WireGuard shows great promise, but it is still experimental and should be treated as such. Which is great (and we love the fact that IVPN has included the option to try it out in all of its apps), but the “in theory” bit is important. WireGuard is a new open source VPN protocol that is generating a great deal of excitement in the VPN world because it is very lightweight (and therefore fast), while (in theory) also being cryptographically highly secure. Please check out our Ultimate Guide to VPN Port Forwarding for a detailed look at this subject. Port forwarding is enabled on your account page. It can improve P2P transfer rates and allows you to access games or media servers located behind the VPN. VPN port forwarding is a very useful feature that allows incoming connections through a NAT firewall. You should be aware, though, that using multihop VPN will slow down your internet connection quite considerably. IVPNs implementation of multihop is as good as it gets, allowing you to pick both the entry and exit points from any location on IVPN’s server list. Multihop VPN allows you to proxy your connection through not just one, but two VPN servers.Īs we argue here, we are not entirely convinced about the benefits of multihop VPN (at least if a single VPN provider runs both servers), but it can be useful for preventing end-to-end timing attacks.
We like the fact that IVPN’s AntiTracker includes a “Hardcore Mode” that blocks Google and Facebook, although we suspect it may break some sites.
We can’t really comment on how effective it is, but the principle is sound. It's basically just a DNS blocklist of domains known to belong to advertisers, trackers, and malware merchants. 2 or 7 simultaneous connections (depending on Plan)ĭubbed “AntiTracker” by IVPN, this feature is increasingly common in modern VPN apps.78 servers in 45 locations in 32 counties.
