Not really surprising. In the U.S. almost all of the media outlets in the country is owned by something like only 6 companies. I did find this bit amusing:
>Gaditek, the Karachi-based tech company, officially claims to own just 3 VPN products (PureVPN, Ivacy and the newer Unblock VPN & Proxy). However, we’ve discovered two more VPN products. We also show that this company runs the VPN review sites , , , and 2 others
Regardless of this news, they have been a shady provider from the beginning, even with their marketing techniques alone. They constantly make fake user names, astroturf, and shill all over Reddit and deals sites.
They use fake server locations as well. Ivacy and PureVPN are one in the same company, btw.
I wouldnt want to be accused of advocating for a particular VPN. I am subscribed to Ivacy though which I think I bought a 2 year sub for less than £2 a month. Its not the absolute fastest, so I have been told, but for just casual torrenting I am happy with it.
See the below link for some reviews:

PIA is a class act. Cheap, reliable, and I trust them. I sign up by the year.
I’ve tried others. and Shadeyou are slow.
Ivacy is the worst I’ve tried. Terrible customer service and communications. The only good thing is decent speeds and many servers around the country. Ivacy will leak dns so its imperative to change dns servers to something else. I use PIA’s dns servers system wide."
From a site reviewing VPNs
Dont jump on this "offer" its a random vpn you are handing all your data over to them they can do ANYTHING with it.
They can steal your data and see EVERYTHING and log everything.
​
if you want a legit Netflix vpn there are many out there but without looking i know Ivacy works.
I've used a lot of VPN providers Ivacy, Torguard, ProtonVPN, NordVPN and PIA before deciding on Mullvad, Which at the time of me writing this is the only VPN to get a "TOP CHOICE" badge from I'm very happy with Mullvad and have absolutely no complaints. They're great. And you know that I'm not affiliated with them because they don't actually have an affiliate program.
You can learn more at
> NordVPN and ExpressVPN seem to be pretty much the most popular and well rated VPNs around
The Most popular one would be PIA cause its cheap.
​
Nord and Express vpn are the vpn with the most ads.
​
Other good vpn are Air vpn ( Great service , open source app awesome speed ) Ivacy , cyberghost , torguard , perfect privacy and more.
there are only 2 barely trust worthy p2p friendly vpn that are free
Siga vpn
and Betternet
but both lack even the basic abilities to protect you. so not recommended
and dont forget running a SAFE and SECURE vpn is expensive af.
better would be Ivacy lifetime ( 20 € approx )
air vpn monthly / year
or pia monthly / year
I would suggest accessing facebook and other websites using Ivacy VPN service as it is faster and more secure. Chinese authorities have recently started rigorous online surveillance, and hence VPN services provide secure internet connection as well as privacy. If you want to increase your speed, I would suggest going for a good VPN service such as Ivacy. ( ) It is a good VPN service, and they have recently increased their servers catering to 150+ locations. While you can always go for free proxy services as well, but they come with a price. They will decrease your internet speed substantially and you’d have to compromise on security as well.
I got it during the lifetime deal a while back
One thing that really impresses me is how well split tunneling works
I had experienced that cheaper services have tons of issues, even normally good ones like Ivacy (despite usually being good) have fucked up split tunneling
With windscribe i had split tunneling working the day they updated it
Another vote for Mullvad here.
I used nordVPN when I was looking for a new VPN and couldn't handle it, the servers were slow and unstable. Netflix and Hulu worked great on them which is a plus, but the speeds were honestly unbearable. I have an 85/85MBPS connections and with Nord I got into the single digits. Customer support was rude and overall just a bad experience. (this was when connecting to the closest server to me.)
I tried PIA for a week or so and had no problems, but I have my doubts about VPNs located in the 5 eyes.
After a lot of research I ended up going with Mullvad. The only VPN to get the ThatOnePrivacySite TOP CHOICE badge
A list of VPNs I had tried before settling on Mullvad (in no particular order.): Torguard,Ivacy,PIA,NordVPN,ProtonVPN (Another great one, but very pricey).
