IVPN review

IVPN is a VPN service managed by IVPN Limited, with its registration in Gibraltar. The sign-up process requires no personal data, not even an email address. Payment options include cards, PayPal, cash, Monero, and Bitcoin. The service asserts that it does not log user activity on the VPN. Users can receive a full refund within 30 days of payment, although cash and voucher payments are non-refundable. The downside is that without an email address, IVPN cannot contact you about account issues unless you voluntarily provide one. In our view, IVPN suits users who want a VPN that is not tied to their identity.

ID rule not stated

IVPN's own pages do not give one answer on when it asks for ID.

How we read the terms

We do not give privacy services a score. We record what each provider's own pages say: when it asks for ID, the limits, who holds your coins and what it costs. Labels come from each provider's terms, never from our guess. How we read the terms

Our process

We take fees, availability, licenses and coin counts from primary sources: IVPN's own fee schedules, terms and help pages, and the public registers kept by regulators. Every value carries the date we last checked it. The values on this page were checked on October 22, 2026.
