Ipvanish Windows Version Review
Version: 1.3.0.2
Testing Date: Apirl 26th 2013
*We have added our internet speed to compare with result.
– Special thanks to IPvanish, gave us an account for testing for free.
1. When you open it. This is first screen you see. Lots of severs from many locations.There is auto reconnection in case of line drop. You can also pick your preferred protocol to use.
2. Now, we look at top menu. File, Preference, Connection and Support. When we click at File menu. 2 submenu will appear.
Send to tray –> minimize ipvanish program to your system tray.
Forget credential –> delete remeberred account credential.
Exit –> exit ipvanish program
3.Preferences Menu. You can set how you connect to ipvanish with the way you like.
Save login credentials –> Save your ipvanish user/password. So you don’t need to type them everytime when connect.
Start ipvanish when windows starts –> This is recommended if you are always want to go under vpn all the time.
We love “closet server by network latency” function. This one helps up to pick the fastest servers for us without test it one by one.
4. Connection Menu
5. Support Menu
Speedtest
We ran random speed test on 10 US severs and 6 UK severs. (We use speedtest.net) This is the result.
