Is Ivacy VPN a bad choice for a very low budget?

Hi

I wanted to ask the privacy community if the VPN provider "Ivacy" would be a bad choice for users looking for a cheap VPN.

I came across them by accident and saw that they offer a 5 year plan for only 70 dollars. I have never seen such a cheap plan and at the same time I am skeptical about the provider.

Although they say they don't store logs etc. I don't know if you can trust them. That's why I would like to hear the opinion of someone who knows well about private VPNs.

And I also know that there are much better private alternatives out there like Proton and more. However, looking only at the very low budget of someone, would this be a very poor choice when it comes to privacy?

@SUICIDEB0YS it's really a terrible choice, I didn't look further than this: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.ivacy/latest/
Note that Proton VPN has a free option.

Proton has a free option, but only for 3 country's or something. I would want a VPN with many country's and servers to choose from not just some.

I am afraid that is a limitation of not being able to pay for it.

I am able to pay for it. But I want the best for my money. Proton for example is too expensive compared to other VPNs…

ProtonVPN is free.

You get what you pay for 😄

At worse, do consider that you can also use the tor network as an alternative. This depend of your intended usage, but i could even be more useful than a VPN to protect your anonymity.

Tor is too slow. I am not looking for complete anonymity. Just for a good and cheap VPN.
