Windscribe - Free VPN and Ad Blocker by Windscribe
Review by OlliWolf
Rated 5 out of 5
by OlliWolf, 7 years agoSo far so good. I haven't tested on any vid sites except Netflix though and otherwise have been using it for regular use. Windscribe has a certain server called Windflix for Netflix, but that comes with the paid service and so therefore Netflix will not function with it on. Windscribe quick enough for me too, although it doesn't have ipv6 yet. It does occasionally slow down, but overall the speed has remained constant and good for me. This VPN apparently only showed up in 2017 also, but from what I've read there is a plan to eventually implement the IPV6. Between the plugin and the Windows program, the IPLeak site seems to pull up alternate credentials for the IPV4, so I must assume everything works as it should. The program also allows you to tell it of an alternate web or socks5 proxy if you use something separate to send your connections through outside of the VPN itself. After first installing the program, I did have issues with the adapter disconnecting, but not able to connect back. I had to disable the adapter for Windscribe and then re-enable it in Networks and Sharing to get it to work right and I haven't had issues since. Having that go bad though, If I remember right, causes no web pages to load if it's having complications. I only experienced the problem once, so I don't quite remember how it was like. Anyway, all in all I am pleased with this VPN and it has received some good notice from reliable sources as a comparison to the popularity and abilities of Nord. I feel I could be content with this or Nord, but again.. I've liked what I've experienced with Windscribe so far.

- Rated 4 out of 5by zubr, 15 days agoПри использовании даже с выключенным прокси-соединением нарушает фильтрацию рекламы программой AdGuard для Windows, что приводит к наличию рекламы и других раздражителей на страницах некоторых сайтов (где-то частично, где-то полностью), которые должны фильтроваться правилами фильтров блокировщика. И лишь его полное отключение в разделе управления расширениями браузера устраняет указанный конфликт в фильтрации.

- Rated 5 out of 5by RA.AZ, a month agoThanks for making this Firefox addon. Works great on postmarketOS Linux phone unlike Proton VPN extension. I noticed that your Chrome extension is updated quite recently, but the Firefox one was last updated in 2023! Hopefully it is not abandoned and is receiving bugfix and security updates.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Furfrou, a month agoBest free VPN, with 10gb a month. Very good, very spacious and fast. Lets me use NRKSuper (not NRK.tv but that's expected) so I am happy. Very well done.
