    5 out of 5 stars 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.

    Positive

    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.

    Windscribe's 15GB Plan that I don't think I really need but I have time to kill so I'm writing this review, lol

    5 out of 5 stars Date: May 04 2025
    Summary

    I like Windscribe. Unlike any other providers, they're outstanding. Maybe widen the list of free countries and I would consider paying (I won't [I'm broke]).

    Thanks anyways, Windscribe.

    Sincerely, a bored person.

    Positive

    I like Windscribe. I would consider marrying him/her/them/ba/dum/tss.

    Negative

    We can't be seriously talking about what I didn't like. Of course, my ex leaving me. </3

    10/10 would recommend. Again the Free P2P Sharing is what separates Windscribe from the rest of the VpNs on the market

    ONe of the best VPNs i know about! P2P is sublime. Ive used a few VPNs like Proton VPN and Tunnel Bear and neither allow P2P like Windscribe

    Negative

    None really. Im not the best at using VPNs and networking but im still learning. the Free P2p seems the best for me
