Generally I am happy with Ipvanish

Generally I am happy with Ipvanish. Sometimes it is a little slow to populate a new IP address. Also to renewal fee after the first year is a little steep. $170.00 for a year is too much for the amount of time I use this program. This will force me to find another next year when my subscription runs out. Cheers.

Beware of auto-renewal

I haven’t used IPVanish for a long time. My subscription was auto-renewed without receiving the reminder email that their FAQ says should be sent. After contacting support, a refund was promised, but a discounted new annual plan was applied to my account without my consent, even though I had clearly stated I wasn’t interested. The issue was only resolved after multiple messages.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are truly sorry for the frustration caused by the renewal process and the subsequent confusion regarding your refund and account plan. This certainly does not reflect the seamless experience we strive to provide our customers.

While we are happy to hear the issue has been resolved, we would like to look into the breakdown in communication regarding your reminder email and the unauthorized plan change to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Please reach out to us at management@ipvanish.com so we can prioritize a review of your case and ensure everything is right with your account.

I called to cancel my service

I called to cancel my service, due to not using it, THAT being because if ignorance to the program. I was not "schooled" on the benefits of the program when I signed up several years ago, therefore never made good use of what I was paying for. Luis M. however, took time with me to explain the program and actually saved your company an account. He is a very patient, kind young man, very knowledgeable of his job and the program's benefits. I would like to commend him for an excellent job, and hope he receives due recognition.

I did think ipvanish worked really well…but beware

I did think ipvanish worked really well I did actually like it very much. But I had a problem when I came to cancel my subscription. I don't like dealing with company that make it very difficult to end a subscription and decide to trap people when they want to cancel.
