Windscribe Review

"We've always used Windscribe. They offer up to 15GB/month on their free plan which should be plenty if all you're doing is pushing around documents, emailing, researching, etc. The UI is minimalistic, straight-forward and easy to use. It'..."

"Best free ones are gonna be either proton VPN or windscribe free. If you can get a paid Mullvad is only approximately €5 a month ($5.91). All of these are reputable VPNs."

"Use Windscribe. Free 10GB every month and you can still choose which country to use."

"if you want a good free VPN service try Proton or Windscribe"

"I have Windscribe, so I just change my location and get past it. Free VPN baby!"

"You could try out Windscribe, they offer 10GB a month free. After using it for quite a long time I now have the paid version."

"... overall. Speeds slowed down a bit during busy hours, but it was still usable. After that, I tried Windscribe and ended up liking it more as a free user. The ability to choose from more locations was nice, and the connection felt smoother ..."

"...ng through recent free VPN Reddit posts, I noticed the same names coming up again and again, mainly Windscribe and ProtonVPN. I started with ProtonVPN because the unlimited data sounded ideal. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that torrent ..."

"I used WIndscribe for free for a long time but yes did run out a few times. Just bought it on a super sale they had. They are great IMO."

"I was using Windscribe free for years. They had a great Black Friday sale which I bought to also watch TV streaming that I pay for in Canada but the show I wanted to watch was only in the US. I did have trouble too but when paying for the..."

"Windscribe has been my go-to for stuff like this too. The fact that you can pick specific U.S. cities on the free plan is a huge plus, especially when apps like PrizePicks are picky about your exact location."

"Your best bets for free are Proton, Windscribe or RiseUp VPN. RiseUp is funded by donations so if you do use them and like them shoot them a donation."

"...inconsistent. Some pages loaded fast, while others crawled or did not open at all. I then tried the Windscribe browser extension, and it worked far better. After creating a free account and verifying my email, I connected to a US server and..."

"...ot amazing and can dip during busy hours, but for reading sites and watching short videos it works. Windscribe has a monthly data cap, but it is enough for light use and it lets you choose from several locations, which helped with accessing..."

"...t sreaming (netflix I have not tested) However, for heavily censored networks, I have to use free windscribe and proton. Pure does not work. Speeds are ok. My interne is only 50mbits/s though."

"...mainly concerned about public wifi security you might be better off with Proton's free tier or even Windscribe free since they're more proven. Just my 2 cents tho"

"...e servers. My connection slowed down a lot and eventually stopped when I tried. After that, I tried Windscribe instead and had a better experience. Their free plan offers a monthly data allowance if you confirm your email, and some location..."

"...vertised itself as totally free, fast, and not keeping any logs. I normally stick with ProtonVPN or Windscribe from the common free VPN lists, but I decided to try this one out just to see how it compared. The setup was fast and the app its..."

"...t painfully slow. Pages took a long time to load and some never opened at all. After that I tested Windscribe and it felt noticeably better. I connected through a European server, launched Tor, and was able to browse onion sites with much ..."

"...wanted to move away from relying on free VPNs all the time. I had been switching between Proton and Windscribe before, which are fine for basic use, but I wanted better speed and stronger privacy for streaming and some light torrenting with..."

"Why Windscribe Is a Popular VPN Choice in 2026? I have been thinking a lot about why people use VPNs in the first place, since the reasons seem to vary a lot. Some people care mostly about privacy and keeping their browsing habits away fro..."

"NordVPN, its not free tho admittedly. there are VPNs that are. Windscribe"

"Windscribe reviews in 2026: Is it legit or a scam? I'm looking for a VPN with a good free tier that I can use for occasional browsing, and Windscribe's free data allowance looks pretty generous. I also like that they have a "Build a Plan" ..."

"...ine I saw people comparing it to a VPN. Since I usually switch between free VPNs like ProtonVPN and Windscribe that I find mentioned in free VPN Reddit posts, I decided to test if Private Relay could replace those for everyday use. After t..."

"To start with I will use their free version just as I did with Windscribe. If it works well I will look at purchasing the paid version to get the country locations I actually need."

"...PN for everyday privacy use right now? i've been testing a bunch of free VPNs lately (Proton free, Windscribe free, TunnelBear, Hotspot Shield free) and most of them feel too limited for daily use. Either the speeds drop hard on free serve..."

"I wouldn’t call any free VPN perfect, but X-VPN has been more usable for daily browsing than Windscribe free for me. The data cap on Windscribe killed it pretty fast"

"yeah windscribe is nice until you hit the limit, then it’s basically done."

"...tioned in free VPN Reddit posts. I first tried a couple of popular free options like ProtonVPN and Windscribe since they are always recommended. They connected to US locations without problems, but Netflix either blocked access right away ..."
