Not worth pull request so submitted as an Issue. Am a cat, what do you expect?
Description
Linux is an OS wherein various organizations and their staff implement "Security Hardening" guidelines e.g. DISA STIGs. Applying restrictive umasks (a form of file permission control) is a part of this.
When such permissions are set, or exist by default, and the ivpn-archive-keyring.gpg is moved to /usr/share/keyrings the result is a "NO_PUBKEY D437F3E150DB096C" error. Multiple such reports, with scarce mentions of fixes exist when googled.
The above may dissuade customers from continuing use of IVPN, as the product will be perceived as sub-par, lacking attention to detail. Luckily, the fix is high-reward, and low-effort.
FIX
Append the following changes to the Ubuntu, Mint and Debian Install instructions in ivpn.net/src/content/pages/apps-linux.md under the headers referenced below.

FIX
Append the following changes to the Ubuntu, Mint and Debian Install instructions in ivpn.net/src/content/pages/apps-linux.md under the headers referenced below.
Add IVPN's GPG key
Set Appropriate Permissions for GPG key
sudo chown root:root /usr/share/keyrings/ivpn-archive-keyring.gpg && sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/ivpn-archive-keyring.gpg
Add the IVPN repository
Set Appropriate Permissions for Repository
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ivpn.list && sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ivpn.list
TL:DR FIX
Ubuntu, Mint, Debian Install Instructions in ivpn.net/src/content/pages/apps-linux.md should look like this (view raw) :
{{< highlight shell >}}
Add IVPN's GPG key
curl -fsSL url-for-gpg-key.gpg | gpg --dearmor > ~/ivpn-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo mv ~/ivpn-archive-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/ivpn-archive-keyring.gpg
Set Appropriate Permissions for GPG key
sudo chown root:root /usr/share/keyrings/ivpn-archive-keyring.gpg && sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/ivpn-archive-keyring.gpg
Add the IVPN repository
curl -fsSL url-for-repo.placeholder | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ivpn.list
Set Appropriate Permissions for Repository
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ivpn.list && sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ivpn.list
Update APT repo info
sudo apt-get update
To install IVPN software (CLI and UI)
sudo apt-get install ivpn-ui
To install only IVPN CLI
sudo apt-get install ivpn
