Windscribe is a company that develops tools that help users circumvent censorship and attain access to geographically-restricted content. The service offers a full VPN client that protects a user’s online activity and browsing history.

Features and Services

Windscribe offers a VPN service that protects both browser and desktop. Its security features safeguard a user’s activity online, while its browser extension blocks ads, trackers, and beacons which endanger a user’s online privacy. The desktop client on the other hand creates a VPN tunnel with its own firewall.

The VPN software has a firewall that prevents a user’s IP address from being exposed. Users can generate a secure link which they can manage right through their browser.

Windscribe also lets users have complete and restriction-free access to the content they desire. It also helps individuals share files securely by sending them through their encrypted tunnel. Users are ensured that there will be no traces left behind because Windscribe’s desktop app and browser extension work together to reduce surveillance.

The software’s privacy options include the split personality, anti-social, ad blocker, and untraceable features. It eliminates all social trackers that report a user’s activity to their companies. It also rotates a browser’s user agent that assists in preventing browser fingerprinting.

Pro user here who just upgraded. So far, i'm pleased I made the upgrade and have found it very useful having all the extra servers to connect too. Windscribe is a bit on the pricey side, but I believe you get what you pay for and in this case, I think it's worth paying that little extra.

Very useful VPN to have. Windscribe has been absolutely great and has successfully provided me with my needs and everything I look for in a VPN. It has great speeds and the security systems they have in place are great! I've been a pro member for almost a year now and I can wholeheartedly say it an investment you don't want to miss out on.

Windscribe has been great. I've found it to be a very useful VPN that succeeds in meeting your expectation as per their advertisement. Their website is very informative and I was easily able to understand how each service they offered functioned. Price wise, Windscribe is not as cheap as many others, but for what you get, the quality, the maintenance, and the support, it seems to be priced fair.

Such a cool selection of security features, especially the kill switch. Windscribe has definitely leveled up the game when it comes to VPN's. I'd like to see another server try and outdo them as how they currently are, they're completely rocking the VPN and security game.

Great description! Without a doubt one of the best current VPN! Uses cutting-edge encryption OpenVPN with PFS and IKEv2 support for mobile devices. Sensational! I am a paying user and really recommend to test the Windscribe.

I came across Windscribe by reading a couple articles on sites like Lifehacker and CNET, took the plunge because of some promotional pricing through StackSocial and paid $45 (10% off email coupon for first signup users) for a Lifetime Pro subscription via PayPal, and am pleasantly surprised. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but installation on my laptop was very straightforward, the guide for setting up Android devices was easy, and the optimal setup only required minor adjustments within the software menu. Email support was incredibly fast and came from the top, which made me feel very comfortable using this fast VPN service. Combining it with browser coverage, ad blocking, and... Read More

Awesome VPN provider. The speeds are great, lots of free locations available, and the windows application looks great! I've used 5 other VPN providers before, and this one blows them out of the water. Its a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