Haven't had a problem with Mullvad. Would really recommend.
If it's the torrenting you need one for, then Mullvad is the best no questions asked. Not sure about the other personas. I am using Ivacy myself. Their plans are not so pricey, also you get to enjoy free 2 TB encrypted cloud storage as well. I personally bought it after it was endorsed by TechRadar for its streaming functionality.
Then connect to Proton and visit , they have a free seedbox for torrents up to 10gb. Another alternative is r/PiratedGames is giving everyone who wants it a free day of Ivacy VPN, so you could queue up a bunch of torrents and let them sit overnight
I am using Ivacy and its the same thing with Hulu at least, sometimes I can go a few hours before "Reseting" it other times It stops after 30 minutes. It does have a built in setup for "Streaming" that makes it pretty easy though.
Using a vpn will protect and is fine.
It should be a non logging one.
Any vpn of that list will do it.
Air vpn. Pia. Ivacy. Cyberghost. Torguard. Express vpn. Perfect privacy. Nord vpn
In no particular order.
Just choose one ivacy got lifetime deals if you want but isn't as easy as let's say air vpn or Pia to use.
May I ask what other vpn you have used?
I've been searching for an alternative, so far I've tried using Ivacy and pure vpn and both are slow compare to express. My normal speed without expressvpn is around 25-30mbps and HK1 gives the best result around 4-5mbps and 60-80 ping.
I am more interested in seeing how companies that are directly involved in dealing with user data would respond to GDPR. Specifically VPN companies like Nord, Express, Windscribe and Ivacy who have till now garnered a good reputation; how would they be addressing things to their customers would be something to observe.
> Ivacy VPN, one of the fastest emerging virtual private network (VPN) service has announced the Kodi VPN add-on for devices supported by OpenELEC operating system.
> Although Ivacy addon for Kodi/XBMX player is absolutely free, you need to have an active Ivacy account which costs 1.83 p/month.
Same. An audio ad for Ivacy VPN plays each time the user enters the Settings menu of CouchPotato. If you exit and return to Settings or refresh the Settings page and the ad will play again.
The ad begins: "So, you are someone who just loves torrenting..."
As OP said, outrageous.
NZBHydra is a tremendous app. For now, I'll be shutting down CouchPotato and using Hydra exclusively. I'd rather not be surprised by whatever may be next in the CouchPotato monetization scheme.
> Which VPN is the best for me?
No one can tell you. I use Ivacy (), it is cheap, fast and does not keep logs
> will be able to pay via PayPal or PaySafeCard
You may pay for most of the VPNs via PayPal (including Ivacy)
> I will mostly be torrenting
Choose a VPN that allows torrenting (Ivacy allows it)

If you keep internet kill switch and secure DNS enabled then you are good to go.
First of all there's a difference between Smart DNS and A VPN. Unblock-US is not a VPN it's a Smart DNS. It's used to unblock geo-restricted websites, but it does not make you anonymous or hide your i.p. A good VPN makes you anonymous by masking your i.p so that no one can figure out from where you are actually connecting from. I've been using Ivacy VPN to watch NFL and NHL online during my trips to Asia, and it work great. Maybe if you change your protocol, you can gain access to unrestricted site.
Hi NancyStuart,
In my opinion the home page is too text heavy and should be broken up with more images and shorter text along the lines Envoken stated. Focus copy on pain points and shorten it. You want people to know almost immediately what Ivacy does so they don't bounce.
In terms of increasing followers on your social pages you might try participating in discussions on current events on major news sites with a username that is Ivacy Privacy Management or something like that. This may help to drive some to your sites out of curiosity if you provide good content.
Lastly posting articles and white papers that provide details on some of the research that Ivacy has done in the sector on LinkedIn group pages can drive traffic as well.
Just my two cents.
Good luck!
