IVPN
Hardcore privacy — anonymous signup, WireGuard, multi-hop, and no mainstream-VPN nonsense.
Why it matters
IVPN sits alongside Mullvad as a top pick for privacy-maximalist developers. Anonymous signup with no email required, WireGuard by default, multi-hop routing, and open-source apps. Gibraltar jurisdiction. IVPN is transparent about who runs the company and has published a clear ethics statement. Priced slightly higher than Mullvad ($6/mo for Standard, $10/mo for Pro with port forwarding and multi-hop), but with the same no-compromise approach to privacy. PCMag and Privacy Guides both rank it near the top.
