#IVACY WIREGUARD MAC OS#

Overall, it’s a polished desktop app that offers a user-friendly experience, but if you’re a Mac OS user, it lacks the ability to choose your protocol and other important features.

Note : An Ivacy representative told me that the OpenVPN protocol is available to Mac users, but it requires the download and configuration of the 3rd-party Tunnelblick software.įinally, it’s possible to create a support ticket within the app and manage your subscription – although in both cases it often bumps you over to your preferred internet browser to complete the task. It’s a shame, since there are quite a few Mac users who would benefit from many of these features as well. In fact, if you’re a Mac user, you also won’t have access to other Ivacy features such as:

#IVACY WIREGUARD WINDOWS#

Windows gives you the option to change the protocol, but nothing more.

Mind you, this is specifically for the Mac OS platform. You can start the app in a certain mode (one of the three smart connect menus) and you can setup launch, auto-connect and re-connect, but… If you’re wondering where the rest of the settings are, so am I. So how do all of these features look in the desktop and mobile apps? Let’s take a closer look.

It’s an added fee (extra $1.99/mo), but there are advantages with a dedicated IP VPN. Add-Ons: Ivacy is once of a few services that offers a dedicated IP, which means that you can pay for a static IP address to be assigned to you.In this way, you’re not encrypting all of your internet traffic and you have control over which websites get the extra security treatment. You can tell Ivacy to automatically connect to a VPN anytime you access certain websites that you choose. On-Demand VPN: Ivacy markets a feature they call “on-demand VPN”, which is basically just a better version of VPN split tunneling.Choose your reason for connecting and the app will automatically choose the appropriate server and protocol for you to use. For those users who aren’t tech-savvy, Ivacy breaks down their app into three primary use cases: 1) Streaming, 2) downloading and 3) unblocking. Smart Connect Feature: Ivacy’s Smart Connect feature is one of my favorite aspects of their software.Honestly, this is on the cusp of being a “standard” feature, although there are still a few major VPNs that limit you to between 4-6 simultaneous connections (such as ExpressVPN, NordVPN and VyprVPN). Simultaneous Connections: Ivacy offers 10 simultaneous connections.

Over the time that I’ve been using the software apps on my laptop and tablet computers, there are only a couple things that really stand out as being “unique”. So if these standard features are, well…standard, then it’s important in this Ivacy VPN review to explain what’s unique. Anything less isn’t worth my time or yours.

#IVACY WIREGUARD TV#

Ivacy does a great job of offering beautiful apps for pretty much every platform you can think of using, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Amazon Fire TV and even Kodi.Īs I said earlier, these are the features that I expect any VPN I use to offer.

Dedicated Platform Apps: When you’re using a consumer VPN, the last thing you want is to have to manually set up the connection.

Aside from the IPVanish VPN, which goes above and beyond with phone support, this type of customer support is on-par with every other service in the industry.

Customer Support: Ivacy offers both email and live chat support for their customers.

No Log Policy: Ivacy VPN boasts a zero-log policy, but I’m only going to say this once: most everything you read about the importance of a no-log policy is a joke and even if it wasn’t, zero-log policies are a lie.

This is far more than you’ll ever need or use, but again, this is standard.

Server Spread: Ivacy gives you the option to choose from 1,000+ servers spread across 30+ countries around the world.

This is certainly the kind of encryption you want to have when you’re connecting to a VPN, but it’s also standard across the industry.

Security & Encryption: Ivacy talks about having “military-grade” 256-bit encryption on their website.

Here’s a list of the features Ivacy VPN offers that are certainly good to have, but don’t make them particularly special. It’s like a car salesman saying “this car comes with four wheels!”. Standard Features of Ivacy VPNĪs with any VPN review that I do here on All Things Secured, I don’t make a big deal out of the features that I think should be standard in any VPN today. every VPN has them) and those that are unique to the service.

So with these pros and cons in mind, I want to continue this Ivacy VPN review by explaining two categories of features: Not developed or marketed by native English speakers.OpenVPN not natively available on all platforms (namely, MacOS & iOS).
