IP Vanish is a program that masks your IP address while you browse the internet. This provides its users with the possibility of visiting websites that are blocked in their country.

A new sense of freedom

One of the best choices for Mac users looking for top-notch online privacy.

If you’ve ever wanted to hide from prying eyes, then you’ve most likely heard of virtual private networks. IP Vanish is one of these. When you connect to the internet, you’re given a special tag that tracks your whereabouts in the expansive web. This program replaces your “tag” with a fake one and renders any tracking of your movements useless.

Tor is a browser with this feature built-in. Sure, this alternative provides deeper security, but it can be slightly unnecessary. Also, your connection can be extremely slow. IP Vanish tosses some of these features out the window to improve your speed while browsing. It sticks to the essentials because most users only want a sense of privacy.

Also, this application does not keep any logs. You’re the only person that will know what has crossed your screen. Some competition, like Onavo Protect, actually keep tabs on what you search online. This basically defeats the purpose, so you’re better off using IP Vanish.

Something that stands out here is the use of modern encryption. The optimal choice for this is AES-256. And, yes, this is the same level of encryption used by the top security agencies and many governments around the world. This level of protection even prevents hackers from accessing your data.

Where can you run this program?

This application runs on Mac, Android, and iPhone. It’s also available for Windows 7 and later.

Is there a better alternative?

No. This program stands out especially for Mac users, considering the limited options for the operating system. TunnelBear VPN is a great choice, but it doesn’t include as many features.

Our take

It is simple, easy to use, and maintains a fast connection. This program is a great choice for anybody looking for some extra privacy.

Should you download it?

Yes. It’s a lightweight program that gets the job done. The competition is lacking, so you’re better off giving this one a try.
