I&amp;#x27;ve never seen it go cheaper than this in any sales of any kind.&lt;p&gt;Some sites like Google will mark you as a bot and force captchas for searches, probably due to its userbase and their shared IPs.&lt;p&gt;Comparatively fewer servers compared to popular VPNs like PIA and TorGuard. This leads to me getting the same IP address for each server I connect to. Not sure if this is a pro or a con.&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, speed has been good, connection has been stable (a few disconnects here and there but it seems to have smoothed out for now), and I hope the chart is accurate in terms of security and privacy on their part.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve tested many others including AirVPN and NordVPN as well but haven&amp;#x27;t seen a definitive reason yet for the higher price tag on IVPN. Not that I&amp;#x27;m not happy with IVPN, which I am, I&amp;#x27;m just also an incredible cheapskate.</text></comment>

Good to know that&amp;#x27;s not the case.&lt;p&gt;Couple of things that are missing. I use IPSec&amp;#x2F;L2TP. Does not seem to have columns tracking these. I did a bunch of sorting and filtering and the following seem to be the only providers that check all the marks for no logging and good business practices.&lt;p&gt;* AzireVPN&lt;p&gt;* IVPN&lt;p&gt;* SecureVPN.to&lt;p&gt;* Trust.Zone</text></comment>
