![]() Right away, our speed test showed that IVPN has a bit of a latency problem. We chose Los Angeles as the next fastest. It may not have been working at capacity on the testing day, but it’s odd that IVPN didn’t catch that. It directed us to Seattle, but that nearby server ran far slower than all the others (except Johannesburg). The first note we should share is that IVPN did not actually pick the fastest server for us. One nice thing is that accounts don’t automatically renew, sparing you from paying for a service you no longer need. We don’t hate everything about IVPN’s pricing. If cost is your main issue, we strongly advise you to check out our Proton VPN review or our full list of the best free VPNs. To put it frankly, IVPN is good, but not good enough to charge as much as it does. Every Pro plan is about as expensive as ExpressVPN for the same length of time. The three-year Standard plan is the cheapest by month, but it’s still far more expensive than a two-year commitment to Private Internet Access. One year costs $100 ( $8.33 per month), two years cost $160 ( $6.67 per month) and three years cost $220 ( $6.11 per month). One week of IVPN Pro will cost you $4, with a month coming in at $10. ![]() ![]() One year costs $60 ( $5 per month), two years cost $100 ( $4.17 per month) and three years cost $140 ( $3.89 per month). A week of IVPN Standard costs $2, while a month costs $6. ![]() IVPN’s one-week subscriptions are a nice way to try the VPN service out.Īs with most VPN providers, signing up for a longer period grants slight discounts. Multi-hop is a VPN connection that runs through multiple servers, adding redundancy in case one server fails. If you use OpenVPN, it’s possible to form a multi-hop connection from the main control panel, but only if you’ve paid for the IVPN Pro plan. On the same page, you can activate Obfsproxy, which obfuscates your VPN traffic to get around firewalls and censorship. OpenVPN comes with the option to try a new port automatically if the VPN connection drops. This has two very specific uses: 1) creating a kill switch–like system if you need to deactivate the firewall to use your local server connection, and 2) configuring your VPN to spoof different locations depending on the type of traffic.īoth of these uses are extremely situational, cementing IVPN as one of the true expert-level options on the VPN market.īoth options allow you to select your preferred transport protocol and port, which is a bit more useful, as it can help reboot an uneven VPN connection. Each comes with a host of auxiliary settings, but unless you’re tech-savvy and know your own VPN needs in exquisite detail, you won’t end up using most of them.įor example, the OpenVPN tab lets you set up a network proxy, either HTTPS or Socks5. On the “connection” tab, you can choose between IVPN’s two VPN protocols, OpenVPN and WireGuard. The “connection” tab has little patience for non-technical VPN users. When IVPN stops throwing fireballs and gets down to the work of actually building a VPN client, does its work stack up to the best VPNs? To find out, we tested its feature set, speed, security, privacy, streaming performance, pricing and more. This is IVPN’s pitch: We’re the only ones brave enough to tell the truth, so you should subscribe to our VPN. It often seems angrier with its fellow VPN providers than with the people threatening online privacy in the first place. IVPN is here to fight the entire VPN establishment. ![]()
