Unlock and unblock the secrets to safe gaming on the go with IPVanish
How we play is changing, and where we play is changing with it. Whether you find yourself streaming Baldur’s Gate 3 from a PC in one room onto a device hooked up to your TV in another, or have a dedicated handheld for on-the-go gameplay, there are plenty of ways for IPVanish to safeguard the experience, making even a cafe a (hopefully) temporary home away from home.
No matter how many of the big publishers and hardware makers tell us that cloud gaming is the future, it never seems to work out. We’ve all been there. Creator sponsor segments highlight no-nonsense setups that claim to work seamlessly any time you decide playing in the bath is better than grinding the ladder at your desk. So you buy the equipment to give it a go, only to be met with unexplainable hitches, disconnects, and missing machines despite that “gaming-ready” broadband package you signed your life away for during a spot of Black Friday weakness.
It’s never as easy as you hope. But what if it could be? IPVanish and its practical, one-click VPN technology may be able to help iron out the lumps and bumps knocking your streaming dreams to the curb. Rely on IPVanish, and the woes of your distant play sessions could be a thing of the past, ridding the need to run between rooms to tweak all sorts of options that help for all but five minutes before things slow to a crawl. Again, we’ve all been there. And even if it doesn’t pan out, at least your network will be safer for it.
When you’re out and about and gaming on the go, connecting to a public WiFi spot is never really recommended. While a great convenience before the advent of near-worldwide 5G coverage, they’re now often slow, difficult to log into, and worst of all, unmanaged, open, and unsafe. But with IPVanish, if sapping some free WiFi for gaming on the go is still your go-to strategy for away-from-home entertainment, its WireGuard technology can at least secure you, your data, and maybe even smooth out your streaming session.
Thanks to native app support on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, you’re covered on the go, no matter which device you decide to stuff into your travel bag. Find a game that doesn’t like you hiding behind the IPVanish cloak of invisibility? Split Tunneling means you can keep your connection unobscured for just that app or client, while the rest of your online mission stays fervently obfuscated behind IPVanish’s technological magic tricks.
Worried about setting up IPVanish on even more devices? Don’t be. Whether it’s iOS, Android, MacOS, or Windows, the IPVanish setup is easy. Launch the app, and you’re immediately prompted by a clear, concise (and dare we say a tiny bit fun?) tutorial to get you online and protected. You pick your desired location, give IPVanish permission to tweak your network settings, and voila – your IP has vanished to wherever in the world you (or IPVanish) deemed necessary, with a sleek overview of the globe pointing out where your network – and any other connected app on your device – now thinks you are.
Think two is better than one? You’re not wrong. Turn on Double Hop, and you can reroute your internet activity a second time for a literal extra layer of security. And with Kill Switch support enabled with a quick tap in the settings menu, there’s no risk of becoming susceptible to data thieves, hack-attackers, or personal information wardrobe malfunctions should the VPN connection suddenly drop. Your connection lives or dies with IPVanish. A bit dramatic? Hey, your safety is a big deal.
Speaking of wide platform support, unlimited simultaneous device connections mean you won’t have to pick and choose when you’re protected. So long as the source of your connection is covered, so too are the devices hooked up to it. That also means there’s no risk of your smartwatch giving up your personal data after a cheeky peek at your emails. Ditch the public WiFi in favor of your own mobile hotspot backed by IPVanish, and every device connected to it is automatically protected. That cheap “retro handheld” running Android? Locked down. That jailbroken PS Vita running Moonlight to stream from your at-home PC? Caged.
Remember: one-click protection doesn’t have to start and end while you’re out of the house. Your consoles can hide behind the stalwart shield of IPVanish just as easily. By installing IPVanish straight onto the router powering your at-home connection, every device on your network will be protected the second they’re switched on and connected. That means no sneaky traffic snafus, and no chance of bad actors pulling your login details out of the lifestream that basically is today’s internet.
Want to go a step further? You don’t need to carefully nuke your online presence to protect yourself at every level. With a premium IPVanish account, you can hop straight into a fully secure internet exploration session with its purpose-built browser. With no history of your actions ever logged, search results won’t be cherry-picked to maximize the chances of you clicking an ad or buying another “retro” handheld with two joysticks instead of one. Instead, you’ll get exactly the search result any anonymous user would get, all without your private persona being broadcast to nearby nosy onlookers when you instinctively open your social media feed in a public place. Lucky guess, we swear.
The benefits don’t stop at a clean browser, either. A premium IPVanish subscription enables secure storage options as well as generous eSIM data allowances for travel that you can totally use to keep up on Old School Runescape instead of staring at the sand of a faraway beach.
So whether you’re a gamer who’s always on the move, or just so happen to travel around a lot for work, the IPVanish suite of security features will keep your sensitive stuff secret, and your online gameplay habits secure. IPVanish plans start at less than the cost of the artisanal coffee that gets you through your morning. And don’t worry: we’re not going to berate you for spending $5 on a splash of mid-morning bliss. We all deserve a little treat.
