IPVanish Expands Global VPN Network to More Than 150 Server Locations
Published
Key Takeaways
- IPVanish VPN Network: Expanded beyond 150 global server locations with 3,400 servers and 56,000 IP addresses.
- RAM-Only Servers: IPVanish added nearly 1,000 RAM-only servers across 25 locations to strengthen user privacy.
- Infrastructure Expansion: New server locations and hardware upgrades aim to improve speeds, reliability, and network performance.
IPVanish has announced that its VPN network now covers more than 150 server locations worldwide, marking a major expansion of the company’s infrastructure. The milestone comes as the provider continues upgrading its systems and rolling out new RAM-only servers aimed at improving privacy, reliability, and connection performance.
According to the company, the IPVanish network currently includes over 3,400 servers and more than 56,000 IP addresses globally. Over the past year, the provider has added more than 1,000 new servers across existing high-demand regions as well as newly introduced locations.
The expansion has focused heavily on North America and Europe, where the company says it has worked to improve speed and reliability while also widening its global coverage. Newly added locations include Calgary, Berlin, Edinburgh, Detroit, and Salt Lake City. IPVanish has also expanded server capacity in popular regions such as New York and London.
RAM-Only Server Rollout Continues
A key part of the company’s recent infrastructure upgrades is its transition toward RAM-only servers. Unlike traditional setups that use SSDs or hard drives, RAM-only servers operate entirely through volatile memory, meaning no data is permanently stored on the servers themselves.
IPVanish says it now operates nearly 1,000 RAM-only VPN servers across 25 locations worldwide. The company plans to continue expanding this rollout and aims to move to a fully RAM-only server network by 2027.
The provider also introduced a new RAM-only filter inside its apps, allowing users to quickly identify and connect to RAM-based server locations. This feature is now available across all supported IPVanish platforms, including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Fire TV, Android TV, and Apple TV.
At present, more than 35% of the IPVanish network is running on RAM-only infrastructure. The company says over 880 RAM-only servers have been added since June 2025.
Infrastructure Upgrades and Usage Trends
IPVanish shared additional details about how users are interacting with its network as demand continues to grow across devices and regions. The company noted that some of its most frequently used locations include Atlanta, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, New York, Chicago, and Toronto. Newer locations such as Detroit, Kansas City, and Buffalo are also seeing increasing usage.
According to IPVanish, peak activity on its network typically occurs between 7 PM and midnight local server time, with higher demand linked to streaming, gaming, and travel periods.
The company also highlighted the hardware behind its infrastructure, stating that it relies entirely on dedicated bare-metal servers instead of low-cost VPS systems. Its current-generation servers run on AMD EPYC Genoa 9454P platforms and use dual 25 Gbps bonded uplinks, providing a total capacity of 50 Gbps.
All server locations are available across every IPVanish app, allowing users to access the same network whether they connect through desktop, mobile, or streaming devices.
Commenting on the milestone, Subbu Sthanu, General Manager, Consumer Cybersecurity at IPVanish, said, “IPVanish is dedicated to continually expanding our server network, enabling us to offer customers the fastest VPN speeds at home and while traveling. Reaching 150 server locations is an important milestone, but it’s also part of a much larger investment in the future of the IPVanish network.”
The company said the expansion to more than 150 locations is part of a broader long-term investment in improving the IPVanish network, with additional RAM-only deployments, infrastructure upgrades, and new server locations expected in the coming months.
