At the time of writing this comment, the price for 3 year plan is $140, but keep in mind only two devices are allowed on that plan. For normal users who prefer privacy 2 devices is more than enough. Also to note, a user can pay with XMR and that's a big plus for the platform and for the ones who prefer high privacy.
I've been a user for over a year. Good apps for desktop and mobile. Easy to pay with LN, no email etc required.. I do wish they had more servers, as I sometimes struggle with being blocked by websites.
ivpn is blocking a legal US website. Kiwifarms dot net is supposed to forward to kiwifarms dot st. It does not because they are incorporating a faulty dns block list. Other than that it’s a great vpn and if they don’t fix it then I’ll be forced to remove them from my list of vpns that I use. Proton with Net Shield is using the same list. They refuse to fix it, so I’ve cancelled Proton.
Great VPN. Doesn't have DAITA or an alternative that Mullvad has (yet) but still an amazing VPN service. Highly recommend.
I've been using IVPN for around three months now. I'm a long-time Mullvad user, but I decided to give this tool a chance as well. I'm really enjoying it. It doesn't have as many peers as Mullvad, and the interface is a little less user-friendly. Still, I consider it a great tool and a good alternative for privacy.
Used it for a few years. IVPN has many Servers around the World. Speed was sufficent for my needs, but I rarely consume Videos via VPN connection. I was limited by the low Device Limit of just two Devices in the 3$ Tier.
iVPN is an awesome service and they are one of the only few that accept monero as payment!
Mullvad gives you 5 devices for about $5/month, while IVPN’s cheapest plan only allows 2 devices for $6/month and requires a $10/month plan for 7 devices and advanced features, i would suggest using it.
Excellent VPN, not the fastest. They have been making good updates lately, although beta versions are not on Github. Every year they do Audits.
pretty good basic plan with anonymous payments, haven't tried the pro yet. however the app is one of the better ones available for linux
