You can pay via credit card, PayPal, or Bitcoin via IVPN’s own BTCPay Server. Payment options offer varying amounts of anonymity.
If you’re concerned about anonymity you could use a burner email address. Requiring a unique username isn’t that common, but the email requirement is about average for the world of VPNs.
#IVPN FIREWALL PASSWORD#
Then to use the VPN, IVPN assigns you a username with the same password as your account. To sign in to IVPN’s customer portal on the web you need an email address and password. IVPN’s privacy policy page also explains what kind of information is kept about you based on your payment method. Other information it keeps includes your IVPN ID, email address, and expiry date for service. It does log the number of simultaneous connections, which are limited to five per account. IVPN’s privacy policy says the company doesn’t log traffic, DNS requests, connection timestamps or session duration, bandwidth use, or IP addresses. Still, for those curious about WireGuard, IVPN’s implementation is one to try. There could be a host of factors contributing to this so I’ll wait to run formal tests until WireGuard on Windows is more mature. Playing around with it, however, I saw some mixed results, with some locations overperforming and others not so much. I didn’t run any speed tests with the new protocol since it’s so early in its development. Given that we’re not even at a 1.0 release yet, I wouldn’t recommend WireGuard on IVPN for mission-critical tasks, but if you want to try it out it’s there. IVPN is using version 0.17 of WireGuard in its app, along with some special modifications you can read about on IVPN’s site. That’s not a surprise as WireGuard on Windows development is in its very early stages. IVPN’s connection settings let you switch to using the WireGuard protocol. This, however, is the first time we’ve seen WireGuard on Windows.
#IVPN FIREWALL MAC#
The new VPN protocol, which is said to use “state-of-the-art cryptography,” is already in Mac and Linux builds of various VPNs such as Mullvad for Linux, IVPN for Mac, and NordVPN for Linux. The most interesting change, however, is the addition of WireGuard. This makes both of those services inaccessible, but if you don’t want them tracking you, then it’s probably a good idea to stay away from their services anyway. IVPN’s ad blocking also sports a “hardcore mode” where you completely cut off Facebook and Google.