Yeah, you can run your own OpenVPN server on AWS/Azure/GCP, give it a static IP and port forward. You can then get a cheap VPN router, like a mango or , and then add the ovpn config to it. Most of the consumer VPN services around won't support static IP +port forwarding (in some cases they just lie outright about having this capability. Looking at you Ivacy).
There's a few decent tutorials on YouTube which goes through the process (it's the same regardless of wether you're doing an off grid set up or not). Should take you an hour or two - just follow the instructions to the letter, and cost about $0-8/mo depending on wether or not you've already used the free offerings on your chosen cloud provider.
Completely in agreement. I also have the so-called "lifetime" membership which expires at the end of 5 years. The VPN usually fails to reconnect after the computer awakes from sleep. Ivacy just released version 6 of their Windows client and it still has this same problem release after release. Often then it shows as connected while simultaneously giving the message "unable to browse". Maybe the message should be "unable to browse because your VPN sucks". Closing the VPN program solves the problem.
I’m using Ivacy which works fine. I got a 5 year deal on Black Friday a few years back, so if you can wait til then you’ll probably get some good long term deals, but I think Ivacy is pretty reasonable anyway.
It's quite astonishing to see that the Free version worked and you were able to play the game. As free ones usually have DNS leakages and your real identity can be traced. I unlocked mine using Ivacy, obviously using the paid subscription.
Yes. It’s counter intuitive unless an international launch is going to happen.
I have a huge comic collection but I have to pick and choose what I buy in hard copy these days so I have comixology, marvel unlimited, dc universe and Comichaus on the go as well as mainly buying physical collections.
I’m so keen to subscribe legally to infinite in Europe.
I’ve got a 3rd VPN and it’s not working with that either. Ivacy VPN.
I guess I pause my subscription for hopefully just a few months.
Free ones will not help you by any means. If you are looking for streaming with no limits you will have to spare some money. You can choose from hundres of providers that are offering heft discounts. Such as Ivacy, Tunnel Bear, Surfshark. Ivacy was recently endorsed by TechRadar for its streaming services.
If you look/ask around, you could probably get split tunnelling working with any provider you choose. A few modifications to the config files + the OS etc.
I'd give Ivacy a go and see how it goes for you. They have a "30-Days Money Back Guarantee*".
People who think the VPN channels they purchase like Nord VPN or Ivacy I fully private are smoking crack. You are tracked by other means, you open a marketing email, or visit a website or do a google search it’s all tracked.
VPN is good for access or resources and prevention of certain attacks on public networks. Some people who do not understand security or tech will not understand till they wake up.
"I swear I've read somewhere that you can do this, but for the life of me I cannot find anything in PIA settings or on their knowledgebase. "
You have read it somewhere before most likely in a forum discussion, on a web page some place else, etc.... Its called 'split tunneling' and the reason you can't find it "in PIA settings or on their knowledgebase" is because its not there because PIA does not do split tunneling. PIA steers away from these types of "more advanced" features.
To get that functionality you will need to go with another VPN service. For example, ExpressVPN, PureVPN, and Ivacy have split tunneling, and of those three PureVPN probably has the best, most stable, and most mature split tunneling capability.
What device are you using? If you're on a PC and using Chrome or Firefox, you can use Ivacy browser extension and connect to Switzerland server. If you're using Android or iOS, you can use the app, though Chrome extension is a pretty simple method.
I use one called Ivacy - seems to work pretty well, servers in loads of countries around the world, and I got a "lifetime" account for about $40 (apparently you have to email them to keep it active after 5 years) - I just searched for something like "lifetime VPN offers" and found them via a "Groupon" style page (they distribute offers to subscribers)
All in all is Ivacy VPN one of the best VPNs we have tested! Great speed, secure connection with all the features you might ask for. What we also like is the easy to use interface.

