IPVanish has expanded its subscription benefits by permanently adding free eSIM data to all its VPN plans. Starting September 1, 2025, subscribers on the Advanced plan will receive 5GB of eSIM data, while Essential plan users will get 3GB.
The decision comes after a limited-time launch in May, which was initially restricted to Advanced Yearly and 2-Year subscribers. Following strong demand, the perk is now available to everyone who signs up for an IPVanish VPN plan.
An eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a digital version of the traditional SIM card that’s built directly into devices like smartphones and tablets. Unlike physical SIMs, it doesn’t require swapping cards or visiting local stores. Instead, users can instantly activate a mobile data plan in their destination country.
For frequent travelers, this brings clear benefits:
This makes eSIMs especially valuable for digital nomads, business travelers, and anyone relying on secure connectivity abroad.
With this update, IPVanish users now receive free mobile data alongside their VPN subscription:
The eSIM can be redeemed for mobile data in over 200 countries due to IPVanish’s partnership with global eSIM provider aloSIM.
Beyond data, users still benefit from the VPN’s core protections: encrypted traffic, IP masking, ad and tracker blocking, and safe browsing even on public Wi-Fi.
IPVanish has simplified the redemption process. New subscribers can claim their eSIM data by following these steps:
No extra payment details are required during redemption, making the process quick and secure.
While IPVanish's Essential users also benefit from free eSIM data, the Advanced plan offers a wider digital security package. It includes:
Together, these features make IPVanish Advanced a travel-focused toolkit for both security and connectivity.
By integrating free eSIM data with VPN subscriptions, IPVanish is positioning itself as more than just a privacy provider. The move directly addresses one of the biggest challenges for international travelers: affordable and reliable mobile connectivity.
These updates come alongside other recent developments: IPVanish introduces RAM-Only Servers and OpenVPN Support on iOS, and it provides remote browser isolation to Windows and macOS Apps. Together, these enhancements show IPVanish’s focus on delivering a comprehensive suite of privacy, security, and connectivity tools for users worldwide.
