What the Community Says
IVPN has a really solid reputation as a privacy-first VPN, and it often gets mentioned in the same breath as other “trusted” names like Mullvad and Proton. People like it for being straightforward, taking privacy seriously, and working well on Linux, with a vibe that feels more transparent and security-minded than a lot of big commercial VPNs. It’s also seen as a good pick if you care about trustworthiness, audits, and privacy-friendly features like anonymous payment options.
The biggest downside is that it’s not the cheapest option, and if your main goal is streaming, some people treat it as more of a “privacy tool” than a dedicated Netflix-and-sports VPN. There are also reports that it no longer works reliably in Russia for getting around restrictions, so it’s not something to count on for heavy censorship bypass. A few folks also say the way it gets talked about online can feel a bit “too polished,” which makes them skeptical even if the product itself is well-regarded.

"...lient 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?"
