No traffic logs, no bandwidth logs, and no duration logs. This means that the only data that Ivacy keeps about its customers is the email address associated with each account. Ivacy actually upholds it’s advertised zero-logging policy, and they do it better than just about any other VPN that I have reviewed. While I was reviewing Ivacy’s VPN, I did indeed scour through the fine print in great detail and quite frankly… I was shocked. In fact, this issue has become so pronounced within the VPN industry, that I no longer trust any VPN provider’s claims of “Keeping no logs” until I have read every word in their privacy policy. One of my biggest pet peeves when reviewing any VPN provider is a falsely advertised “Zero Logging” policy, and unfortunately, this trend seems to become more and more pervasive by the day.
A True No Logging Policy (That’s Actually Upheld) However, at only $2.04 a month, their speeds far exceed the expectations set by their nominal price tag. If you are a seasoned VPN user, Ivacy’s speeds are nothing to get excited about, and if you are in need of a faster VPN, you should check out our reviews of Surfshark (review) and ExpressVPN (review). However, we have tested over 70+ VPNs for this site so we have a baseline that we can compare every VPN against.Īll in all, Ivacy’s speeds are solidly middle of the road.Īlthough I was disappointed to find that their Asia servers were completely unusable, at 53.0 Mbps for an EU server, Ivacy’s speeds are up to par with competitors like TorGuard (review) and Buffered (review). * As always take these speed tests with a grain of salt since they rely on so many different variables and can change from person to person. In order to ensure the accuracy of this review, I conducted a couple of simple speed tests at to determine just how quick Ivacy really is. Much to my own surprise, the answer is… Pretty well. With such affordable pricing plans, many of you are probably wondering how Ivacy’s services match up to their more steeply-priced competitors. Like several of their competitors, Ivacy technically offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, however, as you will see later in this review, it’s not quite what it seems. Whether you want to use your MasterCard, PayPal account, Bitcoin, or Paymentwall, they have you covered. I was also pleased when I saw just how many different payment methods Ivacy allows potential customers to use. With the exception of their monthly pricing package, Ivacy offers one of the most competitively priced VPN services that I have ever seen. One of Ivacy’s biggest selling points is their ultra-affordable 24-month pricing package. They make torrenting a breeze with P2P optimized servers in the USA and Canada and also allow their customers to connect to their VPN service using all major protocols including OpenVPN, PPTP, SSTP, L2TP, IKEv2.Īdd to that, Ivacy offers 5 simultaneous connections and an internet kill switch.Īnd, luckily they offer all of these features (plus many more that we will discuss in a moment) for about the same price as a cup of coffee. While Ivacy offers an admittedly sparse network of only 5,700 servers across 100 locations, the servers in question are highly optimized for the price that you are paying (as you will see in a minute). Ivacy offers a VPN services that are compatible with almost every device on the marketplace including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, routers, smart TVs and even your Xbox. Ivacy VPN Overview OVERALL RANK:Ģ56-bit, OpenVPN, PPTP, SSTP, L2TP, and IKEv2 So with all of this in mind, I decided to review Ivacy for myself to see whether or not this relatively unknown VPN could play in the “Big Leagues”. In fact, in 2010, it was Ivacy’s technology team that was responsible for unveiling the revolutionary concept of split tunneling, a technology which allows users to decide what traffic is sent through an ISP and what traffic is protected by their VPN. Operated under the umbrella of PMG Private Limited, Ivacy is an understandably secretive company.
Headquartered in the weird and wonderful island-nation of Singapore, Ivacy VPN has been protecting their customer’s online experiences since early 2007.ĭespite their impressive decade-plus tenure in the VPN marketplace, Ivacy is still a relatively unknown brand. Over the course of this review, I will be going over everything, including their (Ivacy) pricing, features, speed, cons, and pros.
