About IVPN
IVPN is a high-transparency Virtual Private Network provider founded by privacy activists and security experts. Based in Gibraltar, it distinguishes itself through a commitment to ethical operations, including a refusal to use third-party trackers on its website, a strictly audited no-logs policy, and the complete open-sourcing of all its client-side applications. The service is designed for individuals and teams who require high levels of anonymity and security, offering advanced features like multi-hop routing and custom DNS filtering. The service operates on a subscription-only model, explicitly avoiding data monetization or affiliate marketing traps common in the VPN industry. IVPN supports a wide range of privacy-preserving payment methods, including physical cash sent via mail and privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero. Its infrastructure is built using standard open-source protocols like WireGuard and OpenVPN, ensuring that security is based on vetted, transparent technology rather than proprietary "black box" solutions.
