Overall, it's a decent choice. The servers are not the fastest, but offers decent speeds for cloud-based workloads.
It is by far one of the most affordable choices of the longest running VPN providers. The app is easy to install and easy to use. It is quick to deploy to individual users.
Downside was it did not have a server local to my location. The app also caused issues with the internet connection on one computer, but that may be because we have a custom DNS setup.

IPVanish is easy to setup and have a fast connection. The price is "correct", not too pricey and too cheap. Overall the quality of this app is good and i use it daily.
Once you connect to the internet a lot of threads are waiting for you to make a wrong click. IPVanish offers you a security shield whenever you go online.
Rarely happened to drop the connection while browsing.

It helped me keep my data and communication safe especially in public spaces. We decided to change to CYBERGHOST though.
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...
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.

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!
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!
Limited to only so many devices per subscription. That's the only con with the software. But, most competitors are the same way.

I have been using IPVanish as a VPN to protect my identity for the last 4-5 years and always found it to be very straightforward to use. 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.
Ease of use, IPVanish is a relatively simple VPN available for the desktop and mobile.
The mobile version of the product seems to drop out regularly.

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.
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.

Best for travels for easy of use, connectivity, reliability and affordable.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Security, privacy and reliable service with simultaneous connections over all devices has been a great benefit.
This VPN service offers over a thousand worldwide anonymous servers. They claim to keep no traffic logs, which is great for privacy concerns. It integrates with all devices and provides very fast and reliable speed at a reasonable price.
I have not found anything to complain about.

IPVanish does a great job masking an IP address and their VPN is solid and stable but there are too many competitors offering the same experience for WAY LESS MONEY. 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.
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.
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.

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.
Love this software usually run it to get access to web pages I'd normally not have access to and use different server world wide. 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.
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.

Very useful when traveling overseas. Especially to areas that censor and restrict access to some countries.
Installation and configuration are very easy. A huge variety of countries to choose from. Also give you the ability to use a SOCKS5 proxy. Very advantageous when traveling out of the country to areas that restrict access to certain countries or web sites. Can use on multiple devices also.
Cost is a little high. I recommend this software, but I highly suggest waiting to purchase when they have a special discount going on. The regular price without discount seems high. There are other alternatives that are cheaper when paying full price.

IPVanish is a great value if you need the cloud storage it includes. If you don't, you can pay just a little bit more per month and get more powerful VPN like CyberGhost or NordVPN. Some of their long-term contracts are actually a similar price.
IPVanish is a pretty good VPN, with good security and privacy features and pretty fast speeds. Its most impressive aspect is that it includes 250 GB of cloud storage totally free, so if you need a storage solution and VPN it's a great value. If you don't need the extra storage, there are better VPNs out there for only slightly higher prices.
IPVanish doesn't unblock very many streaming sites. It also doesn't work in China. Although its servers are torrent-friendly, it doesn't have specialized P2P servers optimized for file sharing.

It was a decent program but was priced way too high compared to other similar programs out there.
The forward did the job it was supposed to well and the support staff were excellent. It was easy to install and use.
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. After

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 .
Some of the IPs load and run very slowly .Fortunately you can always change it to a quicker one .

I like how simple the VPN is. No fiddling around with network settings or anything like that. Just hit Go, and you're on! It's also very affordable.
Sometimes it isn't great at choosing the server that's closest to me - It'll often pick one halfway across the country and I'm not sure why.

IPVanish uses 256-bit AES encryption which is very secured for browsing. You can use one account to connect to multiple devices. It is compatible with many different OS like IOS, android, mac, windows and Linux.
There is no free version for users to test. Thee refund policy has a short number of days and dit us very expensive.
