Advertorial from IPVanish: The opinions expressed in this story may not reflect the position of PhoneArena!
VPN services are pretty popular these days, but in case you don't already know what they do, they create a “virtual private network” with your devices and route your traffic through a secure server before it hits the wilds of the internet. This allows you to hide your IP address and therefore your real location. These servers also often have protection protocols to add an extra layer of security between your devices and malicious actors on the internet.
How IPVanish VPN can be useful for you
IPVanish's main mission is to ensure that the internet remains free from censorship and unreasonable restrictions. By choosing a different virtual location, you can bypass firewalls and blocks or circumvent network throttling. It also protects your connection from tracking by your ISP.
The service also encrypts your browsing data, making it safer to use hotspots and airports, hotels, coworking spaces, or other public places where man-in-the-middle attacks are likely to occur through the Wi-Fi access point.
High encryption standards, multiple connection options
Since the no-logs policy is IPVanish's core business, the company owns and operates its own VPN servers rather than leasing connections in bulk. This ensures that each server meets IPVanish's high standard. Every connection is encrypted using AES-256 – the strongest encryption standard available today – and several connection protocols are available to the user, including the most popular WireGuard, IKEv2, OpenVPN and IPSec.
