    Safe for streaming

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 16 2024
    Summary

    The overall experience was easy and painless. After having problems streaming on a fire stick I have not had any issues since using Windscribe.

    Positive

    It was easy to sign up and get using Windscribe. It took less than 10 minutes to download to a fire stick and start using. Easy to follow instructions and plenty of data available make it an easy to use VPN service.

    Negative

    Nothing bad to report yet. The only negative may be the limited data available without upgrading to the pro service.

    Good

    5 out of 5 stars Updated: Dec 11 2024
    Summary

    The experience is positive, in fact this is my first day and it will be good for me, it will help me a lot, since internet plans here in Angola are very expensive.

    Positive

    I actually liked that You deliver what you promise. I actually received +10 gigabytes, I'm from Angola too and I intend to share this with my friends so they can have this experience.

    Negative

    I just didn't like the fact that I had to go through several processes to acquire another +5GB, but I understand the need for it.

    Good quality VPN service for samsung smartphone users

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 30 2024
    Summary

    Great so far, I'm pretty new to using a VPN. They make it very easy to understand what each option/toggle does. But I'd perhaps like the option for even more information and explanations. For example what exactly the Kev2 protocol (an't remember off the top of my head) is an what it actually is doing

    Positive

    Loads of customisable tools with great walk-through videos for newbies and beginners which make you understand pretty much everything you need to know

    Negative

    Maybe even more detail as to what each thing means

    Quite Impressed!

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Nov 12 2024
    Summary

    Overall, Windscribe is one of the best VPNs I've used so far. I love that I can use it for free and still get basic privacy protection and ad blocking. The free version is perfect for anyone who wants privacy for web browsing. The best feature, in my opinion, is the cross-platform availability. I can use it on my phones, computers and TVs. The speed does slow down during peak times but it's not nearly as slow as other VPNs I've used. This is definitely a product worth trying!

    Positive

    * Free and Paid Options
    * Customize How You Want
    * Available on Multiple Platforms
    * No Data Logging at All!
    * Servers From All Over the World

    Negative

    * Free Version has a Data Cap
    * Static IP Locations are only available in certain locations
    * Email Verification required to access full data plans
    * Most Customizable Content is restricted to paid versions
    * Speeds fluctuate and can decrease during peak times.

    Best truly free VPN there is.

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Nov 04 2024
    Summary

    Best free VPN out there. Easy to use. Lots of options and a decent speed. If you can work around the monthly Gb limit there is no substitute. Excellent product.

    Positive

    Easy to use with lots of features for the hardcore technician. This is the best free VPN on the market if you don't use more bandwidth than 10+ Gb per month. Decent speed as well.

    Negative

    Could be a bit cheaper if you go for premium. Otherwise there is no complaints.

    Windscribe thoughts

    5 out of 5 stars Updated: Oct 31 2024
    Summary

    Windscribe is a great app made by awesome people. I wish more people would invest in this kind of app instead of other scummy, predatory ones.

    Positive

    I have used Windscribe for a few days now and it has helped me tremendously with blocking certain sites and being able to access other sites blocked by country. It also helped me reduce my ping while gaming, which isn't something I knew it could do.

    Negative

    There wasn't particularly anything I disliked about Windscribe.
