IVPN
IVPN is a Gibraltar-based VPN provider that emphasizes minimal accounts, open-source clients, and privacy-oriented payment options. Gibraltar is European but is not an EU member, which matters when geographic origin is part of a sales claim.
The ordinary account and payment model should be distinguished from IVPN Unlinked Access, which explores a design for separating service entitlement from the provider’s normal account relationship.
IVPN now also develops and operates Portmaster and SPN. That adds a local application firewall, network visibility, and per-connection onion routing to the company’s product surface.
IVPN is a market reference in Privacy competitors and inspirations, not evidence that every VPN claim is independently verified. Deployment advice still requires a threat model, current audit evidence, and clear explanation of what a VPN cannot hide.
