User Reviews for Windscribe VPN

Why would you fix something that ain’t broken??

They added granularity to network configuration and it bugs the crap out of me.This whole “auto secure individual networks” should’ve been optional. I’m in a country where the government constantly breaks different internet protocols because they don’t want you to have access to free internet and they know they can’t just shut down the internet or the whole world will know about it. So everyday, I have to try different protocols a couple times to get a stable VPN connection. Before this update, I used to just change the protocol in the connection preferences and just reconnect.But now, there’s a preference per wifi network too and I have to change both the global protocol and per wifi. EVERY TIME.There is a auto secure switch to, supposedly, disable this per wifi network behavior, but it doesn’t work. Actually if I turn it off, I cant connect to any server at all. I tap the VPN switch and it spins around for a sec and turns off automatically. Also when auto secure is off, every time I launch the app it pops up to recommend me to keep it on and SUPER annoying!!You hear me Windscribe? Why did you guys tried to fix something that was not broken in the first place?I’m a very satisfied customer for like 4 years and this update frustrates me to the point that I don’t want to protect my privacy at all, if it’s going to cost my sanity.

Bad attitude from dev.

I’ve been using free version of this app for a days to see if it fits my needs or. I live in a country that gov blocks VPN, most of them don’t work at all or a few of them works very slow. Surprisingly this one works well so I decided to buy the yearly plan. Before purchasing I wanted to read the reviews. In negative reviews, developer responses is so rude, he doesn’t talk professional at all, he just blaming users who gave him negative reviews, Im saying “he” because it’s just one person not a company, companies customer support or developers never talk impolite and unprofessional with their customers like saying: “if you don't like the app just delete it” or “it’s just your device see my app rating is 4.7”So yeah I’m not gonna trust about my privacy to a “man” that can’t control his attitude at all! I’m saying “man” because I don’t believe this app belongs to a company, even if it does, that’s more worse for a company to hire people like that!Many people wouldn’t care these kind of things but when I’m gonna pay near 100$ per year I would expect more professional attitude!Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my native language.

Best!

This is the best and affordable VPN you can have. I tried quite a few of them, and while there are not too many with a low membership cost, this one has it all for only $2/month. It never let me down, there are a few countries/cities you can choose from with this subscription and you pay more if you want to unlock them all. One of the features I like most is the ability to automatically connect to VPN when your phone is connected to insecure WiFi (public WiFi), when you get home and your phone uses your residential WiFi, the VPN disables automatically. I’m happy they have a MacBook version now as well. I’ll hold on tightly to Windscribe as long as all these features are available and the subscription affordable 👍!

Happy with the service

In a time where government spying and malicious hacking are commonplace, Windscribe is here to help. This vpn service is one of the only providers to offer a prolonged free service, offering everyone at least 10gb of encrypted traffic per month for only your email in exchange (which they don’t sell to advertisers). The subscriber version removes the limitations of the free service, granting you more access to different locations without a data cap. Even with the free edition, you receive the same fast internet speeds as a paid subscriber. There are no specifications on the amount of simultaneous connections you can have at once, meaning they’ll allow you to connect as many internet devices as you own. There are apps for just about any modern OS, fire tv included. I’ve always been happy with the speeds I’ve received from windscribe, and as long as you don’t mind them being located in Canada... they are very privacy conscious and seem to really care about not logging or disclosing your browsing habits to anyone. They’re also very active on Reddit, and the company has a *****++ sense of humor. Give them a shot with their free version and see how the service works for you!

Fantastic from top to bottom!

I have been using Windscribe for years, and it has been great. They are constantly working to improve their service. Their free tier is definitely worth trying. I highly recommend them.There are always sites that refuse to work over VPN, but that’s not Windscribe’s fault. Fortunately most sites are wising up about this, and they are changing to support VPN connected users. About speed: All VPNs will add a little slowness because your traffic must be encrypted/decrypted. That’s how a Virtual Private Network (VPN) works. But I have noticed speeds getting better and better, to the point that this is really not an issue anymore. However, if you insist on making this your only or main consideration, take some time to research all of the factors that can affect such tests. Bottom line: all services will experience slow-downs, including your primary ISP, and it is impossible for consumers to predict or know exactly when or even why. And review sites cannot do the long-term testing required to truly tell which services are “best” overall, for the long-haul. Whichever service you choose, try them at different times on different days. Windscribe is tops on my list!

