IPVanish continues to add new features to their popular VPN software. The latest release of their iOS app adds new functionality. When Apple released iOS 8 it broke a lot of VPN apps. The same has happened with major relases of iOS in the past. VPN providers have been modifying apps to work with iOS 8. When I first saw that IPVanish released an iOS 8 app I assumed it was just a fix. To my surprise the app adds new functionality.
In addition to being fully compatible with the latest Apple iOS 8 release, the IPVanish iOS app adds a number of new features. Here’s a look at some of the new enhancements for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices:
- Single-Swipe VPN Connection – You now have the ability within the app to toggle your VPN connection off/on with ease.
- Visible IP Address and Server Connection – View your publicly viewable IP address before connecting to IPVanish as well as the server location and IP address used once you are connected.
- Automatic Connection – Using multiple wireless networks on your iOS devices? Using the advanced settings, automatically connect to the IPVanish VPN service while accessing public WiFi or similar networks.
- Persistent Connection – Stay connected to IPVanish even if your device is in standby or locked screen mode. This feature is also found in the advanced settings.
