Along with IPVanish VPN, only Avira Phantom VPN, Ghostery Midnight, Editors' Choice winner Surfshark VPN, and Windscribe VPN place no limits on simultaneous connections. In addition, the resources needed to police device limits often come at the cost of customer privacy. This makes IPVanish a good value (you can literally protect more devices for your money). IPVanish places no limit on the number of devices you can connect simultaneously, as opposed to most other VPN companies that limit users to just five devices. Editors' Choice winners Mullvad VPN and IVPN both let you pay for subscriptions anonymously with cash sent directly to their respective HQs. If you're looking to use Bitcoin, prepaid gift cards, or some other anonymous method of payment, you're out of luck with IPVanish. You can pay for the service with any major credit card or PayPal. It also offers flexible pricing, making it very accessible. ProtonVPN has the best free option, placing no data limits on free subscribers. TunnelBear offers a free subscription, but limits users to just 500MB per month. If price is a major concern, consider a free VPN, instead. Mullvad, an Editors' Choice winner, notably offers more privacy tools than IPVanish-multi-hop connections in particular-and it sticks to its single pricing tier of €5 per month ($5.64, as of this writing). Many services charge more than the average, but if they back up that price with valuable features, it's still a good value. IPVanish VPN costs $10.99 per month, which is slightly above the average monthly price of $10.14 among the field of VPNs we've tested. (Editors' Note: IPVanish VPN is owned by Ziff Davis, PCMag's parent company.) More concerning is that the service does not offer the depth of privacy features found in Editors' Choice winners such as ProtonVPN or Mullvad VPN and the fact that it has yet to release a third-party audit to validate its privacy practices. While its interface gives you fine-grained control of your VPN connection, it's neither modern nor particularly pleasant to use. It also offers a widespread array of servers across the globe, covering some regions ignored by competitors. IPVanish VPN provides good value, allowing subscribers to use as many devices as they want at the same time. Using a virtual private network (or VPN) can help improve your privacy by making it harder to track what you do online and keeping your ISP from monitoring your activities.
