Digital Security, Privacy, & Freedom

Use IPVanish on every device you own

Why sacrifice the protection of one device for another? We don’t meter simultaneous VPN connections or installations, so you’ll never have to choose. Install the IPVanish VPN app on every device you own to stay secure. 

Connect safely to public Wi-Fi networks

When joining public Wi-Fi networks at coffee shops, public transit, airports, or hotels, your sensitive information can become vulnerable to network owners, digital eavesdroppers, and cybercriminals. Fortunately, a VPN creates an encrypted tunnel for your data to travel through, which helps shield your online activity from prying eyes. With IPVanish VPN, you can connect to public Wi-Fi networks and hotspots more confidently, knowing that your personal data and browsing history are safeguarded against unauthorized access.

Stream with added privacy and stability

Bandwidth throttling is a practice in which your Internet Service Provider monitors your network activity and slows down your internet speeds at their discretion. This ISP interference can be problematic for streaming. Not only are there privacy concerns at play, but there are also performance limitations to contend with. Thankfully, by shielding your home network activity from your ISP, IPVanish increases your digital privacy and lessens the likelihood of throttling in the process. And with dedicated streaming solutions like our Apple TV VPN app, Fire TV VPN app, and more, optimized streaming is easy with IPVanish.

Combat extreme cases of censorship

In some countries around the world, repressive governments partake in surveillance and enforce unjust restrictions and service bans, which threaten online freedom. Even in places where draconian internet regulation isn’t in place, overly aggressive firewalls and content-filtering systems can prevent access to charity, school, and social support websites and applications by mistake. But with IPVanish, you won’t be subject to this geographically imposed censorship. By altering your IP address, you can restore access to sites and services you’ve been wrongfully denied.

What is IPVanish used for?

IPVanish provides a secure environment for everyday internet activity. Once you establish a VPN connection, all of your online traffic (web browsing, video streaming, messaging, file-sharing, etc.) passes through our encrypted tunnel, while your identifying IP address is concealed.

What is a VPN server?

A VPN server is a remote computer system operated by a VPN provider. When you use a VPN, your internet traffic travels to a VPN server before it is sent to its final destination. This journey takes place via secure tunnels. But VPN servers don’t just play a critical role in providing security.

Dedicated IP vs Dynamic IP

With regards to IP addresses offered by VPN service providers, there are two primary types: dedicated IP addresses and dynamic IP addresses. Dedicated IPs, also known as static IPs, are assigned to each individual VPN user and do not change.
Dynamic IP addresses, on the other hand, do not stay the same. These are the types of IP addresses IPVanish offers. By using dynamic IPs, we ensure your privacy is more protected, as dynamic IPs cannot be traced and predicted in the same way dedicated IPs can. Our dynamic IPs are shared amongst subscribers, making it difficult to associate any online activity with individual users. When you use IPVanish, your IP will change during each connected VPN session.  

Prevent Internet Service Provider Tracking

Your ISP plays a key role in your online experience, because they provide your internet access.
But this means they’re uniquely positioned to monitor everything you do with that access. From your search history to your communications and data usage, your ISP can track all of your traffic.
Whether they use this ability to share your information with third parties, interfere with your connection, or encourage you to upgrade your broadband package, ISP tracking has a negative impact on your personal privacy and online experience. Fortunately, you can put an end to it using a VPN. With a VPN connection, your data will be shielded from your ISP.