Express vpn. Air vpn. Ivacy. Pia. Cyberghost. Torguard. Nord vpn. Perfect privacy. ( no particular order)
If you're talking about cheap and good at the same time I would recommend you no other than Ivacy VPN for Netflix. I am surprised to see so many shows unlocked because of the regional restrictions. Ivacy works great with Netflix I haven't experienced those proxy errors I was getting all the time with IPVanish. Ivacy is knows for the most cheapest VPN in the market and it does the Job just fine so you might wanna consider it.
IIRC it's 65535 combinations.
If the data ever gets requested by court order in the US to find a user, it would still give a user plausible deniability.
It is already live.
Ivacy, AirVPN, PIA, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Cyberghost, IPVanish, ProtonVPN, and VyprVPN all have analytics that collect much more information.
I will keep it short because if I start telling you the benefits of a paid VPN service especially for a gamer then that's gonna take very long. I can understand you don't want to spend on a paid VPN service but trust me when I say this there are quite a few cheap yet amazing VPN services, such as Ivacy, which can solve your said issue. Otherwise, you will never be satisfied with a free VPN.
Oh and also that Ivacy is available at an 87% black Friday discount so don't let this opportunity go waste.
Just FYI there are a lot of Reddit spam accounts for that particular VPN service. Don't be surprised if you get any replies here from those Reddit accounts telling you how awesome the service is, etc.
e.g. /u/l21zxib8tr0f33v3 is a Ivacy affiliate (see their user history) so obvs they will say great things about the service.
Reddit accounts that affiliate with VPN providers cannot be trusted to give unbiased opinions on VPNs. Granted your Reddit account isn't nearly as bad as other Ivacy VPN shills that exist on Reddit but the fact is you've affiliated with them. (in fact Ivacy is not the only VPN provider you've affiliated with)
Same applies to those VPN "review" websites littered with affiliate links. Reddit accounts spam those too.
I did give NordVPN a try, using their free trial. I found the service unbearably slow, even with my Fiber Optic Internet. Give the free trial a try, if that doesn't work out no harm done.
some alternatives I'd recommend: Mullvad, PrivateInternetAccess, Torguard, Ivacy all of which are cheaper than NordVPN.
I understand why is it that you use Opera VPN and not any other because it's free. It has an ardent fan base or had (which would be more appropriate now) but when it comes to free VPNs, you can try Ivacy and their Lite app/version in order to achieve the same result. Their app does not allow you to hand pick any particular server but since it's free, I'm guessing it will let you connect from among the most optimal ones out there. Download your desired update and well should you choose, as Odd-One-Out pointed; delete the app. In the end, it's all about getting the job done. Cheers!
Opera VPN is all set to shut down so I use Ivacy VPN. Their Lite app/ version is free but in direct response to your question for getting THAT update, I'm not so sure. I think as long as you're connected to a different region such as Germany or in @lussyphre's case Canada, it should get the job done.
Hi, excellent post. Here is a mistake in maths. ExpressVPN is 59.95 United States dollars, in Canadian dollars it is $77.31, which makes the total investment $194.31/sessions instead of $176. I am using Ivacy VPN, which is only $57.95 for 6 months. which makes the total investment only $174.95/sessions or $29/month.
I know a lot of people might be opposed but I've been using Ivacy for a few months with little to no complaints. They have servers all around the world dedicated to P2P sharing, easy to use software, and with a price point of $49 for two years it's hard to pass up.
Whether it's an Android, Windows or iOS device, now you can protect it with Ivacy VPN! This Black Friday, Ivacy is giving smartphone users an unbelievable 87% off on it's 1-year plan with the amazing 1+1 offer!
Hello Sistthha,
i had the same problem a while ago. It's funny because Express isn't a "freebie" so it shouldn't be happening. Did you give Ivacy a try? it's got danish servers that you can check out from their server page (i forgot the link). but you can find it by navigating through their homepage....
let me know if that works.
Cheers!
