    Amongst the most generous free VPNs

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 09 2020

    Summary: Given the fact that the Pros outweigh the Cons even for free plan, and the deal gets even sweeter with Pro plans, this is one of the better VPNs out there. Worked for services like VUDU, Pluto-TV, etc.

    Positive: 1. A 2 GB/month free plan, upgradable to 10Gb/month by registering with email ID.
    2. A lot of connecting protocols like IKEV2, TCP, UDP available.
    3. 10+ locations available across globe in free plan.
    4. Basic ad-blocker (R.O.B.E.R.T.) included in free plan.
    5. Customizable free plan starting as little as USD2/month.
    6. GPS spoofing available.

    Negative: 1. Inconsistent speeds on free plan.
    2. Occasional failure to connect in first go.
    3. Takes about 10-15 sec to connect, which is on the higher side.

    So far, so good. Better than Purevpn which has atrocious support and fails regularly. Windscribe is simple to setup and just connects automatically to your preferred location.

    Summary: I'd say this is a definite use for people who need free vpns that are good the only thing i do have a bit of a problem with is the data limit but thats all

    Positive: - Fast speeds.
    - Good services.
    - Free trial's great.
    - Great VPN for those who need geoblocking for free

    Negative: - Data limit is generally bad for any use outside of watching videos and movies

    Negative: Well, you should give more GB to us that can't afford premium

    Haven't used yet but it's seems like windscribe may have made so e positive cha ges

    2 out of 5 stars Date: May 05 2025

    Summary: First time with Windscribe was a -5 so anything has to be better I will update when I've used the product again now after changes and report back

    Positive: I haven't begun to use the service again yet but I downloaded it and have started setting it up. It looks from. An interface standpoint that look excellent and cost wise it's not terrible.

    Negative: Definitely a little Leary given the history and extremely awful past user experience with Windscribe

    Signed up and still get their emails, but could never get it to work

    1 out of 5 stars Date: Aug 11 2020

    Summary: Not a fan, if it's this difficult to get started using Windscribe, might as well use some other free VPN like Proton's free tier.

    Positive: I wanted to try Windscribe because I saw that it had a free tier, and a promotion going on where you could get additional GB free.

    Negative: I never once got Windscribe to work on any of my devices. They still send me emails.

    Not exactly sure what you mean by "they still sent me emails". If it doesn't work on any of your devices as you claim, there are inherent problems on your network. Did you try to contact support?
