    Features & Functionality

    Pros: I've known about VPNs for years, but it's only after we were restricted at home because of Corona Virus that I decided to buy one. I wanted to be able to stream shows and movies. I chose IPVanish because a friend of mine has it and swears by it. All I wanted to do was bring more TV options into my home and it has done that very well. So long as you are not a Netflix fanatic you'll be happy with IPVanish. I can access shows and movies from many streaming services without any problems. Netflix works too, but only if you connect through a few select servers.

    Cons: Like I've said, if you're one of those people who must watch Netflix you may be better off with another VPN. If you are comfortable streaming from other services (which have just as good and sometimes better content than Netflix) then IPVanish is ideal.

    Good Service, and I'll Keep Using

    Pros: I've had IPVanish for more than 3 years. Before the Covid-19 crisis I only used it to secure devices in my home. I like the fact that it doesn't keep logs and there are no data leaks. After we went into lockdown I decided to try it for TV series and shows, and it has worked very well in this respect. So long as you aren't too keen on Netflix you'll be able to stream content from many other services. For Netflix you need to try a few servers to find one that works. Once you find it, remember it so that you can always use it to connect in the future.

    Cons: Apart from streaming Netflix, everything else on IPVanish works as promised. I've seen some people complain about streaming speeds. You have to remember to connect to a server in the country you want to stream from if you want optimal speeds and minimum buffering.

    One or two cons, but otherwise an excellent VPN

    Features & Functionality

    Pros: I've used IPVanish for about a year now and I feel comfortable enough to give a review. In a nutshell, it works. For securing devices and home networks, I've found that it works very well. I haven't had any issues on this front. I'm able to work and visit websites anonymously. I do occasional checks for data leaks and I haven't found any yet. It also works well for accessing geo-blocked content. It's true that you may have to try a few servers to find one that streams Netflix, but I have no problem with that, especially because once you find the right server the streaming quality is excellent. I can access several other streaming services without any problems.

    Cons: My only worry about this VPN is its location - it's based in the United States, which means that the company can be compelled to share data. The company has changed hands a few times a who knows...although there's a strict no-logs policy, it may not always be so when you consider the laws in the United States.

    IPVanish has been great for working from home

    Features & Functionality

    Pros: Our town went into lockdown and I had to work from home. My job involves processing large amounts of sensitive data every day, and our IT manager recommended that I install a strong VPN. He gave me three options to choose from, and I opted for IPVanish. It has worked very well. Though it's been only a few weeks, I haven't had any reason to worry about security breaches. I'm able to process data every day and relay it to the office server without any problems. I also hooked it up for Netflix and I've been able to stream shows and movies from countries that I didn't have access to before.

    Cons: It's been only a couple of months since I chose IPVanish and I haven't experienced any problems yet. if I do, I will definitely be back to update this review. It was easy to install, and getting it to work was a no-brainer.

    I would choose IP Vanish again...

    Pros: I have used IPVanish for my digital marketing side business for about a a year and a half, and it works very well to keep my data and devices secure. However, I decided to write a review after I tried it for unblocking a few channels so that I can watch sports. If you are a keen sports fan, it is a real investment as you can see sports from different parts of the world.

    Cons: There is nothing wrong with this VPN for me. It does everything I want it to and so far I haven't encountered any difficulties that I can talk about here. Now that there are more people buying VPNs to bypass geoblocks speeds may become an issue, but i hope the IPVanish team is up to the task of making sure it remains fast.

    It has been great for bypassing geoblocks

    Pros: I moved to Hong Kong about a year ago and to my frustration I could not access most of the TV channels I watch at home. I decided to try out IPVanish when I realized that most of the expatriates around me use a VPN to access channels like ESPN and BBC iPlayer. It has worked very well and my viewing is back to normal.

    Cons: In the time I have used IPVanish I've been happy with its performance. I'm new to VPNs, and a non-technical user, so I think I'm bound to encounter fewer obstacles. So far I am happy with this software.

    IPVanish Has Been Very Helpful

    Pros: I work in a competitive field where data sabotage happens from time to time and to protect my devices I opted for IPVanish. It hasn't disappointed. I haven't had a single breach from the day I installed it. I am quite happy with it so far.

    Cons: I have seen people give negative reviews about IPVanish, but I haven't had a bad experience yet. Some people complain about price, but think about the fact that you can connect up to 10 devices. I think it comes at a reasonable price point.

    This is probably the best way to secure data for small businesses

    Pros: I run a small business and online security is very important as it reassures my clients. I bought IPVanish a while ago, and I am happy with it. I like that my 8 employees can use it at the same time. It does everything in terms of securing data and keeping devices safe from hackers and other threats. The cost isn't too bad; I am happy to pay what they ask for so long as they continue providing the same level of service.

    Cons: The only times we have problems is when our internet speeds are slow... it takes a long time to connect IPVanish. However, that's a problem with my ISP, not really with the VPN. There isn't much I don't like about IPVanish. It works so well I have yet to try out another VPN.

    Pros: I got this when I went to study in Hong Kong only to find that I could not access a lot of the TV content that I get back home. I also found that lots of people in Asia use VPNs because they are more security conscious. So far it has worked very well for me. Not only can I watch all the shows I usually enjoy at home, I am also able to protect all the content on my devices, which is important because I do a lot of research. This was my first time using a VPN and I'm not disappointed. IPVanish is easy to use and I haven't had any problems so far.

    Cons: I am a light, non-technical user, and so far I haven't had any experience that I can complain about. Since I got it installed it works perfectly, and I plan to continue using it. I see some people complain about customer service, but I cannot comment since I haven't needed to get in touch with them.

    It works

    Features & Functionality

    Pros: I bought IPVanish about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. I like that it is pretty fast... I had tried others in the past and was disappointed. The simultaneous connections are definitely a big plus because I always have multiple devices running and all of them enjoy the same level of protection. The download and installation process is simple and quick.

    Cons: Sometimes the VPN disconnects, and I have to manually reconfigure it. This is rare, but if you aren't very keen and you miss it then your details will be exposed. This isn't a big problem... I think it can happen with any software from time to time.

    IPVanish is better than other VPNs I've tried in the past

    Pros: There are two things that will make me stay with IPVanish for now. It is fast, and it is reliable. I know that when you connect through a VPN your speed slows down a bit, but with IPVanish the loss is negligible. I also like the user interface - easy to understand and you don't have to be a VPN guru to use it.

    Cons: It can take a while to connect when you change networks. It works well when I'm connected to the office LAN but when I get onto public Wi-Fi I have to try several times before I get a connection. Other than that, everything works and I rarely run into hitches.

    This VPN does exactly as promised

    Features & Functionality

    Pros: After using IPVanish for a couple of years now, I can confidently say that I will not be changing to another VPN any time soon unless something drastic happens. It has been a reliable source of protection for all my online activity at home, at a very affordable price. My account allows me to connect up to 10 devices at once so everyone in my family is covered. I'm able to access otherwise blocked platforms like Netflix and Hulu. It works great. I can watch lots of content, including sports which is a big reason for me to stick with this VPN.For privacy I have no complaints; every device I have connected remains anonymous.

    Cons: When I had to connect my Fire Stick I tried to contact customer service only to realize there is no live chat. I submitted a ticket and got a reply but I wish the process could be smoother. However, if you want to connect the VPN directly the process is simple enough and I think the average computer user can get it to work without too many problems.