Truer words were not spoken. There was a time when I looked for free VPNs only. But then I learned that they keep logs of your online activity which they sell to marketing agencies. I don't if it's completely true but it's always better to be safe than sorry. I have a paid Ivacy subscription now and it works just fine!
Well without VPN it is a no no now! If you ask me, I personally use Purevpn and it is pretty decent in securing my activities and IP from my ISP (not using Verizon though). It is pretty good with downloading torrents and they have servers optimized for torrenting which is the best part. So i would suggest to go for it. You might also wanna check Ivacy too, cause it specially claims to be a torrenting VPN.
If you did, it'd likely be because the VPN turned your information over. Can't find an official site for Flash VPN, so can't look at their privacy policy. Do you know what their logging policy is? Or are they like some VPN's where if they get a DMCA notice and simply terminate your account.
Have you ran tests (such as ) to make your it's using their IP address?
Still safer to use a paid VPN in my opinion. Most paid VPN's keep no logs, so even if they did get a DMCA notice, they have nobody to give it to. There are always discounts going on, so you can lock in a good rate for the life of your account. TorGuard has a 50% off sale, $29.99 per year. Ivacy is $39 for 2 years. NordVPN is $36 for 1 year.
And there's quite a few other sales going on if you look around. has a few sales going on as well. TorrentFreak has a good write up on the best anonymous VPN's for 2016.
I'm not familiar with Ivacy in particular but I would be careful to weight ease of use against security. For most users one VPN is much like the other. Lifehacker has some great articles covering the basics of what you should look for in a VPN. If you're running on an Android box there are VPN app's you can use, including ones from PIA. That's what I recommend.
I have been using them for a couple months. They don't offer autoreconnect via the OpenVPN client. You have to go to the linux page to get the .ovpn files, support is only good for easy questions (don't ask anything technical) and there is no auto reconnect unless you use their bundled client. It really makes me wonder why they want me to use their client so badly.. Oh, search Ivacy here and you will see they tried to bribe someone for positive reviews.
No, you're not crazy. It's been all the talk over on /r/couchpotato lately.
There's a detailed writeup on how it works and how to potentially disable it. The general consensus I've seen is to quit using or boycott CP until they can either confirm or deny if this was intentionally done as a team or if it was some rogue coder making a quick buck. Many have suggested NZBHydra for now.
One thing is for certain - Ivacy VPN has only worsened their opinion with me after this stunt.
There are many great VPNs out there. I have personally used Tunnel Bear, ExpressVPN, IPVanish and Vypr VPN, and currently, I am using Ivacy VPN. Every VPN have their pros and cons. It would be easier for me to help you if you can tell me your budget and your purpose of using a VPN? Different VPNs have different personas. I use Ivacy for torrenting and streaming specifically.
> What is the best VPN to use for torrenting
I use Ivacy () and it is my favorite VPN for torrenting. But, there are many other VPNs too. Just don't forget to choose the VPN that supports Torrenting.
> how do I set it up?
You just need to buy the subscription, install the client, select additional options i.e. Internet Kill Switch, IPv6 Protection, DNS leak protection, etc and connect it.
> I am looking at Private Internet Access
It is also a good VPN, it is also one of the best VPNs for torrenting
> how to even get it to work with torrenting. Just told above
I use Ivacy VPN and it works fine for me.
>Allows torrents
Yes
>Doesn't keep logs
No logs
> Which VPR do YOU believe to be the best of the best?
I don't believe it to be the best; It's just that it works fine for me.
You can buy Ivacy (). They are running a Christmas deal in which they are offering $1.83 per month on annual subscription. They claim that they allow torrenting at fast speed and does not keep user's logs.
IPVanish is good, I have heard good reviews about it (specially its speed), so you can go with it.
> I would love to know what you all use
But, I myself use Ivacy. It has many features that makes it favorite for torrenting.
To give you an idea they give unlimited bandwidth, allow torrenting, does not keep logs, IPv6 and DNS leak protection, Internet Kill Switch (stops internet if VPN disconnects), Split Tunneling (So that I can route only torrent traffic through it) etc.
