IPVanish Review (October 2026)
A VPN for computers, phones, and the family TV
Overall Rating
Unite.AI may receive compensation when you use links to products we review. This does not influence our editorial evaluations. Read our affiliate disclosure.
IPVanish lets you connect an unlimited number of devices at once, which is useful when a household has several phones, computers, and TVs. Its native Apple TV app also means you can connect a compatible TV without setting up a VPN on the router.
Installing an app on each device gives you separate control over each connection. You can disconnect the TV without changing the VPN on your laptop, for example. Compare any bundled storage or security products separately so you only pay for extras you want.
For our first overall recommendation, see ExpressVPN.
Pros
- Unlimited simultaneous connections
- Native Apple TV app
- Desktop and mobile apps
Cons
- Streaming access can vary
- Bundle benefits depend on plan
- Features vary between devices
Apps and devices
IPVanish supports unlimited simultaneous connections. Its desktop and mobile apps cover everyday use, while the Apple TV app works on tvOS 17 or later. Check each app’s available features; the TV version may not have the same settings as the desktop version.
Security features
The VPN encrypts the connection between your device and its server. Use the official app and review the protective settings available on that device. If a subscription includes other security products, check which ones are included and where they work rather than assuming every plan has the same bundle.
Privacy
IPVanish describes its service as a no-logs VPN. Its handling of VPN activity is separate from the information used to manage your account. The VPN does not clear browser cookies or hide your identity from websites where you sign in.
Everyday use
Try IPVanish on the devices you use most, especially the TV if that is a main reason for buying. A nearby server is a good starting point. If video buffers, compare the connection with and without the VPN; speed depends on your internet connection and the server, and streaming platforms may reject VPN traffic.
Plans and pricing
Check what the selected subscription includes, then compare the complete upfront price with the renewal charge. Storage or security extras may be useful, but they are not essential to using the VPN. Read the refund terms for the offer you choose before committing to a longer plan.
Should you choose it?
IPVanish is worth comparing for a household that wants separate VPN apps on lots of devices, including Apple TV. Its unlimited connections make that easier to manage. ExpressVPN remains our first overall pick for straightforward everyday use.
