What IPVanish is

IPVanish is a paid VPN service expanding into a broader digital security package. Its VPN hides your IP address and encrypts web traffic on public Wi-Fi. Listed VPN features include WireGuard support, a kill switch, streaming support, and a verified no-logs audit. The service offers iOS, macOS, and Windows applications, with antivirus integrated into the Windows and macOS desktop clients. Antivirus scans hard drives and external devices on demand or on a schedule. Real-time protection covers ransomware, malicious software exploits, and hostile background tasks, while web protection blocks ads, trackers, and malicious websites even when the VPN is off.
