Security
| Logging policy: | No activity logs |
| Encryption strength: | AES 256 bit |
| IP types: | Shared IP (Dynamic) |
They started by offering PPTP and L2TP connections. As time passed they added support for OpenVPN. This will make the traffic more safe.
ibVPN does not track users Internet usage and does not keep logs of users’ activity.but according to ibVPN’s privacy policy,they log the following information and keep the data for 7 days:Time, date and location VPN connection was made,Duration of the VPN connection,Bandwidth used during the connection.
this is quite standard practice, even among ‘no logs’ companies.
ibVPN implements the extremely secure Blowfish algorithm with 256 bit keys to encode your data before transmitting it to the Internet.Sensitive data like contact details, social security numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers are protected with the 256 bit SSL orAES encryption giving you peace of mind that your data is secure and private at all times.
Unfortunately, ibVPN uses dynamic IPs rather than shared IPs,it is not good as static IPs,as everyone know static IPs means many users share the same IP address,it’s hard to know which individual is responsible for which actions performed online.But dynamic IPs is not like that,it’s directly linked to your real IP,that is a dangerous.
Speed and Stability
With SmartDNS,ibVPN will give you good speed experience.The OpenVPN is the most fast in our test,L2TP is just a little slow than OpenVPN,but it still pretty good.The speed of ibVPN is good to view the video like Hulu,Netflix and so on.We recommend you use UDP for streaming services like Netflix when you choose OpenVPN, You will notice an increase in speed using UDP over TCP.
Servers is a important factor for speed,though ibVPN has not so many servers,they organize their servers in the key locations around the world,and they have multiple server locations in popular countries like the United States and United Kingdom.
