What you do online can be tracked by organizations you may not know or trust and become part of a permanent
record. A VPN can't solve this on its own, but can prevent your ISP from being able to share or sell
your data.
</p>
<p>
IVPN is an audited VPN service in operation since 2009. IVPN encrypts traffic between your device and VPN
servers, preventing your ISP, public Wi-Fi operators, and network observers from monitoring your activity.
</p>
<p>
Features
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Choice of WireGuard, OpenVPN or IPSec protocols using either the IVPN apps or any other compatible
VPN client
</li>
<li>
WireGuard privacy controls - Define a custom schedule for automatic key and IP address rotation.
</li>
<li>
AntiTracker that blocks ads, adware, malicious websites and data harvesting trackers.
</li>
<li>
Killswitch / Firewall option. Offers protection against DNS, IPv6, disconnection and WebRTC leaks.
</li>
<li>
Private non-logging DNS servers accessible through our VPN.
</li>
<li>

privacy.
</li>

</li>
<li>
Pause VPN for when you need to disable the VPN temporarily after which connection is automatically
restored.
</li>
<li>
Obfsproxy to circumvent censorship
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Why choose IVPN?
</p>
<ul>
<li>
No Logs: We do not log any user activity relating to the use of the VPN service, as explained in our
clear privacy
policy.
</li>
<li>
No customer data: We're a privacy service, so we don't collect or store any personal data on
sign-up, not even your
email. We also accept cash, monero and bitcoin.
</li>
<li>
Open-source apps and website: The website and the IVPN app for all platforms are open-source for
additional transparency and security.
</li>
<li>
No cloud services or data storage: All servers managing the IVPN service are self-hosted and operated by
IVPN, including email and customer
service.
</li>
<li>
Independent security audits: We commit to annual security audits to improve our security practices and
transparency.
</li>
<li>
No fake reviews: We never pay for reviews and do not have an affiliate program, so you won't find
us on the 'top 10
best VPN' lists.
</li>
<li>
No false promises or fluff: We don't promise anonymity or 'military grade encryption'. We
publish extensive privacy
guides and educate our customers on what a VPN can realistically achieve.
</li>
<li>
Privacy advocates: We donate regularly to organizations fighting for the right to privacy like the EFF,
Open Rights Group, and
the Tor project.
</li>
<li>
Transparency: Our business model is exclusively based on paid subscriptions. We do not own any other VPN
services or VPN
review sites. Review the team operating IVPN and the company ownership.
</li>
</ul>
