Why IPVanish Keeps Disconnecting, and How Speedify Holds the Connection

Unbreakable VPN Connection to Fix IPVanish Disconnects by Combining Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL with Speedify

IPVanish keeps disconnecting when the one internet connection it runs on stalls, even for a second or two: weak Wi-Fi, a busy hotspot or a phone moving between cell towers. Swapping IPVanish for another VPN that leans on one internet connection usually brings the same dropouts under a new logo. If IPVanish hangs on connecting instead, see what to do when IPVanish freezes.

Speedify is an app that protects your traffic the way a VPN does, but it uses Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, wired Ethernet and Starlink at the same time, so a hiccup on hotel Wi-Fi shifts your traffic to your phone’s 4G/5G cellular instead.

This post explains why IPVanish keeps disconnecting, gives you five fixes to try, and shows what you get once Speedify is doing the work: an encrypted internet connection that survives a weak Wi-Fi moment. Speedify’s speed and failover gains need two or more internet connections; on a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and can be a little slower.

Why IPVanish Keeps Disconnecting: One Internet Connection Carries Everything

Like most VPN apps, IPVanish sends all your traffic to its VPN server over one internet connection. Even if your laptop, iPhone or Android device has Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular available, the VPN tunnel runs on only one of them, so every packet takes that one route to the VPN server and back.

Relying on one internet connection also makes the VPN fragile. One change in your Wi-Fi signal or a dip in your cell signal, and IPVanish loses its VPN server. On a train, bus or car, drops come more often, because your device keeps moving between Wi-Fi networks and cell towers. The same thing happens with most VPNs; here is why a VPN connection keeps dropping.

Why IPVanish Is Slow and What Helps

IPVanish slow speeds have the same root as the drops. Every VPN, IPVanish included, encrypts your traffic and sends it through its own server first, so speed falls most when that server is far away or busy, or when the one internet connection under the VPN is weak. A closer IPVanish server usually helps. Speedify adds speed only when it has two or more internet connections to combine; on one connection, Speedify is also a little slower than no VPN.

5 Steps to Fix IPVanish Connection Drops

These five steps lower the chance of IPVanish disconnecting. None of them removes the cause: like most VPN apps, IPVanish runs over one internet connection at a time, so when that connection stalls, the VPN drops.

  1. Only connect through Wi-Fi where you have a strong, stable signal and where no one else is sharing the connection.
  2. Stay in one place while connected: moving between Wi-Fi networks or cell towers makes the VPN reconnect.
  3. Try a different IPVanish server closer to you, or a different VPN protocol in the IPVanish settings.
  4. On 4G/5G cellular, connect where the signal is strongest.
  5. Update the IPVanish app, or reinstall it if it keeps logging you out or freezing.

How Speedify Keeps the VPN Connected When One Internet Connection Drops

If these steps do not stop the drops, there is another option. Speedify is a mobile VPN platform: an app that combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections and encrypts your traffic like a VPN. The Speedify protocol was designed from the ground up to be:

  1. Fast
  2. Secure
  3. Reliable

Speedify works differently from traditional VPNs: Speedify connects to the VPN server over several internet connections in parallel and splits your traffic across them packet by packet, so your data can use more than one route at once.

Speedify’s technology for combining internet connections gives your iPhone or laptop the bandwidth of multiple Internet connections at the same time, for example Wi-Fi plus 4G/5G cellular, instead of only the one connection a traditional VPN uses.

Speedify has automatic failover: if one of your internet connections fails, you stay connected to the VPN through the other one, with the same public IP address, so calls and logged-in sessions do not see a new address and do not reset. HideMyAss users run into the same drops; here is why HideMyAss VPN disconnects.

Speedify checks the quality of each internet connection and reroutes traffic on its own, so you do not have to manage any of it.
