VPN services are pretty popular in this day and age, but in case you haven’t heard of what they do – they create a “Virtual Private Network” with your devices and route your traffic through a safe server before it hits the Internet wilderness. This allows you to hide your IP address, and thus — your actual location. Said servers will also often have protective protocols in place to add an extra layer of security between your devices and malicious actors online.
How IPVanish VPN can be useful to you
IPVanish’s main mission is to ensure that the Internet remains free from censorship and undue restrictions. By choosing a different virtual location, you can circumvent firewalls and blocks, or bypass network throttling. It also secures your connection from ISP tracking.
The service also encrypts your browsing data, which makes it safer to use hotspots and airports, hotels, coworking spaces, or other public places where “man in the middle” attacks over the Wi-Fi access point are likely to occur.
High encryption standards, multiple ways to connect
Since the “no logs” policy is at the core of IPVanish’s business, the company owns and operates its own VPN servers instead of leasing connections in bulk. This allows it to guarantee that each server meets IPVanish’s high standard. Every connection is encrypted with AES-256 — the currently strongest encryption standard available —, and multiple connection protocols are available to the user, including the most popular WireGuard, IKEv2, OpenVPN, and IPSec.
