![]() ![]() We’re still waiting for an answer to our inquiry. There’s no live chat option, unfortunately, so you’ll have to arm yourself with a lot of patience. If you fail to find a satisfying response to your question on the website, the next logical step is to contact customer support directly via web form or email. There’s also a small FAQ page (opens in new tab). Vipre has a section of its customer support site dedicated entirely to Internet Shield VPN, organized into five categories: Get Started, Basics, Manage, Resources, and What’s New. As for its iOS counterpart (opens in new tab), it has a solid score of 4.2 stars, as rated by six users. It was last updated on November 18, 2019, and installed by over 1,000 users. The Android app (opens in new tab) was rated by only five users so far and has 3 stars (out of 5). Internet Shield VPN by Vipre has native apps for iOS, Windows, Mac, and Android. We also don’t recommend any torrenting either as no information about it exists on the website and customer support was non-responsive upon the inquiry. So far, there’s been no independent audit of these claims, so we have no other choice but to trust Vipre not to log any sensitive information, which might be difficult considering its location (the US). The same sentiment is echoed in the provider’s Privacy Policy (opens in new tab). Your browsing activity remains secure and private on our VPN.” ![]() We aren’t told much about the VPN’s no-logging policy on the web page, other than that “Internet Shield VPN by VIPRE does not track, store, or spy on your browsing data while you’re connected to our VPN. Users can also select different automatic options for various types of connections - Unsecured WiFi connection, Any Internet connection, and Never - activate manually. You can even enable the Block LAN Traffic feature to block all local network traffic in addition to Internet traffic once you’re disconnected from the VPN. In case the connection is interrupted, a kill switch will step in and block your entire Internet access, so no sensitive information can leak into the wrong hands. All use the 128-bit SSL encryption and an NAT firewall is deployed on all of its servers.Īs an additional security mechanism in case its VPN connection fails, Vipre provides a so-called kill switch, albeit only on Windows and Mac devices. For example, its Windows and Mac apps use the OpenVPN protocol, its Android version utilizes the IKEv2 protocol, while its iOS counterpart relies on IKEv2 and IPSec. ![]() Vipre’s VPN service deploys PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, OpenVPN (opens in new tab) (UDP and TCP), IPSec, and IKEv2 connection protocols, depending on the used device. Although this is a small number of servers, they are well spread across the world, even in places such as Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Peru, Colombia, and more, where not many VPNs have servers. Vipre operates from Florida, the US, and offers access to 80 servers in more than 50 countries worldwide. ![]()
