IPVanish refuses to honor their own Guarantee—Avoid if you use iOS.

IPVanish is hiding behind Apple’s payment system to avoid fulfilling their 30-day money-back guarantee. I reached out to their support after being charged for an unintended renewal. Even with Apple’s Senior Advisor advising them to provide manual authorization, IPVanish support refused to help, stating their policy is 'isolated' from Apple purchases.

It’s ironic for a 'Privacy and Security' company to act so unethically regarding billing transparency. They take your money through the App Store but hide when it’s time to stand by their promise. Avoid this company if you value customer service and honest business practices.

UPDATE: Their Management team contacted me, only to officially refuse a manual settlement. They hide behind Apple's payment system to avoid honoring their 30-Day Guarantee. DO NOT BUY IF YOU USE iOS. The guarantee is a complete lie.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this situation has caused. We always aim to be transparent and fair with our policies, and it’s disappointing to hear that we fell short of your expectations.

Because Apple manages all transactions made through the App Store within their own secure ecosystem, we unfortunately do not have the technical ability to process direct refunds for those purchases. However, we want to look into your case closely to see how we can better assist you and see what options are available.

Please reach out to our team directly at management@ipvanish.com with your account details. We will prioritize your request and do everything we can to help resolve this for you.

Issues seem to have been rectified

UPDATE: Having spoken with IPVanish they looked into the issues that I was experiencing very promptly. IPVanish have offered and alternative which should rectify the issues that I have been experiencing. Many thanks IPVanish
ORIGINAL POST: Having been a Loyal customer paying annually on a auto-renewal basis - complaining to IPVanish as their product had suddenly stopped working for me. Being told that basically there was nothing they could do (yet other providers having no problems at all) and then being told I could not get a refund or part-refund on my subscription that had incepted less than a month ago - very poor. Joined another VPN service - no issues what so ever.

I’ve been using IPVanish for a while…

I’ve been using IPVanish for a while now, and it has consistently exceeded my expectations. The sheer scale of their network is impressive; they offer a huge number of IP addresses and a massive selection of servers spread across dozens of cities worldwide. This makes it incredibly easy to find a fast, stable connection no matter where I am or what content I'm trying to access.

The performance is where it really shines for me. It works flawlessly on my PC, with a very intuitive interface that stays connected without drops. Even better, it runs perfectly on my Android box, which is usually where other VPNs struggle with buffering or lag. Whether I'm streaming, browsing, or working, the speeds remain top-notch.

If you’re looking for a VPN that provides true privacy with a deep pool of resources and great cross-platform compatibility, I highly recommend IPVanish.

refusal to cancel

After using IP vanish for many years they have bent over backwards to prevent me from cancelling. They are also misrepresenting themselves to my bank, making a charge-back quite difficult.

Go with Proton, it's a much better company and their customer service policies are not predatory.

I tried to get a refund and was rejected and it isn't even 30 days so that 30 day refund policy is bullshit.

Update : I did reach back to them but looks like they still refusing to pay back my refund ...I would stay clear away from this company or whatever ..I'll save you guys the headache...there are other better options out there...please take this advice.

Good product

The product itself is great. Customer service was a bit slow but in the end was very helpful in resolving my issue.

Updated: Initial communication with support was accusatory and dismissive. Room for improvement!

Updating my review: Ale resolved the issue by setting up a new account and providing clear steps to move forward and improve security.

The initial support experience was accusatory and dismissive, so there’s still room for improvement. That said, the service itself works as advertised.

Adjusted rating to 4 stars from 1.

IPVanish cancelled my elderly mother’s account claiming “hundreds of simultaneous connections.” She can barely log into one device.

Either their system is broken or her account was compromised—but instead of investigating, they shut her down and refused to provide real evidence.

No transparency. No accountability. Years of loyalty meant nothing.

Be warned: your account can be terminated without proof—and support won’t help.

We are truly sorry to hear about the experience your mother had with her account. This certainly doesn’t reflect the level of service we aim to provide, especially for a long-term, loyal customer.

Security and account integrity are our top priorities, and it sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding or a technical issue that wasn't properly addressed. We would like to investigate this immediately to ensure a fair resolution.

Please have your mother, or yourself on her behalf, contact us directly at management@ipvanish.com. We will prioritize this request so we can look into the connection logs and discuss the specifics of the account status with you privately.

My membership automatically renewed for $109.99. I called to cancel it and they charged me $31.99 to cancel. Terrible company. My membership started off at $49. After realizing I could not use it on most of my apps I decided not to renew. They charged me $31.99 to to cancel my membership. My next call will be to the Better Business Bureau.
