Our new blog post covers the why's and how's of data collection, hard-to-solve privacy issues and suggested next actions. "Just use a VPN" won't suffice for fixing the collective privacy problem. ivpn.net/blog/privacy-i…
If you want better privacy online, use a VPN, but don’t expect perfect protection - no matter what certain services promise. We explore this issue in the next post of the blog series about our industry: ivpn.net/blog/vpn-imper…
Read ‘Why you don’t need a VPN’ - the first post in our blog series ‘VPN Worst Practices’. It covers misleading marketing messages and common misconceptions on what VPNs are useful for. ivpn.net/blog/why-you-d…
