IPVanish


IPVanish is a worldwide online privacy and freedom advocate. Providing secure access to shared IPs and servers in 75+ locations, IPVanish consistently tests as the fastest VPN service globally, while maintaining industry-best security, reliability, and privacy protection standards.

 

IPVanish VPN is kicking off the new year by expanding their network even further, putting them at the top of the VPN game with faster speeds. Customers can expect quicker connections than ever before while still benefiting from the award-winning VPN service's privacy and security features as a result of this infrastructure upgrade.

IPVanish's most recent hardware version combines AMD Epyc series processors with Intel's XXV710 network cards to provide 25 Gbps of bandwidth. These servers, which have a 2.5x increase in network throughput capacity per server, were first seen in IPVanish's Ashburn data center in February. We updated our key data centers in Amsterdam, Ashburn, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Frankfurt, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Miami, New York, Paris, San Jose, Seattle, Seoul, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto, and Warsaw during 2020.

 

“IPVanish is happy to be entering 2021 with a better network, and we're not stopping there,” stated Wayne MacLaurin, SVP, Technology at IPVanish. “Further developments are planned for this year as IPVanish continuously examines the performance of our network and adapts our infrastructure to meet the demands of our customers.” WireGuardR will be deployed across our network in early 2021, providing more performance enhancements to our client base.”

 

IPVanish continues to set the standard by addressing consumer needs without sacrificing performance, with a 4.7/5 TrustPilot rating, live chat and phone support, and security for an unlimited number of devices.

they support multiple VPN connection types to make IPVanish as powerful and adaptable as possible. Below are some details and tips for using them to help you decide which one is best for you

Which VPN protocols does IPVanish provide?

WireGuard®

WireGuard is a new VPN protocol that is supposed to be quicker, stronger, and lighter than current connection kinds. WireGuard is still in development as an open-source project, but it is already regarded as one of the most secure VPN solutions in the business. WireGuard is currently only available through IPVanish's beta releases. they invite subscribers to join the IPVanish Beta Program in order to gain access to early releases.

 

IKEv2 (Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2)

IKEv2, a protocol made available exclusively through IPSec, is used to configure the security association, or the specific approach to how IP packets are encrypted over IPSec. While IKEv2 is only available in newer mobile devices, it is considered a more secure extension of the IPSec protocol because devices can switch between a Wi-Fi and cellular network without disrupting the VPN connection.

      OpenVPN

Use this protocol whenever possible. Allows for multiple types of authentication methods, but ultimately uses SSL/TLS (similar to your web browser) for key exchange. While it typically offers faster access speeds than L2TP, it also requires a third-party software and certificate files to be installed in order to use it — unless, of course, you’re using the IPVanish software. Also, support for mobile devices is limited.

  • TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
    OpenVPN over TCP is the most popular and reliable VPN connection type. It uses error correction to prevent the loss of information packets during data transfer. These lost packets would ultimately lead to failed websites and incomplete downloads if not for TCP’s automatic retransmitting of them.

  • UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
    OpenVPN over UDP is often faster than TCP due to having no error correction. While lost packets are inevitable using UDP, certain web technologies are better experienced this way, particularly VoIP and online gaming, where real-time interaction would be interrupted by old, retransmitted data.

 

L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol)

L2TP is best for mobile devices that are not compatible with the OpenVPN protocol. While L2TP fixes the vulnerabilities in PPTP, it may result in slower speeds than OpenVPN. Also, because it uses multiple ports, it can be more difficult to configure on a router.

IPSec (Internet Protocol Security)

IPSec is a protocol suite that encrypts IP packets for transport and tunneling. Available for most mobile devices, IPsec protects all application traffic over an IP network. But unlike OpenVPN, PPTP and other connection types, IPSec does not define a particular encryption algorithm or an authentication function in and of itself -- it simply provides a framework for secure transport.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)

While PPTP is typically used on older operating systems and dated mobile devices, it is the protocol that is most likely to work when the rest are failing. Because of many known security vulnerabilities, however, PPTP is only recommended as a last-resort for low-risk speed-intensive browsing, like streaming video.
