VPN protocol
IKEv2 VPN server
A fast, stable protocol on your personal MeduzaVPN server — instant reconnection when you switch networks and built-in support on Windows, macOS and iOS. On Android and Linux it connects through a third-party IPsec client such as strongSwan.
What is IKEv2
IKEv2/IPsec is a fast, stable and secure VPN protocol with modern, strong encryption. It's especially good on mobile: thanks to MOBIKE the connection reconnects almost instantly when you switch between Wi-Fi and cellular.
At MeduzaVPN, IKEv2 runs on your personal VPS in the location you choose: on the PERSONAL plan, your traffic goes through your own server and your own IP, not a shared address. The protocol is built into Windows, macOS and iOS, so no extra app is needed there. Android and Linux have no built-in client — you need a third-party one such as strongSwan or NetworkManager-strongswan.

«Fair price, no issues with speed, plenty of servers for any task. One minor wish — I'd love more detailed connection and traffic stats in the app. It would also be nice to get push notifications when the connection drops. Doesn't affect the core functionality, overall happy and not planning to switch.»

«Took it on trial after a bad experience with another service. Everything works the way it should: stable connection, decent speed even in the evening, and payment went through without any hassle. I used to be skeptical about services like this, but now I recommend it to friends without hesitation. I'll be staying for the long run.»

«Got connected in a couple of minutes, no complex setup. Stable both at home and while traveling, speed is consistently high across every device.»

«Got it for my mom — she's always worried about scammers. The service has its own app, so there was nothing to configure manually: installed it, signed in, and it just works.»
IKEv2 questions
How is IKEv2 different from WireGuard?
IKEv2/IPsec is built into Windows, macOS and iOS and needs no separate app there, and MOBIKE keeps the connection alive when you switch networks. WireGuard is leaner and faster and is connected by the MeduzaVPN app itself on every platform, including Android and Linux, where IKEv2 has no built-in client. MeduzaVPN offers both — you can switch.
Does MeduzaVPN store my traffic with IKEv2?
No. We don't store the content of your traffic, and each protocol runs in an isolated container. IKEv2 runs on your own personal VPS.
Which devices support IKEv2?
IKEv2 is built into Windows, macOS and iOS — no separate app is required there; you just add a VPN connection in your device settings with the server address and sign-in credentials from your account. Android, Linux and routers have no built-in client: you need a third-party IPsec client such as strongSwan, NetworkManager-strongswan, or IPsec support in your router firmware.
How does IKEv2 perform on unstable networks?
IKEv2 is built for speed and stability and reconnects quickly when you switch networks. If the connection is still unstable, choose VLESS, Xray or Shadowsocks — you can run them on the same server.
Do I need a separate app for IKEv2?
On Windows, macOS and iOS, no: IKEv2/IPsec uses your device’s built-in VPN, and the server address and sign-in credentials from your account are enough. On Android and Linux you do need an app, but a third-party one such as strongSwan — the MeduzaVPN app has no IKEv2 engine there. If you would rather connect from one app on every device, pick MeduzaVPN, WireGuard or another protocol on the same server.
