Are you a regular user of the private incognito mode on your browser? While it offers some basic privacy features, it may not provide the comprehensive protection you expect. For a truly closed session that keeps your device and data secure, you need something that goes beyond standard private browsing. That’s why we’ve developed a solution to upgrade your security while browsing the web. Say hello to Secure Browser, now available in IPVanish Advanced VPN plans.
This new product is the brainchild of security-minded experts who want to make the internet safer for everyone. Let’s get into everything it can do.
A Step Beyond Private Browsing Mode
Incognito and private browsing modes in major browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox have long been considered an easy privacy solution. But while it hides your browsing history from others using your device, it doesn’t shield your online activity from trackers or third parties. This limited protection may fall short for users seeking greater security and web anonymity.
That’s where IPVanish Secure Browser comes in. Operating entirely in the cloud, it isolates your browsing activity from your device to keep it completely safe—no local data stored, no trackers monitored, and no malware risks. Best of all, it seamlessly integrates with your everyday browser, allowing you to enhance your security with just a single click.
Browser Anonymity Done Right
Secure Browser lets you access an isolated browsing session in the cloud using our servers. This virtual browser is entirely removed from your device, meaning you can’t be targeted by anything that occurs within this window. Your activity in your usual browser will be mirrored in the cloud, like an interactive video feed that copies everything you do. Additionally, Secure Browser has IPVanish VPN embedded right within it, making your personal IP address and location practically invisible to third parties who may want to view it. All your traffic with Secure Browser is also encrypted, ensuring that your data is illegible to third-party interception, and the data is destroyed upon closing the browser for a truly closed session.
Everything we’ve mentioned prevents your browser from logging your activity, meaning no cookies or cache data can be stored while using IPVanish Secure Browser. Altogether, Secure Browser is the one-stop solution for avoiding fingerprinting and intrusive advertising tactics.
Top Locations To Choose From
Secure Browser sessions can run through ten regions on the IPVanish server network. We expect this number to grow in the future, but currently, you can connect to servers in:
- USA
- Canada
- UK
- Australia
- Germany
- Netherlands
- France
- Ireland
- Spain
- Belgium
We use the infrastructure already established for our VPN services to power all our products. The reliability you can expect from IPVanish VPN is the same as that from IPVanish Secure Browser.
Shield Yourself From Viruses
With Secure Browser, everything you do on your browser is kept off your device. Instead, it’s replicated on a remote server which you are simply viewing. Plus, with the multiple other layers of protection previously mentioned, you will be protected from common online issues such as threatware, malicious links, and viruses.
Additionally, tracking can make you more vulnerable to threats that rely on social engineering, like phishing.
When third parties know your identifiable information, it may fall into the wrong hands, giving bad actors a wealth of information to convince you of scams, for example, via email. Secure Browser will keep this information from being collected, but it will additionally keep malicious links contained when opened and keep you from being a target.
Say Goodbye To Data Monetization
As we mentioned, no history will be saved on your device when you use Secure Browser. But rest assured, we have no interest in it either. Our commitment to safety and security, as well as our no-logs policy, applies to Secure Browser. Every time you close Secure Browser, your session is immediately wiped from our servers. Unlike free services, we don’t rely on your data to support our products, meaning we have no reason to enter the business of commodified user data.
