## Ways to pay less

- **Yearly billing about 17% below monthly** (Annual discount): Standard costs $60 a year against $72 for twelve months at $6. Plus ($80 against $96) and Pro Suite ($100 against $120) save the same share. Source: https://www.ivpn.net/en/pricing/

## Key features

- **Signup without an email address:** An account is a generated ID with no email required, and IVPN accepts card, PayPal, Bitcoin, Lightning, Monero and cash.
- **WireGuard, OpenVPN and IPSec:** Quantum-resistant WireGuard is on by default in the apps, with automatic key and IP rotation on a schedule you set.
- **Multi-hop routes:** Sends traffic through two servers in separate jurisdictions. Included on every tier since the May 2026 plan changes.
- **AntiTracker:** A DNS-based blocker for ads, adware, malicious sites and trackers, built into the apps. modDNS on Plus and Pro Suite extends it.
- **Obfuscation for blocked networks:** V2Ray obfuscation on every platform, plus obfs4 for OpenVPN on desktop, for connecting from networks that block VPNs.
- **Mailx, modDNS and Portmaster:** Email aliases, filtered encrypted DNS and an app firewall run by IVPN, each signed into separately without sharing your IVPN account ID.

## Good for

- People who want to pay for a VPN without giving an email or card
- Buyers who want open-source apps and yearly third-party audits
- Small teams that want per-seat VPN billing without dedicated servers

## Worth knowing

- There is no free trial or free plan; IVPN offers a 1-week plan and a 30-day refund, available once per customer.
- Servers are in 58 locations across 41 countries, and IVPN states it offers no port forwarding and no streaming guarantees.
- Portmaster Pro, the main Pro Suite extra, runs only on Windows and Linux.
- Teams has no dedicated servers or IPs and is not a way into a company network, per IVPN's teams page.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. IVPN is for people who'd rather their VPN knew nothing about them: no email at sign-up, cash or Monero accepted, and open-source apps. Standard is $60 a year on 5 devices, and it renews at that same price. There's no free plan or trial, though, just a $2 week, and no port forwarding.

- **Value for money: C.** Standard is $60 a year and renews at that, so two years cost $120, about $5 a month, right in the middle of what VPNs charge. Monthly is $6, and Plus and Pro Suite are $80 and $100 a year for the email aliases, DNS filtering and app firewall.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free: no free plan and no trial. IVPN points you to a $2 one-week plan for trying it, and the 30-day refund is once per customer. Neither of those is a trial.
- **Features: C.** Multi-hop, the AntiTracker blocker, WireGuard with key rotation, and V2Ray and obfs4 for networks that block VPNs. But the listing names the gaps: no port forwarding, no streaming promises, 5 devices on Standard and servers in 41 countries.
- **Ease of use: B.** No App Store rating on record. You generate an account ID instead of signing up with an email, then install the app and connect, with nothing to configure first.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android, all with open-source apps. There's no integration list or API on record, so it stops at B.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace IVPN you would be making servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 13 of the 16 other VPNs grade higher. It costs $60 a year. IVPN is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.

- You could make: Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
