In the past they were slow at fixing problems when discovered, but they would always clearly be working hard on fixing things the right way rather than the quick way.
Not sure if that's still true, probably is still for locations but probably not the speeds, I never have issues with bandwidth using them. But even if you can't read the code, you should know that having an open source client is a hallmark of taking security seriously.Īs for downsides, I haven't used competitors in a few years but when I did the competition had a larger selection of locations and higher speeds sometimes. It's not like most people give a shit or can even understand the code, so it's obviously not a big selling point.
But things like providing a completely open source VPN client kinda helps with earning my trust. Anywhere you buy VPN service from you end up having to blindly trust to resist those pressures, unfortunately. It should be a given, but obviously these days there are a lot of behind the scenes pressures put on anything like this to give in for "good reasons" like law enforcement. And actually care, not only as an advertising gimmick. Good things about them - as a VPN they clearly take the goal of having a VPN, privacy, very seriously. Days like today I feel a bit guilty not contributing to support them, but I do recommend them to friends strongly. I bought a lifetime sub back when they were really small (small enough that a lifetime subscription was a risk) and that has paid for itself 100x. This is pretty typical behavior for these guys, and I think it should be rewarded.
#WINDSCRIBE ACCOUNT PRO#
Recommend you pay for Pro if you can afford it, it sounds from one of the reddit posts like they're taking a beating of a usage spike due to the Russian situation and they're still contacting people directly on there to get them setup with free service if they need it. One example review (obviously an advertisement) if you trust it: om/reviews.cribe-vpn/ The access of free account seems limited compared to paid one: (pull down the webpage to the comparison table at the bottom) Let's bring back the Internet as it was meant to be." In the end, I found out it is just a VPN service provider: "We aim to develop easy to use yet powerful tools, that allow anyone to circumvent censorship, access geographically restricted content, and minimize their exposure to marketers, criminals and surveillance dragnets. Sigh, I spent quite a few minute just to figure out: what on earth is "Windscribe"? (SD should include a brief introduction for such non-popular website rather than merely saying it is cheap). And Windscribe support gaslights/defends their new process.Most important to many is that this is based in a 5-eyes country. What I think is really going on is Windscribe is trying to deter users from using Windscribe on more than one device, even if you're not using Windscribe concurrently (at the same time).Īs a result, we risk being banned because this happens a lot according to WS's new system.
#WINDSCRIBE ACCOUNT PASSWORD#
Use a strong password you didn't use anywhere else Don't share your account with all your friends Don't login or connect on 100+ of "your devices" (no single person has that many - it's always some shady tools that people run to do some type of malicious behavior) if you follow these 3 simple steps, you won't have any issues. If this happens multiple times, you risk getting permanently banned. If it continues, and increases in volume, your account will get disabled and you will be forced to use the forgot password form to reset the password and terminate all active logged in sessions. If your account exhibits "suspicious behavior", you will get an email. We've added multiple anti-abuse mitigation systems on the last week or 2 to combat account brute forcing and robotic registrations.
