Easy to use, reliable, and the value for money is overall great. You can modify the location and select precisely where you'd like to set up the VPN connection. The only reason I didn't give it 9+ stars is that the quality VPN is not seamless so goggle sometimes thinks your a bot and impeeds certain actions. > > **Cons**: Easily one of the top VPN's out there its great only problems are the internet speed gets reduced to a quarter while using it, it's not seamless so certain applications detect it making it useless and finally some servers are not optimal which may be problematic if you want to connect to a certain server. Overall for its price, it's still quite amazing. The overall interface could use a design touch-up. > > Amazing, close to 0 issues I'm relatively picky so that's not very easily managed but its overall operation and functionality are outstanding. Excellent. ----- ### "Simple and cost effective VPN" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 December 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > Best for travels for easy of use, connectivity, reliability and affordable. ----- ### "IPVanish protects your privacy, however it tends to drop connections often" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *3 March 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: IPVanish has a lot of servers all around the world and the connections were fast. They do not keep logs for the connections, protecting your privacy. > > **Cons**: The connections seemed to drop quite often, they have a kill switch that would block all internet access until you reconnected. It was quite annoying. > > IT is a solid VPN services, but there are some bugs in their system that made to experience less appealing ----- ### "Aki Hubbard-IPV VPN Review" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 November 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most is the privacy. With IP Vanish activated, I can surf the web, conduct online transactions, and stream content with an added layer of security. > > **Cons**: There's not really much to complain about with using IP Vanish. If I had to choose one thing for them to improve on, it would be to include a tutorial that explains how to manually choose the servers with the best reception. > > I use IP Vanish VPN at home for privacy and abroad to stream geo-blocked content. In either case, I have not experienced a problem with this program and for the price, it is well worth its weight. ----- ### "Fast, secure browsing (with caveats\!)" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use with no noticeable loss of speed. Fast enough to stream video without a problem (though obviously, certain streaming websites will not allow you access with VPN enabled). Quick to setup and get going. > > **Cons**: (1) Level of troubleshooting required at times: if you exit the program abruptly, it can be difficult to re-login. There is a Fix DNS button that is often needed but this is not obvious to the user and it is difficult to locate. Some broadband companies restrict the use of VPNs unless you call and request that they change your settings. (2) Limited access to some websites: many financial websites do not allow you to log-in with the VPN enabled. So if you wanted to check your bank or trading accounts from public wifi, you may not be able to do so with VPN protection. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/231403/ipvanish-vpn?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/231403/ipvanish-vpn) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
