IVPN Review

"My experience with iVPN : Best VPN I ever used."

"Both are good options and meet the (very sensible) criteria by PrivacyGuides: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ The Mullvad VPN client is open source just like the IVPN client."

"I suggest looking into the iOS and macOS guides by PrivacyGuides respectively to optimize the system settings: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/ios-overview/ https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/macos-overview/ Surfshark was not the best idea to be honest, it's owned by the same entity as NordVPN; in general you should be avoiding Tesonet, they also have a data mining arm called Oxylabs. Three companies including Tesonet own most of the VPN market, avoid all three: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/3-companies-control-many-big-name-vpns-what-you-need-to-know/ For VPN I woul..."

"Probably AI engagement bait by a new account, but I'll bite. I use IVPN now. I tested it along with Proton and Mullvad. Proton is better in terms of getting around geoblocking, but the other two are ok if you change servers a couple of times till you find an IP that works. $60 a year for IVPN is significantly cheaper than Proton and slightly cheaper than Mullvad. 2 device limit at that tier but will prompt you to log out of other devices if you try to connect with a 3rd, so no problem unless you're simultaneously running 3+ devices. These 3 and Nym are the only VPNs I'd consider. Windscr..."

"Here (fully sourced): https://embed.kumu.io/9ced55e897e74fd807be51990b26b415#vpn-company-relationships/surfshark An example of a source: https://www.pcmag.com/news/nordvpns-parent-company-is-merging-with-vpn-provider-surfshark See also: https://www.rtings.com/vpn/reviews/surfshark/vpn > Surfshark VPN is a poor choice for private browsing. The privacy policy states that the company collects personal data and can use it for analytics and marketing purposes.  The majority of VPNs are controlled by sketchy entities.  Mullvad, Proton, IVPN and maybe Nym (early days) are the only ones..."

"I just used IVPN for a week while i was travelling to Asia this month. Worked pretty well I was able to stream Netflix etc."

"I see you‘re new and you don’t know much about VPNs.. you don’t mention what you need it for, but lets say for privacy. Forgot them all, you only have 2 (maybe 3 if you want streaming) options. 1: Mullvad (the best one) 2: IVPN 3: Windscribe So when you want it for privacy Mullvad first, than IVPN. If you want privacy and also streaming support, than choose Windscribe. Proton is also ok, but that’s it, no other one… don’t fall for their marketing…"

"Proton is a solid option. A lot of the people complaining are people who signed up for free email accounts which got suspended for ToS violations (e.g. you're not allowed to make multiple reddit accounts using the same Proton address- they're worried about people using it for bots and spam). It's a good choice if you want the closest thing to a single ecosystem to replace Google, though some apps are better than others and there are some limitations (I don't recommend if you have Linux). If you need a decent private email and VPN you really need to pay for it (though there are good mail op..."

"what is this sub? a paid one? Mullvad or IVPN and nothing else ffs"

"imagine using a VPN and don’t even do your research, oh boy… MULLVAD or IVPN, nothing else. You‘re welcome."

"Privacy and security advocate/computer repair shop owner here (check my profile), there are only 4 VPNs anyone should be using: * Proton VPN (free) * Mullvad * IVPN * Windscribe These VPN companies are proven to be trustworthy, which is important because whichever service you use could snoop on your internet activity if they wanted to. You have to actively trust the company for a VPN to work well for privacy. Free VPNs are free for a reason... they sell your data! Proton is the one and only exception to the rule because they make money elsewhere and they make privacy-focused software only. ..."

"Nearly all VPN providers sell your data including most paid ones. There's a reason why PIA, Nord VPN and others can sponsor half the internet's creators. This video does a great job at unpacking this and brings evidence the claims made: [https://youtu.be/1opKW6X88og](https://youtu.be/1opKW6X88og) Proton is one of the few good ones together with iVPN and Mullvad. The last one is the best one as you can physical mail them the money so there is no digital payment trail either."

"\*Proton's marketing is saying their basis is not the share data, but in their policies, they do say they collect and share data. Proton still seems more trustworthy handling your data than most VPN providers based on their company practices, but Mullvad/IVPN/Windscribe simply do not collect data, which is even better. One problem that Proton cannot avoid is if they get breached or hacked and external parties can get their hand son user data. That said, Proton still gives good information on what data is collected, and they don't collect more data than most other software you probably are ..."

