You may notice slower speeds and difficulties downloading rare stuff. Generally, you'll probably be OK if you're looking for well-seeded files.
See here for a bit better explanation.
From what I've gathered certain really illegal content was being created and uploaded; and paid for using crypto. It really is a harsh shame to people who have obscure files or services and have been using the service for more than 5 years. I think they should reevaluate their policy and allow registered non-crypto accounts to have access to it after a certain period of time. Simply removing the feature is unacceptable; I put my trust in IVPN after much research. I'm concerned about how the other providers will handle the windfall of new users signing up for the feature and if they will keep it active.
