerability that could occur during lapses in your VPN connection. It’s an essential tool for maintaining continuous security, especially when dealing with sensitive information. Gain peace of mind knowing that your online activities remain confidential even in the face of connection leaks and network disruptions.

Fire TV Kill Switch App

While recognizing some systems’ limitations with simultaneous VPN tunneling and network kill switches, IPVanish has an innovative answer to the challenge. Our development team crafted a unique solution: the IPVanish Fire TV Kill Switch App. This dynamic companion app to IPVanish VPN significantly enhances the protective capabilities of our primary VPN service. Specifically designed for environments where traditional VPN features face constraints, this app helps ensure that your privacy is never compromised, providing a failsafe for any network disruption on your Fire TV devices.

On Demand

Our iOS On Demand feature allows you to activate IPVanish VPN whenever you connect to the internet, but it does more than that, too. On Demand allows you to establish rules for how your VPN automatically operates. You can pre-select which networks you recognize as safe, choose whether to automatically trust or secure cellular networks, and even add specific web domains to initiate a VPN connection automatically. This flexibility allows iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro owners to seamlessly integrate IPVanish VPN into their daily internet use and achieve maximum privacy protection in the process.

Split Tunneling By App

Split tunneling revolutionizes your privacy by enabling selective application routing for a customized online setup. This VPN feature allows you to choose which apps use the VPN for enhanced security and which connect directly to the internet for better performance. It’s ideal for managing bandwidth, accessing geo-restricted content while maintaining local network connectivity, and balancing security with efficiency. By customizing your connection, split tunneling meets diverse digital needs, from securely streaming media to maintaining the fastest access to local services.

Split Tunneling By Domain

Split tunneling by domain transforms your privacy experience by providing selective website routing options in your personal VPN setup. This functionality empowers you to designate specific websites that can function independently of the VPN, optimizing their performance while ensuring the security of the rest of your network traffic. Available for our Windows, macOS, iOS, and visionOS VPN apps, this feature is beneficial for bandwidth management, preserving access to local connections, and striking a balance between security and efficiency.

Network Features

2,400+ Servers in 90+ VPN Locations

IPVanish operates an extensive network of over 2,400 VPN servers across more than 90 VPN locations worldwide.

This vast range of servers lets you choose your virtual location, giving you complete control over your online presence. Whether traveling or seeking access to websites from different parts of the world, the VPN helps ensure a secure and high-speed connection is always within reach. With IPVanish, a safe online experience can be found, no matter your geographic location.

SOCKS5 Proxy

Our SOCKS5 proxy is a technology designed to enhance your internet experience by combining increased speed with improved IP address privacy.

Unlike more traditional proxies, SOCKS5 does not include encryption, which means it can offer faster speeds, making it an excellent choice for activities where speed is crucial but privacy and security less so. This proxy type provides a more flexible and efficient way to mask your IP address, offering a layer of anonymity without the overhead of encryption found in VPNs. The SOCKS5 proxy stands out as a versatile option for those who prioritize speed and simplicity while still seeking a degree of privacy in their online activities.

High-Speed Surfing

Enjoy all the benefits of VPN without sacrificing your speed in the process. Our VPN service has been engineered to provide the quickest connections possible.

This means faster browsing, faster downloads, and faster streaming, all while maintaining robust security and privacy. Whether you’re engaging in everyday internet browsing, streaming high-definition content, or conducting large file transfers, our VPN provides the speed you want without compromising on the security you need.

Shared IP Addresses

IPVanish enhances online anonymity by providing over 40,000 shared IP addresses. These IP addresses are dynamic and shared amongst all subscribers.

This makes it nearly impossible to trace online activities back to any individual user. This approach also significantly masks your identity and online location, ultimately increasing your privacy. Shared IP addresses are an effective way to blend your digital footprint with other users, offering more anonymity and security in your online interactions.

DNS Leak Protection

DNS leak protection is an essential security feature that is automatically enabled in our service to safeguard your online privacy.

All your internet traffic, including website requests, is securely routed through the VPN’s encrypted tunnel. This built-in leak protection prevents DNS queries from being exposed to external networks, effectively concealing your true location and internet activities from potential eavesdroppers. Keeping your DNS requests within the private network helps ensure that your online identity and location details remain confidential.

Multiple Connection Protocols

IPVanish offers a range of VPN protocols, including WireGuard®, OpenVPN, IKEv2, and IPSec, catering to diverse speed, obfuscation, and security requirements.

This variety allows users to select the protocol that best suits their needs, whether prioritizing faster connection speeds, enhanced security, enhanced privacy, or a balance of both. WireGuard® offers cutting-edge speed and security, OpenVPN is renowned for its flexibility and Scramble properties, IKEv2 is known for its speed and stability on mobile devices, and IPSec is widely used for its strong encryption capabilities. This protocol variety ensures that IPVanish users can enjoy a tailored VPN experience optimized for their individual online activities.

How VPN Works: Step-by-step

App Launch

You open the IPVanish VPN app, which acts as a control center for your online privacy.

Server Connection

When you select a server, your device creates a secure connection to it. This server acts as a middleman for your internet activities.

Data Tunneling and Encryption

Your data travels through an encrypted ‘tunnel’ to the server. Encryption transforms the data into a code to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring that your online actions are private and secure.

IP Address Shielding

The server assigns you a new IP address, concealing your actual location and identity. This makes it difficult for websites and advertisers to track you.

Secure Browsing

As you browse the internet, the VPN server processes your requests, maintaining your anonymity. Your data appears to originate from the VPN server, not your device.

Data Return

The encrypted data is sent back to you through the secure tunnel, maintaining privacy and security throughout the process.
