IVPN infrastructure has been expanded with a new gateway in Buenos Aires, Argentina. - ISP: Datapacket. Visit our Server Status page for more information: https://ivpn.net/status/

The following VPN gateways will be decommissioned on Sunday, 30 March. New endpoints are now in operation.

Atlanta removals: us-ga1, us-ga2
Atlanta new endpoints: us-ga3, us-ga4, us-ga5

Chicago removals: us-il1, us-il2
Chicago new endpoints: us-il3, us-il4, us-il5
Dallas removals: us-tx1, us-tx2, us-tx3
Dallas new endpoints: us-tx4, us-tx5, us-tx6

Additionally, a new VPN gateway has been added in San Jose, California (us-ca8).

@pfr We do not restrict policy-based routing, though there are no guides on our site for such a configuration.

The OpenWrt site offers a landing page with a couple of options that might offer clues on how to proceed:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/routing/pbr

If you connect to servers in any of the above locations using the IVPN apps, no manual action is required. To ensure traffic is protected even when connections are lost and established to new gateways, we recommend using the IVPN killswitch feature. https://www.ivpn.net/knowledgebase/general/do-you-offer-a-kill-switch-or-vpn-firewall/

Dates for further migrations will be communicated in due course.

If you rely on any servers on the removals list for persistent connections, we advise manually switching over to new endpoints as soon as possible. You can find further connection details on our website. https://ivpn.net/status/

In March and April 2025, IVPN will replace VPN gateways at six U.S. locations: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and New Jersey. By adding more providers to existing locations, we aim to enhance provider diversity across our network.
Replacement process starts with LA, Miami and New Jersey gateways going offline on 19 March.

LA removals: us-ca1, us-ca2, us-ca4
LA new endpoints: us-ca6, us-ca7
Miami removal: us-fl1
Miami new endpoint: us-fl2
NJ removal: us-nj3
NJ new endpoint: us-nj1

This process is now complete—on-chain and LN payments are fully available again.

Due to planned maintenance Bitcoin payments will be temporarily unavailable on ivpn.net for a brief period from 6am UTC tomorrow (25 Feb). Once completed, both on-chain and LN payments will be reinstated as payment options.

We have identified a potential leak issue affecting our iOS app in brief intervals during WireGuard key regeneration. We advise IVPN customers using the IVPN iOS app to update to the latest version (v2.12.5) as soon as possible. Details: https://www.ivpn.net/blog/key-rotation-issue-fix-in-ivpn-ios-app/

@secparty_rae @raphty please reach out to Safing support with report of issues sharing more details and Raphael & team will try to help you resolve it. As of today Portmaster is still 100% operated by the same team under the same infrastructure, so any change in user experience is not connected to the sale / handover or related changes.

@joeturner@mas.to macOS support will be considered, roadmap is not nailed down yet but we will publish a rundown on the plans later.

Portmaster will be available separately as it is now for those who do not want to interact with IVPN apps. We will considering integrations (eg. IVPN tunnels in Portmaster, or SPN exits from IVPN). We have not talked about plans yet as we need to complete the handover process first to understand the possibilities and technical challenges in depth. Coming soon.

@joeturner@mas.to Thanks for the feedback.

Re: #1 - do you have a specific use case for needing more locations? which ones you lack specifically? It's not economical (for bare metal servers) to add locations which are not utilised.

#2, #3 will be taken into consideration as there will be improvements in those areas.

Re: #4 - this is unlikely. Streaming is a cat and mouse game and requires tradeoffs - most importantly for resources. We rather prioritise projects that improve privacy+security.

@caralice We don't distribute the .ipa file directly. If you are interested in testing the IVPN iOS app, you can participate in our Public Beta via TestFlight or review the source code - https://github.com/ivpn/ios-app

Last year, we laid down the groundwork for new projects to help people better resist online surveillance.

In addition to major infrastructure upgrades and planned app improvements, we are preparing to launch new services this year.

Details on our blog: https://www.ivpn.net/blog/ivpn-year-in-review-plans-for-2025/

This is process has concluded. An update is required if you connected to our Luxembourg gateway via custom configuration. You can start with generating new config files in the My Account area, or gather necessary IP information from our server status page. https://www.ivpn.net/en/status/

@divergency thanks for the feedback. we've got to know the founders well in the past months and would have no reservations using Portmaster or SPN now. Regarding router use, we add it to our list to evaluate.

@solene thanks Solène!