"Rtings.com is now testing VPNs on their trustworthiness regarding user data and privacy. Our top 3 best VPNs for privacy include Mullvad, IVPN and Windscribe. Images: https://external-preview.redd.it/MiHK3T_4tdY0yHXnmMKiJiykQ9nO_Rftn53dabQeKPo.jpeg?auto=webp&s=911969985f54168d89d766650938d92afb48995f "

"Ivpn doesn't work in Russia at all anymore Been using ivpn for a while now in Russia to avoid government restrictions. Since the last month, more and more connection problems began to appear, and the last couple of days, vpn stopped working completely. No connection options work at all. Keys update for wireguard doesn't work also, can't update wg keys, because, obviously, ivpn site is blocked in Russia. No form of obfuscation work also, neither on Openvpn, neither on wireguard. Any ideas how to fix that, or maybe any solutions are in development to circumvent these recent restrictions? I ..."

"@JOKAQARMY1 As far as I know the best and most private ones are Proton, Mullvad and IVPN. Personally I use Proton because they have a suite of apps and it's very convenient but if you only need a vpn the others are great too. But at the end of the day you have to trust them so yeah."

"@Anti_Tyranny_1 @JOKAQARMY1 As far as I know the best and most private ones are Proton, Mullvad and IVPN. Personally I use Proton because they have a suite of apps and it's very convenient but if you only need a vpn they others are great too."

"@grok @Pharaoh_Cleetus @TrustNoWun @CaseyPutsch I want to push back a little on NordVPN, and they're just one example, any VPN owned by an organization that used to produce ad-injection software is suspicious any way you look at it. Mulvad, ProtonVPN, and IVPN seem to be the only, or at least, historically BEST VPN's to trust."

"@proprivacyEU How much money did they pay you to make this list? Let me make a better list for you. 1. Mullvad VPN 2. IVPN 3. ProtonVPN"

"The absence of Mullvad and IVPN from a ‘best VPNs’ list is telling. Both are known for strong privacy practices, but neither runs affiliate programmes. Worth asking why they were excluded."

"@neuralunlock @brave @ProtonMail @signalapp @fileverse @nym @snowstormnet @zashi_app @Zcash this is israeli-advertised honeypots. VPN - MULLVAD OR IVPN, CRYPTO: MONERO ONLY"

"This may be true for shady VPNs out of China (top results in Google and Apple stores) however saying that this is universally true is a big lie. VPNs like Windscribe, IVPN, Mullvad and maybe even ProtonVPN operate differently. All apps are open source, the services have been audited (multiple times), and in some cases had their time in court to prove what they preach. We certainly did. Big names you hear on every Youtube channel are not the same, and they are closer to the shady Chinese ones than the ones I mentioned. Lastly, unless you know what you're doing, don't make your own VPN. It..."

"Get your #VPN @MullvadNet & @IVPN subscriptions ready now, preferably multi-hop, either will do, both highly regarded by Whitehat Hackers."

"@Rishi_Builds @rasmalai Only if VPNs like Nord did the job of a VPN well. The only reliable and trusted VPNs out there are Proton, Mullvlad, Windscribe and iVPN."

"@Rubicon_John The problem with your payment method is it is tracked. Now it's not that big of a deal. I mean I use proton because of the deal for everything. I really liked ivpn. You can pay with crypto. You just generate a random account. And that's it. No password just a random ID"

"I don't blame them though, it's easy to feel strongly and go out and act, but harder to take the time to pause and think. I've met so many protestors in recent days that don't know even the basics of privacy or security, or are wanting to just start an unprompted riot. These things take time and planning to do right, time we don't have anymore and so many of us are trying to catch up For anyone reading this, these are some tips I've found and have been trying to help circulate - Stop using SMS, and start using Signal. Apps like messenger, Whatsapp or iMessage might have an end to end encryp..."

"This is gunna be something you'll need to do some extensive research on, a reddit comment isn't going to be enough information to really set you up. But, some bullet points: These are going to be focusing on most to least important steps, and focused primarily on avoiding data collection in your computer, but you'll need to look into your phone as well at some point. - Get off windows/mac OS. Unfortunately there's no alternative. Linux can be scary, but not if you do it right. Fedora, Mint, Kubuntu, all easy to download and easy to navigate. There's a learning curve, but nothing you can't h..."

"OP’s post is suspicious but not as suspicious as IVPN wiki page which reads like an actual advert. And that’s why I can’t trust it. Mullvad on the other hand: you wouldn’t know of it I you didn’t seek it out."

"IVPN doesn’t keep logs either"

"Mullvad, iVPN, Windscribe, or Proton"

"I lean Mullvad for privacy, IVPN for support."

"Completely agree here: You can't share logs/data if you don't have any. This is why we don't score jurisdiction in our review and focus and collection of data. This interview with Viktor from IVPN explains why jurisdiction might not matter: [https://youtu.be/KzkQKB9msUI?si=Av1sOOVc7ZDR0CVt&t=2070](https://youtu.be/KzkQKB9msUI?si=Av1sOOVc7ZDR0CVt&t=2070)"

"Not great news. General response -> There are things we can influence in countering restrictions in a specific country, there are some we cannot. It will always be a cat and mouse game, and we are against well resourced and motivated adversaries. At this point we don't have anything new in development to resolve connection issues in the near future. Sorry. Regarding your specific case -> please contact support at [ivpn.net](http://ivpn.net) and we can take it from there (there are potential next steps we rather not share publicly)."

