    Awesome

    Date: Jun 15 2025
    Summary

    Amazing. Awesome. Awe inspiring. My next child will be named Windscribe. Joking, but now that I see it, maybe.

    Positive

    So far Windscribe has been amazing. Technically and other VPN related services are amazing. No issues. No tricks. But what I love another Windscribe is they seem to have fun. Customer service that knows how to joke? That's not something I've seen in a very long time. It's nice to feel like they're not just going through the motions. In a world of technology, the people still make the difference. Thank God.

    Negative

    Nothing. Not at all anything. Nuffin. Nada. Zip. Zilch

    Summary

    Overall I love Windscribe - just wish they would add data time or lengthen the time their super deals are available (as a non frequent user, I always miss the deal windows)

    Windscribe

    Date: Mar 08 2025
    Summary

    My overall experience has been positive and I highly recommend this software to any person looking to protect themselves online.

    Positive

    The usability of this VPN is top notch. Nice interface and easy to use. I feel that I can teach even the most non-technical users on how to use this software.

    Negative

    Nothing that I've seen thus far. Of course, I'd prefer that this VPN had more GB included in the free tier; however I understand why they do not.

    Date: Jun 01 2025
    Summary

    It's one of the first, if not the only first alternatives I would choose without thinking in VPN's for a full privacy experience.

    Great availability;
    So many regions on free plan;
    Most recommended for torrent privacy;
    Does not keep activity logs;
    Multiplatform;

    Negative

    No port forwarding on free plan, that may compromise download speed.
