The answer to "what should I use instead of ibVPN" depends entirely on why you are leaving. Price, a commitment, a country, a support experience and a blocked target all point at different replacements.
Read this first if you want a VPN
We should be straight before you spend time here. ibVPN is a VPN and HProxy is a proxy network, and they solve different problems even though both change the address a site sees.
A VPN takes all of your device's traffic, encrypts it and pushes it down one tunnel. A proxy takes the traffic you point at it, one app or one request at a time, and sends it from an address you picked, with no encryption of its own.
The reason a proxy company has a page about a VPN is that a real share of people leaving one are leaving because they were trying to do something a VPN was never built for: run many requests, hold a session on one address, or appear in a specific city. If that is you, this page helps. If it is not, buy another VPN.
What we know about ibVPN, and what we do not
ibVPN trades at ibvpn.com.
We have no verified current rate for ibVPN on file. Printing a guess would make this page worse than useless, so the price row below is empty and the reading list is not.
Check the reachable rate, the minimum, the expiry terms and the failure billing, and date your note. A price without those four attached is not a price.
ibVPN in its own words
The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "StrongVPN Welcomes ibVPN, StrongVPN". Their own summary of the product runs: "We’re excited to introduce you to StrongVPN, your new tool for secure, unrestricted Internet."
What else that page states, without interpretation:
They advertise 30 countries or locations. Support is advertised as around the clock. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "StrongVPN Plans, StrongVPN".
None of that is verified performance. It is what the vendor chose to publish, recorded with a date so you can see whether it still says the same thing.
How far back the record goes
The domain was registered on 23 November 2009, through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc, which makes it about 16 years old. Checked against the registry on 9 September 2026. The registration currently runs to 23 November 2026.
None of it predicts success rate. It is here because domain age and archive depth are free to check, and a provider whose public record starts last quarter deserves a smaller first order.
What buyers type into Google about them
Worldwide, the brand carries about 10 searches a month: 10 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
The largest share is people checking whether to trust it, which is the honest starting point for a page like this one.
What you still do not know after reading their site
Shared or dedicated changes everything
An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.
Who pays for the requests that fail
On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.
The limit that stops the job
Rate limits are often enforced per account rather than per plan, which means buying more traffic does not raise them. Confirm how yours scales before you assume a bigger plan runs faster.
The two of us, on the questions that matter
Here are the comparisons that survive contact with a real workload:
| Question to ask | ibVPN | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Their terms page answers this | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | None |
| Identity checks | Read their current terms | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Read their current terms | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Where a cell points you at their terms, that is because the answer moves and a stale quotation would be worse than none. The missing row, in every table of this kind, is the one only your own measurement can fill.
What to do instead of reading more comparisons
The steps below take about ten minutes and settle the question properly.
- Fund both accounts with the least money each will accept, and note what that minimum was, because it is part of the comparison.
- Aim both at the page that matters to you rather than a test endpoint, and keep every other variable fixed.
- Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
- Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
- Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.
The rest of the shortlist
Buyers comparing this name usually have two or three of these open in other tabs:
- Jinglingip (精灵代理) alternatives
- Jshop Biz alternatives
- Juliangip (巨量代理) alternatives
- Justproxy alternatives
- Kameleo alternatives
- Keyword Tools alternatives
And to close where this started: a proxy is not a VPN replacement for privacy work. If ibVPN was doing the right job for you and you only want it cheaper, this comparison is the wrong page.
Where we fit
For completeness: residential from $0.44 per GB, city and ISP targeting included, no monthly minimum, and a balance that stays where you left it. We are a good fit for uneven workloads and a poor one for anybody who wants a signed enterprise agreement.
