What are the cons of IPVanish VPN?

IPVanish's top 10 reasons to choose them as your VPN provider: Fast.

In my experience IPVanish really is the fastest VPN provider I've ever used (I didn't do a comparison in this article). However, I'm no network engineer, so I was mainly checking on speed in the app (which I only had access to for my own review), so not sure how they stack up against others.

Simple. IPVanish's apps are pretty straightforward to use and there are no complicated options or anything like that. IPVanish offer apps for the iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices and they're also available for Windows and Mac. Also, I'm pleased that they're offering apps for the Apple TV too.

Support. The IPVanish customer service was quick, friendly and helpful to me - probably a reflection of how much the company rely on support from their customers (as noted below).

Unlimited money back. There are lots of different subscription options but I'd recommend the annual subscription. If you find yourself using it more often than you'd expected, then it won't hurt your wallet and it comes with an excellent money back guarantee (though obviously not unlimited).

Great apps for Android and iPhone. IPVanish have apps for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets and they're super straightforward to use.

Good apps for Apple TV. There's an app for the Apple TV that looks easy to use.

Unblock stuff. Some IPVanish servers 'unblock' popular streaming sites so you can watch Netflix USA, CBS and HBO through its IPVanish server.

Unlimited data. With IPVanish you get a lot of Internet access (unlimited) through the server with no throttling - you also get a lot of usage for free. I'm guessing that most users wouldn't notice any extra data used but at least you won't get throttled.

Fantastic community. IPVanish is renowned for its customer support and if you get stuck it's a great place to turn to for help. They also have an active Reddit and Facebook communities and if you use those channels it's easy to get answers to problems.

What is the IPVanish controversy?

The question whether it is legal to sell Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) has been answered already at the EU level. If you haven't read it yet, check out EU vs. Facebook for more information. The outcome is that it is basically legal to sell VPN services under some conditions (for example, you have to be transparent about where your users will go, you should be aware of what their activities may look like to your customers and provide means to protect customer data). Of course, there are some exceptions to the general rule, and a certain number of VPN providers, also in Germany, have been shut down for illegal behaviour. However, no matter how the law is written, this is not about to change.

IPVanish. This all means little to me as a provider of VPN services and I wouldn't even care about a few legal disputes with my competitors, but for many of my customers it's a problem. Why? Well, because they have a relationship with IPVanish and because it might hurt this relationship when something strange happens.

Let's take a look at how IPVanish and their customers are related: We're all friends! Image by Google. What is an ISP, anyway? I know you think this post isn't for you, but it's time you heard. An ISP is an Internet Service Provider.

In North America we use the term telephone company and in Europe we use the word post office. But, if you ever had a phone line or an Internet connection in Germany (or France, Austria or Denmark, for that matter), then you know about an ISP. You could also have Internet at home. Some people have cable television, too, although I'm not sure if that counts as ISP anymore.

If you lived in any one of these countries long enough, you might have noticed that your ISP changed. One time it was Telekom Deutschland (who sold ADSL and now offers only phone services), then Telefonica Digital came along and gave German households a choice of multiple DSL providers and a different kind of phone number than those who used Deutsche Telekom. Then there were the people who sold DSL by giving their customers different DSL rates depending on the time of day or the distance to the nearest cabinet. They all worked the same and were all an ISP.
