IPVanish

If geo-restrictions or privacy concerns prevent you from unleashing the Internet’s potential, a VPN tool such as IPVanish could find its way to your list of must-have programs.

The software utility offers to protect your anonymity by hiding your real IP and letting you choose a new identity. How it manages to do so is by means of various servers you can opt for in order to disguise the real IP. More than 60 choices as available in this regard, and they include US, Germany, Japan, Spain, and more.

It is worth pointing out that the app packs neat functionality such as the so-called Kill Switch, whose purpose is to halt our network traffic in case the VPN connection is affected by issues rendering it unsecure.

It should also be said that IPv4 is a given, and that all your traffic is redirected over this protocol, and in case you are afraid that firewalls could impact the OpenVPN connection, the developer claims there is nothing to worry about since IPVanish packs the necessary tools to oppose this behavior.

Moreover, when you are sharing the LAN, the program is capable of preventing other devices from communicating with your computer. Last but not least, you may want to know that, regardless of the configuration you opt for, the app won’t store any of your data.
