IVPN for Android v2.11.0 is out with V2Ray obfuscation options for WireGuard, including VMESS/QUIC and VMESS/TCP. Available via our website, Accrescent and the Play store.
V2Ray VMESS/QUIC and VMESS/TCP is now supported in the IVPN app on all platforms. As a next step we are working on improving our iOS implementation for better stability of V2Ray connections.

Feature wise it is matching the basics of competing services (alias creation, catch-all aliases, PGP). Two clear advantages we can see vs. others is on the trust side -> 1. fully open source: https://github.com/ivpn/mailx 2. audited - results will be published on Monday.

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.

IVPN is now on Nostr.
Following a conversation at Baltic Honeybadger with @npub18am…p424 regarding the pros and cons of 'company operated accounts on Nostr' + hearing talks on the future of free speech online, we are convinced that this is the right place (or rather, protocol) to be for us.
We've maintained a reserved, low-key presence on other social channels for many years. We as a team and as individuals prefer not to shout louder in a cacophony. While some companies thrive on oversharing for engagement and treating social communities as marketing funnels, such tactics don't align with our straightforward, no-bullshit approach.
For Nostr we are trying something different, without any compromise on these values. Expect more posts with direct opinions, in-depth analysis, privacy/VPN consultation and anything else that contributes to the community.
To anyone we've met at Bitcoin and other conferences over the years - hello! Nice to see you here. We are ready to continue the hundreds of conversations we had around trust, transparency, sovereignty, open-source ideals, LN merchant adoption, circular economy for Bitcoin and new radical ideas.
Reach out in public or private if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions. Let's do this!
