Overview

IPVanish was founded in 2012 in Orlando, Florida, and is now owned by Ziff Davis, the digital media group behind PCMag, IGN and Mashable. It operates its own server infrastructure in more than 50 countries, allows unlimited simultaneous connections and has built a loyal following among streaming-box and Kodi users.

Affiliates earn a flat 50% on every plan sold, with no recurring share. The 45-day cookie is above the 30-day norm, and there is no payout minimum, though commissions are approved only after the 30-day money-back period, so the first payment arrives roughly two months after the sale. The program runs directly on TUNE and on CJ Affiliate, and IPVanish offers partner-exclusive landing pages and discounts.
