Popular VPN launches new free security tool to help you fight back phishing scams

IPVanish VPN running on a Macbook Pro.

As generative AI tools like ChatGPT become increasingly popular, phishing attacks are not only experiencing a steep rise in numbers but are also becoming increasingly more effective and difficult to spot. These cyber threats usually involve dodgy links that, if clicked, can inject malware into a victim's device. This is why one of the best VPN services on the market has developed a solution to help you avoid them.

IPVanish has just launched its Link Checker tool to verify the safety of URLs before clicking. The tool achieves this by using a mix of AI and machine learning engines to deliver an accurate deep-link analysis, offering insights into any flagged concerns. The tool comes as a standalone website and is free to use for everyone—whether or not you're an IPVanish subscriber.
