Yes, IPVanish can impact your internet speed, but the effect is generally minimal. Like all VPNs, it routes your traffic through an encrypted tunnel, which can cause a slight reduction in speed. However, IPVanish is known for its high-speed servers, so most users experience only a small drop in speed, especially when connected to nearby servers. If you choose a server close to your location, the speed impact is less felt, allowing for smooth streaming, browsing, and downloading.
