While using its service, everything is encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption and the Windows client comes with IPv6 and DNS leak protection. My testing verified this to be true with no DNS or WebRTC leaks to be found anywhere. Sam Singleton IPVanish supports a number of protocols such as WireGuard, IKEv2, and OpenVPN (UDP and TCP).