Well, Ivacy offers many great features such as: 5 multi logins Split tunneling 256 bit encryption P2P file sharing NAT Firewall DDos protection Unlimited server switching Smart Purpose Selection Unlimited Data Transfer 24/7 Customer Support Internet Kill Switch Multiple Protocols and much more!
You should use a VPN even if you do not have CISA problems. There are many reasons to use a VPN.
Yes, you can watch Netflix from other countries by VPN. I use Ivacy () to access Netflix and other websites from outside US.
you never know what a Free VPN might do with your data... hola was selling user's bandwidth for botnets! never go for a free vpn unless you are ready to compromise your privacy... I have been using Ivacy vpn for quite some time; It's quite reliable!
Simple - purchase a Ivacy VPN account, for $13 for 30 days, setup for US server. Ta da - All US based video sites now let you watch them.
I do this from the UK.
edit : price was wrong
To make it much simpler.
What I want to achieve is.. for my phone able to connect to my own OpenVPN Server (which is hosted on my home asus router). This allows my phone to access local files and resources on my home network. Going even further, my phone could also access the internet using the routing table of connections to IVACY VPN (which my same, home, asus router is also connected (as client) to the IVACY VPN. This allows my phone to use Ivacy's Public IP.
My home router handles the traffic both sides.. as a server for local resource and also as client to ivacy for privacy and security.
I hope this makes sense to you.
I use Firefox, not Brave, Brave Browser has done some shady stuff.
Protonmail, Ivacy VPN, Signal, Bitwarden, Yubikey NFC for U2F, Authy on a separate old smartphone not connected to net for backup U2F, Tor Browser.
Nah itu... Namanya Internxt, udah ada sejak kurleb 2 tahunan, dan promo "lifetime" ini sudah ada sejak setahun juga, cuma link-nya tidak dipublikasikan. Dia kerap di-bundling sama promo VPN lifetime, seperti FastestVPN, , IvacyVPN, dll. Februari lalu ada kupon yang memberikan percuma 2tb utk setahun, cuma gak gw ambil karena ragu sama company-nya dan fitur cloud yang gak selengkap kompetitor, i.e. tidak ada document editor, integrasi antar cloud, etc. Sekarang jadinya nyesel gak bisa dapat gratisan 2tb setahun.
Hasil whois domain nya sih expired date masih 2027, jadi masih cukup "aman" kalau dilihat dari situ. Dan barusan saja dapat funding 4M USD dari venture capital. Mungkin 3—4 tahun lagi masih aman ya?
Which one? I use the 4K stick and even have to run VPN on it to get Pro (using Ivacy). Not once did it lag or stutter for me this season. Actually had more issues using the Android phone app in comparison.
Totally true. Nowadays, we should never believe any company saying that their product is Free forever. I have a lot of free forever subscriptions like GSuite Legacy, Ivacy lifetime, icons8 and a lot more. Each one of them does stop these lifetime options now and then. :(
- Netflix (shared)
- Spotify (shared)
- Youtube Premium (cheap from India, sorta shared)
- TVB Anywhere
- Google One (for Google Drive space)
- Amazon Prime
- Discord Nitro
- Foodpanda Pro
- Deliveroo Plus
I'm also piggybacking on people for iQiyi and Disney+, and have a lifetime subscription to Microsoft Office 365 + 1TB OneDrive (already paid, don't have to pay again). I also have an Ivacy VPN subscription but it was pay once for lifetime subscription too.
It's called split tunneling. I think few VPNs used to do that but the number is increasing.
This shot is Ivacy VPN's android app. I think it's on windows too but i have switched to linux now with cli config so can't share a shot of a gui app.
