Leaving Mullvad, thoughts about iVPN?

carbonated: > Any recent experiences one could share? I’ll only share my personal experience with IVPN—it won’t be my “opinion,” I’ll get straight to the point: 1. IVPN is more built for people of a certain level, or in other words, it aims to attract people like me, for example. Attract doesn’t mean putting a gun to your head—it means being realistic about the technical limits of a VPN service: it doesn’t claim anything “guaranteed” within VPN usage, it rejects the word “anonymity,” it stopped doing annual audits for real reasons A, etc. 2. It’s a decent service. Last time I used it, it worked normally. Of course, where I’m living, every country or place has its own thing going on. 3. They’re a small team but they work with a certain level of honesty (I don’t personally know any of these people), so I’m not going to hype it up or lie here. If you’re wondering whether I’d recommend using it, my answer is: yes. Here’s why they stopped the annual audits, and it’s actually a positive thing: > Claims around ’no-logs’ audits can be misleading, or at best ambiguous to customers. Audits are a snapshot in time: any VPN service receiving a ’no-logs’ stamp from independent evaluators can update its systems and start collecting sensitive data the following day. We have also seen some VPN providers cite such audits as a marketing tool that creates a false sense of security. For these reasons, we will not commission further no-logs audits. > > Source: Annual security audit scheduled for 2026 -– The decision is yours.
