Amazon Fire TV/Fire Stick Troubleshooting Blake June 13, 2019 13:41. If you are using a First Gen Firestick, then do not use our app. IPVanish requires the Gen2 Fire Stick (or newer). Try launching the IPVanish application and connect. Clearing the IPVanish apps cache and data fixes most connection and speed issues on FireOS devices. Please note this does not connect you to an IPVanish server. If you wish to automatically connect to an IPVanish server upon start you will need to select both this option and the 'Connect Automatically when IPVanish starts' option. The 'Connect Automatically when IPVanish starts' option is also located in.

IPVanish, stay away.
IPVanish has great advertising. All the boxes are checked. Best I can tell, it is totally a farce. IPVanish's forum is full of people complaining about the same exact things. Nobody can get a refund, nobody can get in touch with support, and it seems most can't connect, or get a decent connection either.
They claim 24/7 365 Support. I've been trying at all different times of day for a week. I've submitted half a dozen tickets. Only automated responses. Don't take my word for it, read their own forums.
Stay away. You've been warned.
**EDIT: OK, support replied, I did NOTHING, suddenly everything is working. They did something on their end. Now I have a dilemma. Because I never heard from them, I spent more money on re-upping my old VPN service, so now I have two, and spent double the money. That really pisses me off. But they may have me, and it upsets me that they may end up with a customer, but their VPN is fast, very fast. I was getting ~30Mbps, I am now getting ~75Mbps.

This is enough of a speed increase that I may stick with IPVanish despite their miserable support, and whatever technical issues they won't admit to. We'll see how this goes the next few weeks and perhaps I'll come back and update again.

I want to apologize in advance for the long post.
I've been having some problems recently with my laptops internet connection. For some reason I can only connect to the internet if my VPN is activated (btw im using IPVanish).
I have a desktop, Xbox and another laptop that all connect to the internet fine but for some reason my laptop has this problem. When I open Google Chrome and try to go on a website it gives me an error sayin that i was unable to connect to the internet. The second I connect to my VPN everything works just fine The strange thing, however, is that when i connect with this laptop at a hotel or someone elses wi-fi it works fine.
My friend suggested formatting my PC as there might be a corrupted file but before trying that i wanted to hear your suggestions?
Thank You
