IVPN is a VPN service offered by IVPN Limited (formerly Privatus Limited) based in Gibraltar. Launched in 2009, IVPN operates using the WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 protocols.[2][3]

History

In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, IVPN started handing out free subscriptions to people living in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.[4]

In 2024, IVPN acquired Safing, a company that offered a firewall application and the SPN VPN service.[5][6]

IVPN has been independently audited by Cure53, has undergone a logging audit[7] and a comprehensive pentest report.[8] IVPN is supported by FlashRouters, a company that specializes in providing custom-flashed routers for VPN users.[9][10]

Reception

In a September 2017 review by PCWorld, IVPN received 4.5 out of 5 stars and was awarded their Editor's Choice Award in 2017.[11]

The service has also been reviewed by PC Magazine,[12] TorrentFreak,[13] and Forbes[14]

The non-profit Freedom of the Press Foundation, in their "Choosing a VPN" guide, lists IVPN amongst the five VPNs that meet their recommended settings and features for VPN use as a tool for protecting online activity.[15]
