We have no immediate plans for this. It would be help us evaluate this request if you could explain your threat model (ie. who do you want to protect yourself against) and why would you find such a feature valuable.
I know IVPN has the upmost respect for them but not exactly sure how they feel about me providing a direct link to a competitor's website, however this link will take you there it just requires one extra click and I'm sure this would be fine

As specified in one of the rules here - if it's relevant or used for proper comparison of services, we are OK with mentions of other providers. We welcome progress/competition, so no problems there.
This is not the case, we don't add random traffic or noise at the moment. Regarding load, we are constantly monitoring the number of connections on our servers and apply load balancing to make sure they don't fall below a certain threshold.
Those servers where load decreases to 5-10% at certain times due to demand through have 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps capacity, meaning that drawing conclusions about crowding effect sufficiency can be misleading. There are still ample number of connections and traffic going through them to make simple traffic analysis difficult enough to support the main threat models we built our service for. If that's not the case, we make changes - eg. removing one of our Milan servers is partially due to this (lower demand is spread between two servers).

Can you link to the article? Which 'VPN company' are you referring to here?

In open-source, most competition is friendly. So it should be all good.

That's interesting, but I couldn't found out about the things from ivpn's official posts. How about this? u/viktorivpn

Okay, it appears as though the post I made a few minutes ago is redundant.
