Ivacy’s reasoning just doesn’t hold water in 2021. Since I started these reviews numerous services have gone public with their leadership, every antivirus company is public about its leadership, and numerous security researchers are public about their identities and their discoveries. Customers do want to remain private and they need to, but running a company is an act that happens in public, and therefore leadership shouldn’t expect the same considerations as a private citizen. From my point of view in these reviews, there is an absolute double standard when it comes to privacy and VPNs.

While the company makes an interesting case, it’s one I outright reject as a reviewer. You wouldn’t want anyone to know who’s behind your IP, just like that we don’t want anyone to know who’s behind Ivacy.” “Ivacy’s zero-data, zero-log policy only solidifies just how much we care about privacy and anonymity…We believe in security, privacy, and anonymity.

I asked Ivacy if anyone from the company’s senior management was public about their identity, and the response was a resounding “no.” Here’s what the company said: “Dealing with law enforcement, hackers, abusers, and harassers is a professional hazard that comes with working in the cyber security industry…The security and privacy of all our global employees is paramount for us to keep expanding and working as a global cyber security industry.” Ivacy’s website doesn’t list anyone from its management, but at one time it did list its CEO as “Mr. But Ivacy is yet another service that prefers to remain secretive about who’s running the company, and has a business address halfway around the world, ostensibly in the name of user protection and privacy. It’s not uncommon for VPN services, even small ones, to employ people in various countries around the world.