"@nellydeefflu3nt I've never known of a VPN to require an ID but Mullvad, IVPN, and Windscribe are pretty good."

"@smspoolnet The real rating: 1. Proton 2. IVPN 3. Mullvad"

"@T3chFalcon Session, Signal, IodeOS, Devuan Linux, IVPN usually, XMR and a Shiftphone 8 with a removable battery. Have to get it from Europe though."

"cancel your nordvpn and go with ivpn."

"Recommended by the earlier video: TunnelBear, Mullvad (Mozilla VPN), IVPN, VyprVPN, Proton VPN I use PIAVPN as my trusted VPN, the only internet service I currently pay for. Very simple install on Linux with additional useful features, designating programs to use VPN while others do not, multiple devices etc. [https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/](https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/)"

"Which VPN in 2026? Instead of NordVPN or Proton, I hear a lot of people talking about Mullvad VPN (both for its reliability and technical efficiency, as well as its flexibility regarding the devices and operating systems on which Mullvad VPN can be used). Mullvad is also cheaper, but in terms of privacy, security, and zero-knowledge (regarding our online data, payment methods, and telemetry tracking), have you ever considered an open-source option like IVPN? Are you familiar with I.V.P.N.?"

"I don't know what to do anymore please help :( With that being said, I am very obsessed with my privacy right now, and I think technology is gonna get even more invasive of my privacy as time goes on. I HATE that RCS (on Google Messages) has big issues with GrapheneOS right now, and I also hate that I can barely get anyone to use the Signal app. So what did I do to combat this paranoia?... I bought an iPhone 17 lmfao.... Yes I know I know "WHY?!" iMessage is E2EE, as is FaceTime audio. I absolutely am all for that, but now I am paranoid about how much Apple spies on me. It can't be as bad a..."

"Many people prefer one account with one bill offerings. And Proton so far has a good reputation. Nevertheless, if you want to diversify, you can look into Tuta Mail (e-mail, calendar), Filen.io (cloud storage), Mullvad or IVPN (VPN), Bitwarden (password manager)."

"from what I gather from the comments, IVPN is the way to go?"

"@smspoolnet I use the comprehensive antitracker+ from IVPN."

"@KylleSebree NordVPN requires an account, that contains your personal information, to use it. IVPN doesn't require an account to use it."

"@SAP127001 @DarkWebInformer Portmaster is owned by IVPN which is fine"

"@windscribecom "Your Very Own VPN" can be the only salient solution if you're behind an dumb ISP in a country with increasingly restrictive attitude to online freedom. I may adore Windscribe, Proton or iVPN all I want, but what's the use of a long subscription plan if tomorrow they're blocked?"

"@SIGNAL_RETURN @3xhuman @ProtonMail thoughts on ivpn? it has roughly the same lifetime as mullvad and i haven't heard any conpromises about either of them. as far as i know mullvad lacks a warrant canary. except that and the price difference i personally think they're about the same"

"Why Your VPN Provider Is Probably Lying About Their "No-Log" Policy (And How to Actually Verify It) "We don't keep logs." Every VPN company says this. It's on their homepage, in their marketing, in their terms of service. It sounds good. It feels safe. It's also almost impossible to verify. And yeah, some of them are definitely lying. \*\*The Problem\*\* "No-log" doesn't mean what people think it means. It doesn't mean they can't see your traffic. It means they \*claim\* they don't store records of it. But here's the thing: you have to trust them. There's no audit, no blockchai..."

"For many Social Media creators huge percentage of their income comes from Sponsorships, many VPN providers pay well as it’s really cheap advertising at $5k-$25k then referral/commissions streams for years Looking for a VPN...Here’s what you want Firstly if you’re not paying for the service YOU are likely the payment…well your info is likely tracked and sold. Full reported Third-Party verifiable audit Transparent ownership Open-Source clients Anonymous payment options- cash, crypto, etc NO LOGS or metadata- verifiable Privacy features Kill Switch, DNS leak, Tor Bridge M..."

"You are not necessarily stuck with Proton. The most complicated to change again would be e-mail, since it would present you with the same hurdles as switching away from GMail. You'd likely have to forward to your new e-mail address (like Tuta), and change all your online accounts again. For this, in the future, it might be good to have a custom domain because it simplifies the process. Proton Drive is also a bit more involved since it would mean downloading your files and uploading them elsewhere. Do note by the way, that Ente Photos is a cloud storage specialized for photo management, a more..."
