Overall, the interface feels cluttered, with too many different ways to connect
(i.e. server connection lists, connection buttons, drop downs, etc). Meanwhile, to
change the IPVanish preferences, you need to do it from the application icon � you
can't do it from the main interface. And, while the graph looks pretty, it doesn't
add any value to the browsing experience. On the plus side, the icon features a
timer.

Performance: Excellent
IPVanish manages its entire network infrastructure in-house, offering unlimited
bandwidth and excellent surfing speeds throughout its global network. To get the
best speed and performance, use the Quick Connect feature with Best Server
Available selected. When this is selected, Quick Connect will choose the best
server for your location. With IPVanish, we found that webpages loaded quickly and
we could watch movies on Netflix with zero latency and buffering. The VPN
connection and disconnection times can be a bit sluggish, but it's not that big of
a deal.
From the IPVanish website: We care deeply about your privacy rights, and we will
never log any traffic or usage of our VPN. IPVanish does not collect, monitor, or
log any traffic or use of its Virtual Private Network service, under any
circumstances, on any platform.

Security Features: Standard
When it comes to security, IPVanish offers the highly secure OpenVPN protocol,
Domain Name System (DNS) leak protection, and a kill switch to keep your
connections private. However, the service is a little lacking in extra value-added
security features. For instance, you won't find things like NordVPN's Double VPN,
or ExpressVPN's TrustedServer technology.
Connections: Up to 10 at a Time
This is an area where IPVanish shines. Unlike many providers (which may provide
five or six simultaneous connections at best), IPVanish allows up to 10
simultaneous connections across multiple devices under one service plan. By
contrast, if you wanted 10 connections with ExpressVPN, you'd need to buy two
service plans. This can make IPVanish a good value if you have a lot of users
and/or devices to protect.
While IPVanish has a no-logs policy, the service's U.S. jurisdiction comes with
some drawbacks.
Final Verdict
Our final verdict is that IPVanish may work fine for you if you're after fast
speeds, unlimited bandwidth, and multiple device connections. But given IPVanish�s
standard feature list, U.S.-based jurisdiction, history of logging (although
IPVanish states they don't currently log), it may be worthwhile to check out other
services first.
