com.ipvanish.helper.pppd
The Ipvanish helper (pppd daemon) is a privileged system service that manages VPN tunnel establishment and maintenance for the Ipvanish VPN application. It handles low-level point-to-point protocol (PPP) operations required to route traffic securely through Ipvanish's servers. This helper runs as a background daemon and is not separately installed or managed—it comes bundled as part of the main Ipvanish VPN application and is updated whenever the parent app is updated.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a system daemon that is part of the Ipvanish VPN application, not a standalone product. There is nothing to update separately—updating the Ipvanish VPN app itself will update this helper component to a native Apple Silicon build if one is available. Visit Ipvanish's official website or app store listing, download and install the latest version of the Ipvanish VPN application, and the pppd helper will be updated alongside it. If Ipvanish has shipped a native Apple Silicon build of their VPN client, the helper will run natively as well. Check with Ipvanish directly if you are unsure whether their current version includes native Apple Silicon support, particularly if updating before September 2028 when Apple removes Rosetta 2 entirely.
