"Reliability and good price is Windscribe"
4/5
What do you like best about Windscribe?

Windscribe is easy to install and use, it has many locations and you can easily connect to the server faster. It has an ad blocker that is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

Sometimes the service has failures that result in the disconnection of their servers and by not having a Kill-Switch the data is unprotected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yegor Sak of Windscribe

Windscribe has a "kill switch", it's called Firewall. There is a toggle for it in the main interface. If you get disconnected, there is zero chance of an IP leak, unlike with "kill switches", which are basically snake oil.

"Gone with the WINDscribe"
5/5
What do you like best about Windscribe?

Simple GUI that does not get in the way. It connects quickly. Has a built in firewall. The site gives you the most free amount per month I have ever seen. I believe it is at 12GB free now. And they give you an extra 1GB for each person that uses your link. The will even give you a full month of whatever plan someone that uses your link purchases. On top of that they have an affiliate program that will pay per user as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

"An extra layer of security on the internet"
5/5
What do you like best about Windscribe?

Windscribe is my favorite VPN, as even the free version allows quite comprehensive use by the user. In its free version, it allows you to choose between servers located in 10 countries (including the USA, Canada, Great Britain, France, or Germany) and you have 10 GB to browse the internet. In its pro version, if you choose the biannual payment plan, it costs $3.70 per month (a little over 3 euros per month), offering unlimited traffic for browsing and servers in more than 100 cities. It's a very reasonable price, and very competitive if we look at what other companies offer.

A VPN, for those who don't know, is a virtual private network that allows you to browse the internet anonymously, as you connect to a server (which can be in the country you choose) and from there you would connect to the content you want, so your real IP cannot be known (since externally your IP will be that of the server) and no one can track your history. Its use is extremely simple: once you download the application, every time you want to browse anonymously, you just have to open it and click on the power button. When you are connected to a server, the application will tell you with a brief message. You can also turn on the firewall by clicking on the switch at the bottom of the Windscribe window.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

The truth is, I wouldn't know how to improve Windscribe's service, so far it hasn't given me any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's a great vpn service"
4/5
What do you like best about Windscribe?

The speeds of all the ips are pretty incredible, and I have never had issues with being able to my work intranet using this at home either. It is very easy to set the account up. I also like that it blocks out different ads and other malware and phishers online. It keeps the system pretty dang secure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

I don't like that the premium versions are so expensive for personal usage. Majority of the networks can only be accessed through the premium version. Although the performance is pretty much excellent, the server is a little bit small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great VPN service"
4/5
What do you like best about Windscribe?

What I love the most about windscribe is that even after connecting to a different network, the speed is almost the same while changing the VPN. It is a great tool to protect privacy online and block ads. I also love the netflix extension for it, as its ad and tracker blocking features work well on it.

It provides a good 10 GB of data to be used, if you provide your email address, and that can last a really long time to keep you safe from phishers and trackers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

I particularly hate that there are so few networks available for the free users, and those are pretty much very common ones. To connect to a few more, the charge is a whooping $49, which is a really high price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the Better VPNs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Windscribe?

I downloaded this program about 4 months ago, as a recommendation i saw on another site. they recommended it for a VPN for downloading online. The program itself was easy to install and as far as i have on my laptop at home, it is simple to use. I loads with startup, and does not slow the computer. Once loaded it gives you the option to turn on or not. Most programs just go on.. (perk1) you can also select right there in your face the country for the VPN, most programs you have to go deep within the settings to choose (perk 2). The version i have gives me a bandwidth per month, for as long as i have had it i never go over.. (perk 3) and it resets at the end of the month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

So far, nothing i dislike about it. works, does what it was meant to do and is extremely easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent VPN that has good free trial and speeds"
4/5
What do you like best about Windscribe?

Dedicated apps for mac and iPhone so access and connecting is easy and fast. There's several servers you can chose from ranging from 3 in the USA to ones in other countries. The connecting process is fast and intuitive as well as a very good firewall feature that blocks all internet connection when the VPN is off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

The UI is sometimes difficult to use/laggy. I know that the mac application is not very intuitive if you use multiple desktops. The iPhone app is sometimes a little laggy, but overall not many issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Service for the user with a constrained budget and a need for a VPN"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Windscribe?

Significantly cheaper than most VPN's on the market, many free options available, easy to setup and install in a timely manner, the website was easy to navigate and find the information I wanted, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

Sometimes slower than your normal network speeds, macOS application UI not very user friendly, in order to add more bandwidth you need to sign up for the Windscribe emails (This is the main reason why I stopped using the product), Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
