KS KOSTIANTYN S. Creative Copywriter Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/14/2025 "VPN client for customers' needs" 4/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? Regular surfing is when two or more people use the same computer, so sites with restricted access can also be accessed. Windscribe helps with the annoyance of seeing a blocking page. The user selects an additional IP from the list and connects to it to reduce delays. There are hundreds of locations in more than 70 countries to change an IP, and newbies click the one that they trust and connect to. It is a way to connect faster than a minute. Those who are familiar with IP protocols go to the adjustments on the left panel to switch between protocols and to choose tunnelization. An algorithm called R.O.B.E.R.T. recognizes sites with extra ads, gambling, porn, and others, e.g., parents don't want their children to watch. So, Windscribe performs a double function when blocking and accessing everyday sites when it integrates with Windows. A free account gives 10 GB of access to 20 locations to connect with. If you want more, there are paid plans for $9 per month, or $5.75 per year, which saves 40%. All the questions about access and payment are on the support page and also in X, Reddit, and Discord communities, as well as the latest news. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? The number of locations in the free version is restricted, but every so often, delays happen. So, there is no other way than to buy a paid version to widen the coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you? Windscribe unblocks sites and bypass restrictions when they get in the way. It helps when the information from everywhere is required, so there is no time to wait for unblocking.

It has a great selection of servers to connect to and actually works. The pricing model is also great for larger teams and the admin can easily manage user accounts on the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? The support can be tighter. It takes them quite a while to get back to us when we need support (a user doesn't work, there are downtimes, etc.). There should be online support as a business depends on connections in this remote work age. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you? It helps us unify our company location in a remote setting.

SB Steffen B. System Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/20/2020 "An impeccable and clean service to keep your ip safe." 3.5/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? Windscribe is a service that allows us to improve the stability of our original ip by giving us an encryption thus providing protection to the traces while browsing the web we are using and leaving behind unsafe pages. Another relevant point is that it has a free test system that allows you to use its services to a certain limit, but in order to know its servers and speed, the system is easy and useful to handle just start and ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? The service allows you to connect to several different servers although it works well, it has some problems such as the USA servers which in circumstances are slow or the connection is lost it is necessary to manage that problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Windscribe: It is a different software from others because the encryption process is different because the program is not in the way and is easy to use and that is the reason we recommend it because it works very well. The software is economical and accessible which adds favorable features to the system, it is also possible to speak with support in case you have doubts about the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you? We have problems within the organization due to certain inconveniences when browsing because the majority of pages the browser marked them as insecure so it was necessary to find a solution and not just Windscribe antivirus I help with that problem and maintained that protection by offering greater Safety when sailing.

System Administrator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/2/2020 "Good service to hide the original ip/" 4/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? Windscribe is a service that allows us to change or encrypt our original ip with your application either from the desktop or direct extension of the browser, it is a system that allows us to navigate in a safer way thus avoiding any type of tracking or insecure pages, in Important circumstances such as sending files by mail are also active and prevent loss of information by IP tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? Fundamental point that I do not like your trial version is not complete at all, it allows us to use some countries as proof but because all users receive the same they are collapsed so that the services may fail and cause little interest in use the service, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Windscribe: Windscribe protection and encrypt our ip works successfully and their countries are wide to choose what offers us freedom and stable connections in some cases can be faster than the original speed. For that reason I recommend it because it is simple, fast and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you? Because we are looking for a much safer and freer browsing solution we find the direct solution, Windscribe that offered us 2 applications, one web and one installable to always keep the encrypted ip or when necessary to solve tracking problems, it offers different countries giving this way choice when encrypting the IP, very happy with the solutions and software so easy to start without previous knowledge.

Soporte Técnico Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/27/2019 "Windscribe has many addresses in various locations" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? Windscribe is an excellent tool to navigate incognito, because it does not save navigation data. The user interface is simplistic and available for different devices. I also like that it can be configured to start with the operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? Some of your IP addresses that are in your locations are detected and blocked for some websites or applications. Also at some times, the software freezes without explanation and closes, but it has happened to me a few times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MC Mauricio C. Arquitecto de soluciones Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/26/2019 "Windscribe encrypts your network's Internet traffic" 4/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? Windscribe has a GUI that guarantees that a user without computer skills can connect to the VPN and that is what I like most about this software. Another fundamental feature is its connection speeds, which are very fast, which you will not even notice that you are browsing through a VPN. I also highlight its IKEv2 connection protocol, which is one of the most reliable today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? Although Windscribe has many locations in the world, it lacks a variety of servers per country, so if you use the VPN for the same purpose as another user, they may be connected to the same country, which will lead to inconveniences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Windscribe: This software has fundamental security features that make it a truly reliable application. This VPN has unlimited broadband, which guarantees that your Internet activities are not interrupted. I recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you? I can integrate Windscribe with technical support applications and provide help to potential clients, since it is not safe to connect to a remote computer with the company's network, which would be exposed to theft by hackers.

