Service Overview and Reviews
Protocols: OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP and SSTP
Service: ibVPN offer various VPN service packages via multiple servers with unlimited bandwidth in up to 47 countries (depending on package).
For P2P you’ll need the full Ultimate VPN or the cut down (9 Countries) Torrent package.
The client software is good allowing easy switching between servers and VPN protocols. There is an automatic connection and reconnection option and you can check server load before you connect.
5 simultaneous connections per account are permitted with the Ultimate package.
A free 24 hour trial is available to test the service.
Business VPN packages are also available for multiple users.
Privacy: Domiciled in Romania, ibVPN do not monitor internet usage or keep logs on users’ activity. See their Policy/Terms/FAQ
Our Thoughts: We tested the Total VPN Package and were impressed with the ease of installation and functionality of the software. Download speeds were reasonable in our tests on the P2P servers and OK across the network overall.
Good price reductions on the longer term plans for all packages.
