<p>IVPN has undergone a <a href="https://cure53.de/audit-report_ivpn.pdf">no-logging audit from Cure53</a> which concluded in agreement with IVPN's no-logging claim. However, IVPN has not undergone a more comprehensive security audit by an independent third party, and therefore cannot be strongly recommended at this time. We have still chosen to list it on this page with the assumption that an audit will be published soon: The IVPN team <a href="https://twitter.com/yaelwrites/status/1161796418220089344">reportedly plans to begin the process in September</a>.</p>
