Basic Troubleshooting & Tips
- Can’t Find the App? Use your device’s voice search (“IPVanish”) to quickly launch.
- Playback Errors: Change the US City Server or Simply Disconnect from ‘United States’ then reconnect. This will change server location (pin will move on the map once reconnected)
- Enable Auto-Connect: Avoid interruptions if the VPN drops—just re-launch seamlessly.
- Clear Cache: Go to Settings in Startup Show, then bottom will see option to Clear Cache -> Ok -> Signin.
- Restart Periodically: Router & streaming device reboots clear caches and fix minor issues.
- Update IPVanish: Turn on auto-updates or manually check for new versions.
- Launch a Speed Test: Confirm connectivity to your streaming app. Aim for at least ~20 Mbps.
Confirm Internet Throttling:
What is Internet Throttling?
Majority of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will flag and slow down your internet speeds—especially during high-demand streaming. Although it’s rarely admitted, it can happen anytime. A properly configured VPN will protect your data and privacy.
Confirm Internet Throttling
Running a detailed speed test within the Apollo Group TV application can often detect throttling. However, in some cases, the issue may occur higher up the network chain, making it less obvious through local testing.
Open Your Streaming App (e.g., Startup Show or Apollo Group TV).
Navigate to Settings > Launch Speed Test (DETAILED)
Results:
Live TV Server; and VOD Server will be listed; and the coloumn to the right, Download Speed will show for each category.
- If the download speed for Live TV or VOD shows “0” or is significantly low (under 5 mbps)
- If you see a “Bad IP” message.
These indicators confirm throttling on your connection (network).
Confirming a Successful Connection
Ensure there is a positive speed test for all columns. If you have a zero or a fraction of a download speed than your connection is compromised. Below is a picture with IPVanish Connected. More Details.
