What the Community Says
IPVanish comes up a lot as a solid, everyday VPN that feels fast and straightforward, especially for streaming and Firestick setups. People like it for basic privacy (keeping your ISP from seeing what you’re doing) and some also feel better after reading through the no-logs policy and audit info. It’s often seen as a fair deal for the price when it’s on a good plan.
The biggest complaints are reliability in certain places and networks—some say it’s blocked in restrictive countries (like Russia or Iran) and can be a no-go when traveling there. A few people mention weird routing/location issues (getting placed in the wrong country) or DNS/timeouts that feel like internal network hiccups. Customer support also gets heat for slow or unhelpful replies and refund frustration when things don’t work for a specific trip.
