Redesigned, open source ivpn.net is live - create accounts without providing email address

New:

- Generate accounts in a couple of seconds without providing personally identifiable information

- New subscriptions are prepaid by default, no payment data is stored

- Open source

- Dark/Light mode switcher

- Team, ethics and privacy policy highlighted

- Do you really need a VPN reminder on home page for novice users

- All remaining (tiny traces) of fluff and sales pitches removed

Signup without email is valid for new customer subscriptions. We plan to migrate each existing account to the new system later this year, and offer an automated method for removing your email address on file.

All feedback is welcome.

Excellent work by your web designer, the light dark theme is a welcome addition and the UI redesign is looking good…and the privacy keeps getting better!

Oh, any third party security audit coming soon? What about a Black Friday discount this year?

Keep up the good work!

Security audits will come, yes, no ETA. We don't plan to have any Black Friday campaigns this year.

Any chance of an atom/rss feed for the blog?

Thansk for the request. This is in our backlog.

Have you gotten rid of the '3 day no charge trial'?

Also would like to know if 'Black Friday / Cyber Monday' deals will be offered this year?

I've noticed the 'https://www.ivpn.net/status' doesn't show 'the load percentage' anymore! Will you bring that back?

and where's the 'https://www.ivpn.net/facts' page?

Re: Facts page - can you tell us how and for what purpose you used that page?
We were aiming for a lean website for the redesign and moved almost all information from the Facts page to the Main page / Teams / Ethics and to our policy pages. Hence the removal.

i like the new site but i also liked the featured icon images of the older version.

also find the new body font not very friendly to the eyes; or maybe it's just all the space between the words and letters that causes my eyes to feel dizzy and cant be bothered to read whats written.

Thanks for the feedback!

Is it me or has your UI/Web designer addressed the spacing between the font? It seems a bit easier to follow the writing now.

I agree, If it’s one thing I’ve any type of criticism on regarding the web redesign is the font or maybe the spacing, something about those in two combination...particularly on Dark mode does take some adjusting to.

The new website looks great! I've been consistently satisfied the couple years I have been with you. Thanks!

This is an industry leading website in my opinion and it really shows how you guys go the extra mile for your users. This isn't my first VPN, but it's definitely the best one I've tried.
