This is process has concluded. An update is required if you connected to our Luxembourg gateway via custom configuration. You can start with generating new config files in the My Account area, or gather necessary IP information from our server status page. https://www.ivpn.net/en/status/

@nprofile1q... thanks for the feedback. we've got to know the founders well in the past months and would have no reservations using Portmaster or SPN now. Regarding router use, we add it to our list to evaluate.

IVPN acquires Safing, operator of Portmaster and the SPN network - details on our blog: https://www.ivpn.net/blog/ivpn-acquires-safing-portmaster-spn-network/

As part of ongoing infrastructure optimization efforts, we will be migrating the Luxembourg gateway (lu1.gw.ivpn.net / lu1.wg.ivpn.net) to a new provider between 4 Dec and 7 Dec. During this period, we advise to make use of alternative gateways in other locations.
