Ratings and reviews

Considering the free version of the VPN, it's quite transparent and accountable. Quick and easy connections, you get 10gb per month. It's much better and more trustworthy than the other "free" vpns out there. Sometimes connecting can take long or there can be errors, but most of the time it's good. The laid version is also not crazy expensive.

It's not connecting well at all ever since the latest update. It tries, but then simply doesn't go. No message saying why. When I finally do get it to connect after several attempts, it still disconnects at random without a notification. I only noticed because I have connections without a VPN blocked, so my internet stops working. Hoping this gets fixed with the next update. Until then, I'll be forced to use a different VPN. My rating will go back up once this issue is fixed.

I've used over a dozen different VPNs over the years. Windscribe VPN has the locations I need, along with speed and stability that's good enough to make it my daily driver. It also has a great feature set that includes control of which apps will use the VPN and which bypass it. I like that I can configure a good mix of protocols and ports; also new options for configuring secure DNS and filters. It's a pretty tight system that does what I need while being stable enough to keep it on 24/7.
