We are more comparable to Mullvad, similar policies, similar philosophy. Pros - Some of our customers like our apps better. We sponsor Bitcoin projects like BTCPay and attend Bitcoin conferences throughout the year. We accept Lightning payments directly. Mullvad has more servers in more locations and offer stuff we don't like DAITA. IVPN is more expensive if you need more than 2 devices. npub1wlx4wqeyzzspw43gk56hlfj4k8ava262let5wvammn8djwx7jx3qp5zy3z IVPN on Nostr We have identified a potential leak issue affecting our iOS app in brief intervals during WireGuard key regeneration.

We have not considered that the nostr.json is queried with parameters ie. ?name=nostr so had to disable www redirect for /nostr.json*.

These guides also include checking for proper obfuscation implementation (obfs and v2ray), which is specifically helpful in restrictive environments like China. Of course Chinese firewall conditions might prevent you to progress at certain steps. On the other hand, our key focus with IVPN is not censorship circumvention that's why we don't manually test/QA from within China. npub1wlx4wqeyzzspw43gk56hlfj4k8ava262let5wvammn8djwx7jx3qp5zy3z IVPN on Nostr We'll look into it, thanks for the note! npub1wlx4wqeyzzspw43gk56hlfj4k8ava262let5wvammn8djwx7jx3qp5zy3z IVPN on Nostr A privacy guide series we recently wrapped up details the steps for self-auditing your VPN. npub1wlx4wqeyzzspw43gk56hlfj4k8ava262let5wvammn8djwx7jx3qp5zy3z IVPN on Nostr We'll be at Bitcoin Amsterdam on Wednesday and Thursday bearing gifts. npub1wlx4wqeyzzspw43gk56hlfj4k8ava262let5wvammn8djwx7jx3qp5zy3z IVPN on Nostr Thanks.

That's the next goal. Going through our BTCPay instance directly would be a straightforward (preferred) option but for now we'll compartmentalize from service payments.
