IVPN clients support two factor authentication (Mullvad's clients do not). In addition to providing standard OpenVPN configuration files, IVPN has mobile clients for App Store, Google Play, and GitHub allowing for easy connections to their servers.

Port forwarding is only available on IVPN when using WireGuard or OpenVPN protocols and is disabled on US servers. Port forwarding can be activated via the client area. Remote port forwarding is possible with a Pro plan.

IVPN also offers a WireGuard configuration generator for use with the official WireGuard apps.

IVPN recommends the use of WireGuard with their service and, as such, the protocol is the default on all of IVPN's apps. Additionally, WireGuard aims to be simpler and more performant. WireGuard is a newer protocol that uses state-of-the-art cryptography. In addition to accepting credit/debit cards and PayPal, IVPN accepts Bitcoin, Monero and cash/local currency (on annual plans) as anonymous forms of payment. Source code can be obtained from their GitHub organization. Open-Source Clients ¶Īs of February 2020 IVPN applications are now open-source. A further review was conducted in April 2022 and was produced by Cure53 on their website. IVPN has also said they plan to have annual reports in the future. IVPN has also completed a comprehensive pentest report Cure53 in January 2020. IVPN has undergone a no-logging audit from Cure53 which concluded in agreement with IVPN's no-logging claim. We also think it's better for the security of the VPN provider's private keys if they use dedicated servers, instead of cheaper shared solutions (with other customers) such as virtual private servers. This is because of a shorter route (fewer hops) to the destination. IVPN has servers in 35 countries.(1) Picking a VPN provider with a server nearest to you will reduce latency of the network traffic you send. IVPN is another premium VPN provider, and they have been in operation since 2009. Killswitch feature is broken on Intel-based Macs.
