Is IPVanish considered a trustworthy VPN these days?

I came across some info about it providing user data to the government in 2016, which makes me hesitant. I know they’ve undergone several independent audits since then, but I’m still unsure if it’s safe to use.

That case was CP. If you’re just torrenting or trying to evade geoblocking, it’s irrelevant and pretty much any providers will do. If you’re actually doing something that will attract the LE, a VPN isn’t what you want.

That’s nonsense. You’ve already handed over user data to the US government. Plus, since you’re based in the US, the government can legally compel you to start logging, and you’re prohibited from disclosing it. For all we know, you might already be doing it.

We don’t have the details of the event in question as it occurred under prior management and ownership of IPVanish nearly a decade ago under different logging policies.

IPVanish does not log any users’ traffic information or data and therefore there is no relevant traffic or browsing information that could be passed to the government. More information about our 3rd party verified no log policy can be found here

I will repeat:

Since you’re based in the US, the government can legally compel you to start logging, and you’re prohibited from disclosing it. For all we know, you might already be doing it.
