    Best VPN

    Date: Nov 08 2025
    Summary

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

    Positive

    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

    Date: Feb 26 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.

    Excellent

    Date: Apr 26 2025
    Summary

    The free plan offers 10GB of data per month which is generous compared to other free VPN. You can also earn more data by performing actions like tweeting about the service

    Positive

    Windscribe offers solid encryption and no-logs policy which is key for anyone concerned about online privacy. they also support features like kill switch which cuts your internet if the VPN connection drops ensuring your data isn't exposed

    Negative

    Although the free version offer 10gb of data pre month it, is not enough for me a heavy user. Plus I have access to fewer server locations compared to premium

    Summary

    Glad to be a user, don't regret using. Love the notifications I get and I'm glad to get 5 free gbs for leaving a review.

    Nothing really, I can't think of any issues. Maybe the pricing? But a company has to get its bag.

    An indispensable companion for everyday surfing

    Date: May 12 2025
    Summary

    I have been using Windscribe for almost 10 years and have never had a problem with it. The application runs reliably and stably in the background under Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. There is no noticeable impact on performance - on the contrary, downloads with Windscribe enabled run more smoothly and stably. Switching between servers is quick and easy. In short, a tool that everyone should use.

    Positive

    Clear strengths are stability and flexibility.
    Operation is simple and self-explanatory.
    There are a large number of server options.

    Negative

    Occasionally there is a false alarm when blocking pages.
    The AdCrusher can hinder the proper execution of pages that work with forms and pop-ups.
