IPVanish

IPVanish distinguishes itself by owning and operating its entire server infrastructure — a rarity in the VPN industry where most providers rent server space from third parties. This gives IPVanish direct control over server security and reduces the risk of third-party interference.

The unlimited simultaneous connections policy makes IPVanish a practical choice for households with many devices. Combined with the included SugarSync encrypted cloud storage (250GB), you're getting solid value for the price.

Torrenting performance is a highlight, with SOCKS5 proxy support enabling fast P2P downloads while maintaining anonymity. The split tunneling feature allows you to route only specific apps through the VPN, optimizing both speed and functionality.

The past logging controversy (2016) has been a shadow over IPVanish's reputation, but the company has since undergone ownership changes and commissioned independent audits to verify their current no-logs practices.
