Another run-of-the-mill "VPN", which can't be compared to AirVPN at all haha . I like how they have servers in Russia, China, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, Colombia... Heck, they even managed Nigeria!(There goes that plan) :lol:. I think they're pretty much everything AirVPN isn't. Just another "Netflix VPN", judging by how they market themselves on their site. They have "all the protocols!" and "all the server locations!" so to speak and while they claim they don't log, they employ Google Analytics on their site. Not to mention they say they have "256-bit encryption" --- Which encryption? (They later mention it's AES). I also thought that this was funny:
Isn't that virtually all the servers? Haha. This also contradicts what it says on their main page, wherein the UK and Canada are listed as being two of the P2P optimized locations.
They also don't offer free trials, which is curious. But a 7 day money back scheme, which as Lifehacker points out: "At $1.83 a month (when you purchase a yearly subscription) it's not a hard sell for anyone who might be strapped for cash. Just be careful about their 7-day money-back guarantee, which is only valid if less than 500mb in data transfers have been made." Maybe isn't the best.

"It does have a slightly dodgy history of essentially bribing bloggers and reviewers with free subscriptions, however, so some of the more glowingly positive reviews and comments should be taken with a very large grain of salt." The only place they were "mentioned" on TechCrunch seems to be for a short commentary about using a VPN while gaming. Totally unrelated to their service. As for their "TechInAsia" review, it's actually authored by their marketing manager it seems. It's also funny to consider that the name of their marketing manager changed, between the Techcrunch article in June 2016 and the TechinAsia article or post in August 2016 - unless they have multiple marketing managers for some reason. Then there's the Geektime review, which reads like a paid-for review, as it lists Ivacy as the number 1 VPN for 2016. They also included PureVPN and other suchs legends in the top 5 .
Who knew there might be claims of fraudulent activities originating from Nigeria? Hahaha. So if you're an African user, no account for you. But if you give them your real ID, they can make an exception. Wow. Maybe one could be cheeky and ask... But if there's "no logging" and all that as you claim, how would you know where they reside?
Online privacy is turning out to be one of the biggest notions with each passing day. With that being said, it is of prime importance for users to make sure that their online activities are secured enough. That includes all devices along with the various browser extensions. It is one of their fundamental rights to keep their online identities safeguarded from the multiple agencies of data surveillance including their ISP. It is possible to maintain the online freedom irrespective of their location. This is where the various browser VPNs come into service. In case anyone is planning to subscribe to any VPN services, we have come up with a list of the top service providers across multiple platforms. top vpn browsers
