hey what's up everybody andy here and in today's video we're going to do a quick comparison review
between ipvanish vpn and private internet access now if you've been wondering which
is the better vpn service then you're in the right place the truth is if you are
okay with using a vpn based in the u.s then you can't go wrong with either one of these services
from a security standpoint both vpns have several security protocol options including
openvpn pptp and l2tp they both have aes 256 bit encryption including a cl kill switch feature
and have dns leak protection both companies also have a zero logs policy but since they are located
in a five eyes country that claim could be put to the test now when it comes to bypassing geo
blocks both companies publicly say that they can't access netflix through their servers
although we've had no problem streaming the us and uk netflix while connected to ipvanish
now let's take a look at speed private internet access performed admirably well
when we did our speed test however ipvanish was simply faster when put to the same tasks it was
faster when it came to browsing streaming content and torrenting on the server side ipvanish has 1
000 plus servers spread across 60 countries while private internet access has over 3 500 servers in
33 countries what this means for you is that the private internet access servers are less likely to
become overburdened by users in a specific country since they are more options than ipvanish on the
other hand if you need a vpn in estonia then ipvanish is the way to go one feature we really
like with ipvanish is the server rotation feature which automatically switches your ip address
at specific intervals for additional safety now we always prefer a vpn with 24 hour live chat help
and between these two you can only get that with ipvanish now both private internet access and
ipvanish have an extensive knowledge base and faqs and a ticketing system for responding to emails in
a timely manner uh they they kind of balance out there now when we look at ease of use we didn't
come across any challenges when downloading and installing uh this vpn its software is based on
on functionality and and no frills they pride themselves in having unique features and an
impressive selection of servers in fact recently they released their brand new 2.0 version software
packed with more features including a server map here we looked at criteria such as their logging
payments encryption strengths and additional privacy features we found things such as 256 bit
encryption strength a built-in dns leak protection uh an nat firewall bitcoin payment features
downloading and installing this vpn was also pretty easy and the user interface makes it easy
to connect to the server of your choice private internet access includes a kill switch to protect
your online anonymity in case your vpn connection fails and ipv6 leak protection now if you are in
china you will need to use the l2 tp protocol in order to bypass the great firewall of china
connecting to netflix is not very consistent but if you get lucky you can stream shows that are
only available in the us some of their privacy highlights include no vpn logs
uh 256-bit encryption strength uh it accepts bitcoin and built-in dns leak protection so it
all comes down to which vpn will you choose in our performance tests both vpns were
quite similar and each stood out in a couple of different areas however ipvanish impressed us with
its wide variety of servers and and breathtaking speeds it also has better pricing packages and a
cash refund guarantee proving it's more reliable vpn as compared to private internet access
so thank you so much for watching uh my video if you're interested in trying
out any of the vpns i mentioned in this video i will put a special discount link
that i was able to get for all of you in the description area below so you can save some money
now how to use this chart the above chart shows that there's very little that separates these two
vpns even so one notable which you should always consider before buying any of these services
is the pricing private internet access has three vpn payment options there's one for one month
another for three months and another one for a yearly plan on the other hand ipvanish has two
vpn packages a one month subscription plan and another one for one year so thank you
so much for watching uh my video if you're interested in trying out any of the vpns i
mentioned in this video i will put a special discount link that i was able to get for all
of you in the description area below so you can save some money so if you have any questions
