    Gain some freedom back

    Date: Sep 04 2025
    Summary

    Free!!!. Very rarely can you get anything genuinely for free that works & actually does what it claims. I can shop happily from another country without it being blocked & I can stream online without being blocked too. Finally feel like I have some control back over how I spend my free time without being told ( albeit virtually ) No.

    Positive

    Free version gives plenty of 'space' to stream & download monthly. No restrictions. Apps & tv can be enjoyed again after so many 'big players' have limited what we can & cannot view without wanting to know the inside of a ducks butt!

    Negative

    Sometimes tricky to log into my account on the android app.

    Honest Review from a free user.

    Date: Jun 30 2025
    Summary

    I have been an avid user since 2019 when anyone asks for a recommendation I always suggest Windscribe.

    Positive

    Easy to use software. You can easily pick from one of the available locations (even outside the country) then toggle to use.

    Negative

    As a free user I have no real complaints regarding the service. However the 10gb free allotment seems like a good amount but does deplete quickly with regular use.

    The free vpn

    Date: Oct 08 2025
    Summary

    Surfing across the web had never been much lovely and secure as the way Windescribe making it!
    Easy-peasy smart freedom online, a strong yet smooth secure browsing.

    Positive

    I think where the internet draws borders, Windscribe VPN eases (securely) crossing beyond them.
    Stream, browse, and explore any corner of the web.
    No limits, no location walls.
    The user can stay private, block ads, and move freely.

    Negative

    All the features are good and practical, starting from free plan level the features are fairly helpful for most users to navigate between a bunch of proxies.

    Summary

    It’s wonderful and easy to use in any device be it Android, iOS, Mac or even Chrome extension is available

    Positive

    Been using Windscribe for a while now and honestly it’s solid. Speeds are good, rarely any drops, and the free plan is actually usable which is rare. Not overloaded with ads or upsells either. Just does what it says. Would recommend if you’re looking for something simple and reliable

    Negative

    Nothing as of now, it’s good easy to use as well only thing is it’s less data (maybe)

    Best VPN

    Date: Apr 24 2025
    Summary

    My experience was great. Very easy to sign up, great user interface on my mobile device. I like the fact that the free version is available to test out before you buy the upgraded plan

    Positive

    If you’ve been looking for a VPN but are having trouble finding one that checks all the boxes, Windscribe VPN checks every box. Gaming, streaming, awesome free version, split tunneling, it’s better than all the other VPNs in every category.

    Negative

    I didn’t like that the privacy wasn’t independently audited but based on other reviews I’ve seen there has been no real concern about privacy.

    REVIEW

    Date: Jul 22 2025
    Summary

    I've been using Windscribe for a while now and I can confidently say it delivers what it promises. It's reliable, secure, and easy to use. Whether you're streaming, browsing, or trying to access geo-restricted content, it performs very well. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a free or affordable VPN solution.

    Positive

    Windscribe offers a user-friendly interface, stable connection speeds, and generous free data for new users. It also supports multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, and mobile. Their security and privacy features are solid, including a no-log policy and customizable firewall options.

    Negative

    it was nice and I fully recommend.The free version has limited server access and monthly data. However, this is understandable and still very generous compared to other VPN services.

    Amazing VPN provider!!

    Date: Jun 18 2025
    Summary

    If you are looking for as I believe one of the most safest vpn providers then Windscribe has to be it! Don't always trust reviews just go for it with them!

    Positive

    I was dubious at the start because I have never used a vpn service before but all the reviews online led me to them. The pricing starts at free but is so small to pay a small amount extra for further locations. It works on my phone as well and I couldn’t be happier! Their website is very easy to navigate and always lots of offers! Go for it!

    Negative

    I sat and thought about this and really cant think of anything and that’s honest!

    Windscribe VPN Review: Secure, Speedy & Surprisingly Generous (Even for Free Users!

    Date: Apr 16 2025
    Summary

    Windscribe is an excellent VPN for both casual users and privacy enthusiasts. The free plan is one of the best available, and the paid version offers even more features at a competitive price. While it may not be the absolute fastest VPN out there, its strong security, streaming capabilities, and extra tools (like R.O.B.E.R.T.) make it a top choice.

    Positive

    Strong Security & Privacy – Uses AES-256 encryption, a strict no-logs policy, and a built-in firewall (Kill Switch).

    Negative

    Limited Server Locations on Free Plan – Paid users get more options.

    Windscribe the best

    Date: Apr 25 2025
    Summary

    Windscribe is good I’ll give an 80% because of the slowing down of the mobile data which makes it so boring at times.

    Positive

    The reason why I call it the best is because even the free version works very accurate as compared to other VPN and it’s free data is so encouraging, though it makes mobile network slow but I prefer it than other VPNs.

    Negative

    It slows Mobile data which make it difficult for me to use other functions or apps on my phone.
