So far so good. I’ve been running regular speed tests to compare with mullvad, while I had both. Speed wise ivpn is slightly slower on average (5% or so), but also seen occasional large slowdown on ivpn which I didn’t see on mullvad. Especially some locations seem very inconsistent on ivpn.

It’s good, but some improvements on consistency would be welcome.

You can’t buy it from a company. It’s still possible (and afaik legal) to buy from another person off a p2p exchange.
