In 2019, IPVanish was one of many VPN services acquired by J2 Global with their NetProtect business. In 2017, Highwinds Network Group was acquired by CDN company StackPath which included IPVanish as part of the acquisition. IPVanish owns roughly 90% of its points of presence ( POPs), where the company controls the data center and hardware, or "the rack and stack." Its infrastructure is leased from third-party operators in regions "where it doesn’t make sense to have our own gear," such as Albania. The VPN owns and controls a private fiber-optic network of tier-1 servers.
