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
