IPVanish review

IPVanish targets the person who streams mostly on a stick or set-top box. It offers dedicated apps for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Fire TV and Apple TV, setup guides for NVIDIA SHIELD, Chromecast, the onn. 4K box and the Nokia Streaming Box, and VPN routers for smart TVs and consoles. The network has 3,650+ servers in 150 locations, and IPVanish says its streaming page covers services such as Netflix, Hulu, ESPN+, Max and BBC iPlayer. Every plan allows unlimited devices. The Essential plan costs $2.19 a month on the 2-year term, billed $52.56 for the first 2 years, and includes Threat Protection, live 24/7 chat and 3 GB of eSIM data. Kill switch, split tunneling, Double Hop and WireGuard are part of the feature set. The main catch is the monthly plan, which renews at $14.99, so the low rate only works if you commit to 2 years.