All and none tbh. Most paid VPNs are leagues ahead of free VPNs because of more servers, better servers, better IPs than aren't blacklisted and most importantly, the 24/7 support. Sometimes even the paid ones won't work, but that's where their support centers come in. They're usually available 24/7 and help users get through their issues ASAP. And the fact most even offer a money back guarantee so even if they suck, you can always claim back your hard earned money. VPNs i can recommend include Ivacy, Nord, Pure and Express. Of course these are somewhat based on what i read over here and on other places, but mostly, i have had a positive experience with these 4 on my office laptop over the past 4/5 years.
okay man here list what u can make
Vpn4games-1 days trials Windscribe -30gb offer (we can apply coupon) Ivacy Vpn-7days trials Oreilly learning-7days trials
anyway this is short time period but u should fine with it cuz people will use your site 7 days after account expire or 1 days so u can add ads or some survey to make penny
u/vs40at , thank you for reaching out. I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying your purchase.
Rest assured that Ivacy's development teams are working tirelessly to bring new features that help to enhance user experience.
As for your Feature Requests:
1. Ivacy is working on it considering Google's upcoming changes to v3 which might disable all adblockers, we'll be building it little differently.
2. Please explain a little bit more about the white/black list feature you are discussing about.
3. The idea for a quick action button has also been forwarded to the team for consideration.
Feel free to share great ideas like this with us at any time.
People have been using VPNs to stream Netflix content for ages, and are still doing that. Netflix recently started a crackdown on the VPNs and now only a few works flawlessly such as Express, Ivacy VPN, Nord. If you use any free VPN or the ones that are not known in the market you might come across a screen where it says “something is wrong, you are using a VPN”.
Try reverse engineering. Use a VPN such as Ivacy VPN spoof your IP to US, UK, Canada or to any other region of your choice. Reach out to them and ask for a quotation. This will get you an idea about the amount they charge or usually ask from the agencies.
>Ivacy have introduced Wireguard support, but it is not possible to connect to their UK server on Wireguard. The issue has been persisting since Wireguard was introduced by them. The other protocols, like IKEV and UDP work for UK servers. On Wireguard, Switzerland and the US and others work, but not the UK.
They do have Wireguard. It's on their Android app. Under the Protocols tab.
Where are you seeing that Ivacy supports Wireguard? Looking at the website, and support portal... I see no mention of Wireguard, only IKEV, OpenVPN, L2TP and IPSEC.
Very interested in them adding support for WG.
OpenVPN servers have been rather sporadic lately, packet loss once connected (10-25%), servers offline, etc...
They told me that they solved the port forwarding issue. Could you be able to fix the relayed by now? By the way, do you buy different Ivacy account for each of your routers or use the same account? Are each of them have different ip adress?
Well, it depends. Most are not to be honest, because people have been using free providers like HSS and Browsec for ages and their free versions offer a limited number of IPs. If you just want to unblock a website in like a week or two, it's okay to not spend anything on a VPN. But if you're constantly in the need of a VPN, it's better to invest a little in it. I know Ivacy VPN has recently gone the freemium route meaning they're offering a limited number of servers for the free user and they're not as popular as HSS so if you're thinking of a free thing, you can try that out. Only commit if you think the service quality is good enough.
how did you manage to get port 44158 using Ivacy? Ive been chatting with customer service fora couple weeks now and they cant resolve. Apparently cant get me a dedicated IP either despite paying for it ..
I agree, with v6 or v6.1, the graphical user interface became buggy. Especially the dropdown menu on the select server page, when one disconnects and wants to connect to another server. It takes probably 20s to 30s before the list unfolds and then, when scrowling through it, it lags a lot.
Also, the client seems to corrupt the overall network setup on my computer, sporadically. The only way to resolve the issue is to uninstall Ivacy completely and go through the repair network process in Win10.
Apart from the Wireguard protocol does not connect to UK servers, most connections, once established, work okay for me. The speed is mostly good enough to stream BBC iPlayer or . I only use them for simple live TV streaming as one my secondary VPNs, in case my primary choice does not work.
u/SkiiiinZ Ivacy app is temporarily down for maintenance. Please send us your email address so that we can guide you through the manual installation process.
