VPN and IPVanish are two different technologies. VPN technology encrypts all traffic between the user’s device and the VPN server.

IPVanish, on the other hand, masks your real IP address and provides a fake one to the websites you visit. This allows you to bypass censorship and geo-restrictions.

However, they are not the same. IPVanish is not a VPN service and does not encrypt your traffic.

VPN services encrypt your traffic and provide a VPN server to mask your real IP address.

Therefore, the two technologies are not the same, but they can both be useful for bypassing censorship and geo-restrictions.
