About this app
IVPN is an Android VPN app that provides VPN connections through servers in more than 50 locations. Its core purpose is to help users route internet traffic through a selected VPN connection, with support for OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols and additional controls for different network situations.
VPN connections and server choices
Users can choose from server locations in multiple countries when establishing a connection. The supplied information describes these servers as fast and says that selecting a nearby location may help with connection performance. It also notes that choosing a location in a specific country can support access to geo-restricted content, although the result may depend on the service being accessed and its own restrictions.
IVPN is described for use across Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G, and 4G connections. This makes the VPN relevant when changing between common wireless and mobile networks. The app supports both OpenVPN and WireGuard, allowing users to select between the two documented protocols rather than relying on a single connection method.
Controls for connection interruptions and trusted networks
An automatic Kill Switch is included as a control for VPN interruptions. When enabled, the feature is described as cutting off the internet connection if the VPN connection drops. This is intended to prevent traffic from continuing outside the VPN connection during that interruption.
Users can also define trusted networks. The source lists this setting alongside custom DNS options, but does not specify how trusted networks are selected or what connection behavior is applied to each one. Custom DNS settings provide another configurable part of the network setup and are described as useful for privacy-related preferences and DNS-based restrictions.
AntiTracker and multi-hop options
The AntiTracker feature blocks ads, web trackers, and app trackers according to the supplied description. It is presented as a privacy and browsing-control feature that can reduce unwanted advertising and tracking activity while using the app.
IVPN also offers multi-hop connections. This option routes a connection through more than one VPN location, providing an additional connection configuration for users seeking the documented enhanced-privacy behavior. The source does not specify the number of hops or the locations available for every combination.
Devices and assistance
The Pro plan is described as supporting use on up to seven devices simultaneously. IVPN also provides customer service assistance described as available 24/7 for questions or problems. The supplied information does not state the plan price or list the exact device-sharing procedure.
