I would suggest you to think twice before you send your money to these guys.
I’ve subscribed for them in less than two hours from the time of writing this comment.
I was using another VPN provider and put my French email while signing up for the service (I love my email address ending in .fr).
I am living in Bulgaria and my VISA is registered in Bulgaria.
My first payment was rejected because I had insufficient money to pay for two months of VPN service. Well, I paid for one month.

In less than an hour I got disconnected and my user login information has been rejected. I mailed back SwissVPN customer support and they told me that my money had been refund because of « discrepancy between the information you have entered and your registered card details ».
I mailed them back with a copy of my VISA Electron and my EU ID card. In a few minutes I had another reply that it was a mistake and they flagged my payment because of « French mailaddress, purchase in Luxembourg, usage in Bulgaria, first purchase attempt denied, second with lower amount passed ».

Be aware while sending your money to these guys, as they will probably not trust you and flag your account if you subscribe using email address hosted in France, while being connected from VPN server based in Luxembourg.

Ipredator’s site is unclear about what info they might be saving about their customers. Who accessed what account at what time, and what external ip that person was given by the service. That should of course not be logged at all. They offer very little explanation of their logging practices, hell they might even be saving connections logs that shows what hosts were accessed by a particular user. Ivacy is very clear about their policy. They don’t give a fuck and they don’t save data that can be used to trace an IP to a user.

You could also give SwissVPN a try.

The details are as follows:

Homepage: http://www.swissvpn.net/

Run by: Monzoon Networks AG, Switzerland

Price: 5 US$ per month (prepaid, you can select the nr. of months to buy, from 1 month to 12 months)

IP: Swiss IP from the pool 80.254.64.0/20 (80.254.64.0 – 80.254.79.255) (dynamically assigned, static IP is possible for the double price)

Supported protocols: Two different, PPTP and OpenVPN.
PPTP: 128-bit MPPE encryption, authentication protocol MS-CHAPv2.
OpenVPN: SSL/TLS secured channel for authentication and key exchange; encryption algorithm: Blowfish.

Speed: Seems to be a bit slower that surfing directly, but depends much on what you do online. Sometimes, there is no difference in speed at all, sometimes, downloads can take as much as four times as long as when surfing directly. But my internet connection is quite fast (Downstream: 43356 kBit/s / Upstream: 8504 kBit/s), so if yours is slower, possibly you will notice no difference.

Payment: Visa/MasterCard/PayPal

Reliability: Seems to be very reliable, so far I never noticed major outages at all, only the speed that you can get may vary depending on how busy the downstream and upstream connections of their data center are. But it seems to work 24/7 without interruptions (online radio plays without skipping for hours).

My rating: please give it a try, really worth it.
