Schellman Compliance finished a no-logs audit on 21 February 2025; the report is behind a customer login
About IPVanish
IPVanish sells one subscription with no limit on simultaneous connections, and means it: an independent lab ran eleven at once without hitting a ceiling. The apps are first-party on seven platform families including Apple TV, Android TV and Fire TV, which is broader television coverage than most of the market manages. Threat Protection filters ads and trackers at DNS level on every plan.
What makes the entry worth reading is older than that. In 2016, under previous ownership, the company answered a Homeland Security administrative summons with a subscriber's name, email address, home IP address and the times they connected and disconnected — after first replying that it kept no usage information, then suggesting the agency come back with a more detailed demand. It has changed hands twice since, and Schellman Compliance examined the no-logs claim in February 2025.
The thing to weigh is whether that audit answers the history. The fleet is still, by the company's own account, a mixture of disk-based and RAM-only machines and will not be fully diskless until 2027, so there is more to examine than at services built to retain nothing. A lab found the kill switch leaks after a reboot, a crash and a dropped connection. And the first year costs $46.68 while the second costs $99.99.
