how's it going everybody welcome back today we're going to be talking about the privacy and
anonymity of both node vpn and ipvanish so that you can hopefully determine which one could be the
best for your situation so before we get if you guys are interested in either of these vpns you'll
find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below as well as full reviews
if you'd like to know more about these vpns okay so i just want to point one thing out with
ipvanish and i think it's pretty important to point out and i'll give them credit where credit
is due but you know both nordvpn and ipvanish claim to be zero logs but only nordvpn has it
backed up with an independent audit this became a very real-life issue when ipvanish was asked by
the u.s government to hand over user logs and the company complied which shows that they kept data
on customers and would provide it if requested by authorities meanwhile nordvpn invited global
firm pricewaterhousecoopers to conduct an audit into its logging policies so right off the bat
we can kind of bring out this distinction between nordvpn and ipvanish they're both secure vpns in
their own regard but when it comes to evidence that shows that these vpns do uphold their
no logs policies nordvpn will definitely win that kind of race since they have uh two at least
two independent audits that they ran on their application meanwhile ipvanish does not exactly
have the cleanest slate when it comes to a logging information and handing it over to authorities now
granted there was a criminal uh involved here so you know when it comes to criminal activity
most vpns will ignore their privacy policies and will do their best to cooperate with uh government
authorities in order to bring a criminal to justice and that's exactly what ipvanish did here
and i do not fault them for that so it essentially comes down to uh whether or not the vpn collects
logs and in this case it seems like ipvanish does collect logs and mainly because of course they
still run their servers on hard drives which leaves a physical drive running the server
with plenty of space to store data in meanwhile nordvpn operate their servers on ram drives or
ram disks which leaves little to no physical space for data to be stored in them and whatever little
data is stored is going to be erased with every machine reboot so yeah and of course ipvanish
is based in the united states which is part of the 5 9 and 14 i's jurisdiction while nordvpn
is in panama and panama isn't exactly the best uh country when it comes to data retention laws
but nordvpn does not have any servers based in panama so that's pretty good also nordvpn does
have a warrant canary page while ipvanish doesn't so if they get some kind of government subpoenas
nor vpn will at least let you know while ipvanish will not the u.s government surveils internet
users and shares data with foreign countries as part of the 5 9 and 14 eyes alliances as
i said earlier but nordvpn is based in panama which isn't part of any international internet
monitoring agreements even though they don't exactly have the friendliest data retention laws
you can find out there uh as it is for example with the british virgin islands so privacy wise
i would hand it over to nordvpn when it comes to uh privacy and anonymity so again if you guys are
interested in any of these vpns you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the
description down below as well as full reviews if you'd like to learn more about these vpns and
keep in mind that both these vpns are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee except for the
ipvanish one-month plan that's not covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee nordvpn
will cover everything with a 30-day money-back guarantee though no matter what plan you get
they both have a 24 7 live chat support so you know as you can tell here you have the support
button and with ipvanish the cool thing about them is that not only they have a live chat support
but also phone support in multiple countries as you can tell here so that's pretty cool again
