Unbreakable VPN Connection when IPVanish Hangs: Combine Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL with Speedify
If IPVanish is not connecting or hangs on the connecting screen, the IPVanish app is usually stuck or its server is busy, with one internet connection carrying everything. A frozen VPN app leaves your internet traffic unprotected and your work stopped. Speedify is a VPN app that uses Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, wired Ethernet, Starlink and other internet connections at the same time, so your traffic stays connected and encrypted when one of them goes quiet.
What follows covers the fixes to try in IPVanish, plus what using Speedify instead gets you: an internet connection that does not freeze mid-task and traffic nobody nearby can read. Speedify’s speed and failover gains need two or more internet connections, such as Wi-Fi plus your phone’s 4G/5G cellular; on a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and can be a little slower.
How to Fix IPVanish When the App Hangs or Freezes
IPVanish can hang or freeze for several reasons. IPVanish support has a general guide to fixing the app when it is stuck in a connecting loop: see the guide here, plus specific steps for Windows and macOS.
If IPVanish connects and then drops instead of hanging, check the internet connection under it first: a VPN can only stay up while that connection does. Then see why IPVanish keeps disconnecting.
Contact IPVanish Support or Switch to a Different Kind of VPN
If the guides do not help, contact IPVanish support directly. IPVanish support may be able to solve the problem, but an answer can take time, and your traffic stays unprotected while you wait.
Speedify is a different kind of VPN app, built to use multiple internet connections at once, such as Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular. Speedify’s technology for combining internet connections splits your traffic across them, so one stalled connection does not freeze the app.
How Speedify Keeps Traffic Encrypted and Connected When One Connection Stalls
Speedify also encrypts all the data you send and receive, which keeps your private information and conversations away from eavesdroppers, especially on public Wi-Fi hotspots.
With two or more internet connections, Speedify also keeps you online: if one connection is unreliable or drops, Speedify moves the traffic to the connections that still work, with the same public IP address, and uses the bad connection again once it recovers.
How to Set Up Speedify When IPVanish Hangs
- Download Speedify on the phone or computer where IPVanish hangs (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux).
- Turn IPVanish off so the two VPN apps do not compete, then open Speedify and create a free account (the free tier includes 5 GB per month; Linux needs a paid plan), or sign in.
- On a phone, tap Allow when your phone asks to add a VPN configuration.
- Keep two internet connections on: Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular on a phone, or Wi-Fi plus Ethernet or a USB-tethered phone on a computer. Speedify connects to a Speedify server on its own and uses both connections at once; if one drops, your traffic moves to the other.
