IVPN Client is a Windows VPN app for people who want control over protocol choice, traffic routing and network rules. It is the official desktop client from IVPN Limited. The download link on this page points to repo.ivpn.net, the official IVPN server, so the file is never served from our side.
Who needs WireGuard, OpenVPN and a kill-switch
The client suits people who want to pick their own tunnel protocol. It supports both OpenVPN and WireGuard, and its tags point to privacy and security as the focus.
It requires Windows 10 or later. This page covers only the Windows package.
Multi-Hop, split tunnel and Trusted Networks in practice
The feature list includes a kill-switch, Multi-Hop, Split Tunnel, Trusted Networks, AntiTracker and Custom DNS. Split Tunnel lets you choose which traffic stays outside the VPN, and Trusted Networks is aimed at defining networks where the VPN behaves differently.
The app also has a dark mode. Check the settings after install to see how each option is configured.
The 122.3 MB package and the account question
The installer is 122.3 MB, which is large for a client, and the current version is 3.15.15. The app is free to download and uses the GPL license.