Otherwise, the app will be available on play store shortly.
Yup. Ivacy’s PF is broken. After lots of communication they basically told me so. Cancelled my subscription, returned by router, and just bit the bullet and went with heliumhelper. They send you a preconfigured router with PF and stuff all set up. It’s more expensive, but I got so frustrated with Ivacy and other VPN services that I think it’s worth it.
Hey following up here I didn’t have any luck I tried another asus router and had better luck but port forwarding wouldn’t work and the asus router caused my regular router for my house to stop working. I’ve just been mining less then a dollar a day at the moment. And I canceled my Ivacy
I’m intending to do this same this year with my Apple TV. I already have a VPN subscription (Ivacy) and F1TV pro subscription, would you mind pointing me to how you setup your router with the VPN? I looked into it briefly but I wasn’t sure whether setting it up in that way would make all my internet usage go via the VPN which I’m not sure I want, if it’s set to Netherlands for example. Or do you manually disable it when you’re not on F1 TV? Cheers
Nord VPN does not use port forwarding. If the IP your VPN gives you is not open on port 44158 or the VPN provider does not allow you to open that port, it won't work. That's the reason why I use Ivacy VPN. They have port forwarding as an option.
I am having the same issue you are. Added 44158 port on the Ivacy website, but when I try to test it portchecker is still showing everything as closed. Ivacy support isn't really the best help either. Were you able to figure anything out?
I left California last August for Europe, have not had any problem trading on my Samsung Note using mobile internet. I love that usa pre - market starts @ noon. You have to have VPN installed ! I paid 50 bucks for Ivacy VPN for 2 years, always pick San Francisco location in the VPN
Could you give us a bulletproof description how this works?
- Bought Ivacy with Port Forwarding and dedicated IP.
- Then added the Port 44158 in the browser on the Ivacy website under the tab "Addons --> Port Forwarding".
- Then added them as PPTP-VPN in my Router, but Port ist still closed.
What am I doing wrong here? What am I missing?
Ah Ivacy - this so called VPN company cannot provide you with a working ovpn file. Stay far away! Waste of money and time.
And if you buy from Stacksocial- they will not refund your purchase. Don't ever buy from stacksocial too.
Ivacy is really good. Another one which I recommend is BulletVPN. FastestVPN is also not bad but a little basic ) even though they have activated a premium subscription so it might be worth to check out).
Consider canceling Mozilla VPN and choose a provider that uses OpenVPN, just about all providers do....I use Ivacy which I got at a killer price years ago...I think it was about $1/month back then with 5 years advanced purchase. Ivacy just works on any platform for OpenVPN. I wish they would get Wireguard but for the price I can't complain, they say it will be an option at some point.
Yes. I do this. I have one miner with a low gain 3bi antenna to cover the immediate area. The second one I have an 8dbi antenna to cover the long range. It's connected to a small VPN router of my main router using Ivacy vpn service because they allow port forwarding as a service.
>the only one the supports WireGuard
What's this used for?
>BulletVPN Streaming works at times
Does it work for Netflix? I'm in Canada and cannot unblock Netflix US.
Where is BulletVPN based out of?
>Ivacy, FastestVPN, and iProVPN are all resell bandwidth from PureVPN (Gaditek owned, Pakistan based, gave up logs to the FBI in the past), so they're the shittiest in even this list.
That's kinda funny because I have PureVPN from StackSocial but they are refusing to renew the lifetime membership. I actually like PureVPN but I don't use it for downloading; just general purpose things vey seldom. Unfortunately it does not unblock Netflix.
It's really good to know those guys are all connected! I saw a couple good reviews about Ivacy but now I know to stay clear.
>VPN Unlimited
This is the only other one in the list that I see standing out at being decent, at least reading about people who have been satisfied with it. Maybe it's okay for streaming but not much else?
