Sometimes a VPN (Virtual Private Network) serves its purpose. Whether it's because you no longer have a need for all the good stuff a VPN brings, the service didn't live up to your expectations, or any other reason, there's no sense in throwing away money, particularly with customer-friendly refund policies.
Also, IPVanish doesn’t have a free trial per se, but it does offer a seven-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee which allows you to test their services without limitations during that period.
This guide will show you how to cancel your subscription with IPVanish. One final word of advice, though: if you want to cancel due to technical issue(s), make sure to check in with the customer support first. As is usually the case, these are the most common problems with VPNs and trained teams can resolve them efficiently, especially seeing as IPVanish's support is available 24/7 via live chat or email.