Inmplementador de Redes Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/18/2019 "Windscribe is a minimalist, reliable and cheap software" 4/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? Windscribe has a minimalist interface design, putting only necessary options at your disposal. I like that I have a whole window focused on the Internet connection where I can highlight their security protocols that help me the most, such as Stealth or IKEv2, in addition to configuring an API resolution to access without going through DNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? Sometimes, the program can enter LAN traffic, because this option is automatically disabled when you log out of the program and start again. It is an inconvenience and sometimes I am not attentive to if the configurations were not restored and I can put my security at risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Windscribe: Revising Windscribe I can say that it is a valid VPN for both professionals and novices. I love its ease of use, fast servers and good security filters. I recommend it, especially if you want to configure your encryption rules yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SEO/SEM Search engine specialist Telecommunications Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/18/2019 "VPN service with strong encryption." 4/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? The tool to change the time zone and its 256-bit encryption is quite good and helps us avoid censorship of content and detection of our vpn. The ad blocker works on almost every page and, therefore, we get rid of spam. It has many connections and servers around the world and works very well hiding our original IP address and location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? From time to time, the servers fall down and we can not use the vpn for several hours, it takes a day to get in touch with the support service. On certain occasions, the navigation speed is affected a bit, since, although we choose Windscribe's recommendation, the Internet generally loses speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web Designer Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/16/2019 "Fastest VPN i ever use" 4/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? After having used different VPN applications I can say that Windscribe is one of the fastest in terms of the connection with the chosen server, almost all VPNs do this in about 3-5 seconds with this application is almost half, for what speed is one of your positive points. I also liked the interface, visually attractive, with blue tones and good typography. The interface is also simple only shows relevant and necessary information such as the servers that can be chosen to connect, the IP obtained from the server and a disconnect button. Although it has fewer servers available than other VPNs, they all work very well and are fast for navigation, this I liked especially because having used other VPNs you find that although they have many servers you realize that after connecting the server is slow or even it works, in Windscribe there is less quantity but more quality in the servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? The biggest mistake I've found has been not having a search box to filter countries or servers as searching through the list is a bit annoying when the application is showing all the servers in a country with a large number of servers as USA. I think that implementing this would be easy and very useful for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Windscribe: If you are looking for a VPN with a decent number of servers and that are available without problems most of the time you should try Windscribe. In addition, the servers are very fast and the license costs are low compared to other applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you? I use this application in my work to perform tests simulating different locations and I also have another own license in my personal computer, where I use Windscribe to navigate anonymously. The benefits of using this VPN is that it is cheaper than the one used before and also much faster when establishing connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HS Henry S. Support Specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/25/2019 "Great VPN at a very low price" 4/5 What do you like best about Windscribe? I have been using Windscribe for the last two years and has fulfilled satisfactorily whenever I needed to use it. The best of the application from my point of view is the simplicity offered by its interface, unlike other VPN applications, Windscribe is very well organized and has a nice graphical interface. Technically it is a stable application that fulfills its objective and offers us different locations and servers in any continent. It also has different options to configure the application to our liking, especially the option of Kill switch that is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Windscribe? The only negative aspect is that certain locations have very few servers, important locations such as UK, Spain, Italy do not have many servers available to choose from. And to add something more, you could add the possibility of filtering or searching countries through a search box, sometimes I need to look for a specific country and I lose a lot of time trying to find it in the list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Windscribe: I recommend using this VPN (Windscribe) if you want to change your IP address or location to connect to any site in an entirely anonymous way. In addition its price is very low and offers a very decent number of servers, although not many. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you? Thanks to this VPN we can simulate different locations to check how our applications work. We also use it to be able to connect to certain applications that limit us the connection to certain specific locations for some countries, especially the USA.
