IVPN wins on candor. Its pricing page lists what it does not do: no port forwarding and no streaming guarantees, with a network of 58 locations in 41 countries. What it does offer is a carefully built privacy service. Signup needs no email, apps are open source, WireGuard connections are quantum resistant, and annual third-party audits have run since 2019. AntiTracker blocks trackers at the DNS level, and obfuscation protocols help on restrictive networks. Pricing is plain USD with no countdown timers: Standard costs $6 a month, $60 a year or $2 for a single week, which is handy for a trip. Plus and Pro Suite add DNS and email privacy services and more devices. If you mainly want to stream, look elsewhere. If you want a VPN that tells you exactly what you are buying, IVPN is a strong choice.
Who it is for
Privacy-focused users who want transparency over streaming and server counts.
Price
Standard $6 per month, $60 per year or $2 per week; Plus $8 per month; Pro Suite $10 per month; 30-day refund window.