Thanks developers for a wonderful app

First and foremost thanks to the devs for creating such a wonderfully useful app. I enjoy the different options it offers in terms of internet security.However I’d like to offer some feedback as to how it may be improved further:I’ve been experiencing lag on my Mac mini on macOS Catalina with the app installed.To be fair it was already experiencing some lag before I installed the app, but this seems to be causing even more performance issues.On my iPhone X on iOS 13.3 it has stability problems when connecting to my 5G WiFi connection at home.If there’s anything the team can do to enable the ability to switch the VPN on/off easily from the settings app, that would be greatly appreciated thanks! One last important thing, I greatly enjoy and appreciate the adblocking capabilities of the service but I would love more than anything to be able to manage the specific settings of the service from the app itself rather than have to log in to the website to change those settings. Keep up the excellent work Windscribe team! We appreciate your efforts to keep our information secured from being used maliciously. Your our cyber heroes!

A note to people who download

I downloaded this so I can watch spongebob and Rick and moray on Netflix, it turns out Canada Dosent work with that policy in the middle of that it deleted a lot of my favorite shows from my watch history and I don’t know what some of them are called, it’s a pretty good vpn I don’t have it anymore because I know of another one. This isn’t dissing it or stating a problem it’s a good vpn I just want some people who are doing the same thing as me to know if you pick the wrong country/state your Netflix watch history could be deleted (btw the person who responds to the comments is actually kind of a menace, but the fact he Dosent care makes me question if this app is even good)

I have frequent issues...

I have this VPN drop numerous times in one day. Sometimes the app itself is even so troublesome that I can’t even disconnect, keeping my phone in a state of limbo while being unable to make phone calls, use internet or GPS (which has really screwed me over sometimes). I paid for a year of this and am quite disappointed. I am not sure if this is normal for VPNs. On the bright side- their new app update is much better.Edit: the developer responded saying the app would have zero impact on phone calls & GPS. I’m not saying it has a direct impact- I’m saying the fact the VPN drops and attempts and struggles to reconnect and disconnect so many times leaves my phone in a state where I can’t get any internet connection and I actually have experienced multiple situations in which I have physically seen the phone cycle through and keep my phone call “attempting to ring” as it tries to reestablish a connection to the VPN- same with GPS. I found their response to be very unprofessional sounding as well, I am going to contact their support on their website.

iPhone app drops connection

I’ve been a Windscribe user now for about two years. Their desktop and browser apps are generally excellent, current running on my MacBook and desktop as well as an entertainment and streaming server. They have the best support I’ve seen for Linux of any VPN provider, with releases for multiple distro s, package managers, and architectures, unlike most others which give you only a .deb if that and leave you on your own. The iPhone app, however, has been frustrating since the update as it drops connection. A lot. I used to be able to turn it on and it would persist across networks as I moved from WiFi to over the air throughout the day, but now it simply drops and doesn’t even indicate that it has. Every switch, even to known connections, requires a manual reconnection, each and every time. Please fix it. It’s much more frustrating now than it used to be.

WPA2 Enterprise/Wireguard Issue on iOS 15.5

Love the VPN and has worked consistently for me at work for the past two years. Recently, I noticed the VPN struggling to connect as it seems to get stuck in a loop. My device won’t ever authenticate to Wi-Fi until I actually delete the app. I tried force-closing and restarting my device but that didn’t help. I noticed in iOS VPN settings that VPN was constantly trying to connect over and over. This went away after removing Windscribe. I reinstalled Windscribe but am still having the same issue. I run my own Wireguard server and am able to connect to that just fine with the Wireguard app, but for some reason Windscribe is choking. I’m sure it’s iOS 15.5 but would appreciate y’all taking a look!
