We’re excited to announce that Secure Browser is integrated within IPVanish apps for both Windows and macOS. Explore the web in a fully protected environment — blocking malware, trackers, and other threats before they ever touch your device.
Key Takeaways
- IPVanish Secure Browser runs in the cloud, keeping risks from malware, trackers, and threats off your device.
- While a VPN encrypts your entire internet connection for privacy, Secure Browser isolates browsing sessions for direct device protection — together they deliver complete security.
- Secure Browser is fully integrated into the IPVanish VPN apps for Windows and macOS and included within the IPVanish Advanced plan.
Your browser should be a gateway to the internet, not a doorway for threats. Trackers, malware, and exploits lurk behind every click, but now you have a stronger defense. IPVanish Secure Browser is built right into our desktop VPN apps, giving you a safe space to interact with any web content without risk to your device. Every session is secure, every trace erased, every threat stopped cold.
What makes IPVanish Secure Browser different from other private browsers?
Unlike standard “private” or “incognito” modes, IPVanish Secure Browser doesn’t just hide your online history — it eliminates it entirely. Powered by Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), Secure Browser runs every site in a cloud browser instead of on your device. And when you close a Secure Browser tab, the session is completely destroyed, leaving behind no history, cache, or digital footprint.
Secure Browser delivers multi-layered protection with every click
- Safely explore the unknown: Click any link with confidence. Whether it’s from a suspicious email or an unknown site, web threats like malware or ransomware are locked in our secure cloud environment, never reaching your computer.
- Vanish without a trace: Go far beyond “incognito.” When you close a session, the entire cloud browser is destroyed, not just your local history. Your digital footprint is completely erased, making it impossible for your activity to be tracked or recovered.
- Defeat advanced tracking: We block sophisticated browser fingerprinting techniques used to create a unique profile of you. By isolating your browsing on our remote servers, we prevent trackers from identifying your device’s unique digital fingerprint to follow you across the web.
- Isolate and eliminate threats: Our proactive approach isolates threats before they can attack. Unlike traditional antivirus software that reacts to threats on your device, Secure Browser acts as a digital shield, preventing even zero-day exploits from ever reaching your machine.
- Effortless access: Forget about extra downloads or separate applications. Secure Browser is built directly into the IPVanish app for Windows and macOS, ready for immediate protection with a single click.

VPN and Secure Browser: Complete Protection, End to End
With IPVanish, your VPN and Secure Browser services work together as a full-spectrum defense. Think of the VPN as the armored transport for your data, encrypting your internet connection and hiding your IP address. The Secure Browser is the secure facility where that data arrives, isolating web code in the cloud so malware, trackers, and phishing scripts never touch your device. Together, they protect both the journey and the destination.
Expanding What IPVanish Can Do for You
We’ve recently introduced free security tools for the web, such as the Dark Web Scanner, and in-app tools like our Link Checker and QR Code Checker, but this is the first time we’ve fully integrated another product into what was once a VPN-only app experience. For years, IPVanish has been known for powerful VPN protection that puts users in control of their data. Integrating Secure Browser marks the first step in our bigger mission to move beyond VPNs and deliver an all-in-one cybersecurity suite that keeps every part of your online life safe.
Security is no longer optional. IPVanish Secure Browser delivers the protection modern browsing demands, and it’s here today for Windows and macOS users.
