introducing a dedicated in-app RAM-only filter across all apps.

The tool lets you easily find and connect to its growing network of RAM-only servers. By enabling the filter, you can browse available connection points
by country, region, and city, instantly spotting which clusters have already been upgraded to the diskless infrastructure. This provides an immediate, transparent way to make informed choices about your digital privacy. IPVanish has been quietly releasing interface updates to its apps since September.
With its latest rollout , however, the new filtering tool is now officially available across all supported apps, including Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV.

Traditional servers rely on hard disk drives (HDDs) to operate. While reputable providers secure these drives with full-disk encryption and strict no-logs policies , the physical storage still exists.

RAM-only servers , on the other hand, run completely on volatile memory.
This means that every single time the server is rebooted or powered down, all data is instantly and permanently wiped.

According to the IPVanish blog post, these specialized servers "eliminate
even the theoretical risk of data persistence." It acts as a safety net; even in a worst-case scenario where a server is physically seized by authorities
or compromised, there should be no lingering data left behind to recover.

Beyond the obvious privacy benefits, the company notes that dropping the hard drives brings noticeable performance advantages as well. IPVanish claims the upgraded servers deliver "faster processing, improved reliability, and smoother VPN connections for streaming, gaming, and everyday browsing." The road to a fully diskless network This new app filter is part of a much larger infrastructure overhaul. As TechRadar previously reported , IPVanish officially took its first steps toward a diskless network earlier this year, joining heavy-hitters like NordVPN and ExpressVPN in adopting the technology.

While the network isn't fully diskless just yet, the provider is aggressively upgrading its hardware. IPVanish has confirmed that it is transitioning to a "fully RAM-only global network by 2027."

As the company continues to expand its RAM-only coverage across North
America, Europe, South America, and the Asia-Pacific region throughout 2026, those newly upgraded cities will automatically appear under the in-app
filter.

For now, the new toggle ensures you have real-time transparency into exactly where those ultra-secure connections are available today. IPVanish deals IPVanish 24 months $2.19 /mth View at IPVanish IPVanish 24 Months $2.19 /mth View at IPVanish IPVanish 12 months $3.33 /mth View at IPVanish
