Windscribe - Free VPN and Ad Blocker by Windscribe
Review by BenoitAndrieu
Rated 3 out of 5
by BenoitAndrieu, 8 years agoWhen it works, speeds are good and browsing is not affected too much. It is not constant, it may be really quick and sometimes quite slow. Overall good.
Unfortunately, after some random time, it becomes impossible to do anything : browsing to new pages, refreshs. When it happens, gpu usage for firefox is high.
Only solution is to restart firefox which is destroying the usability.
It doesn't happen everyday and sometimes it happens multiple times per day...
I haven't tested the Windscribe windows app.
Edit : I finally switched to Opera for the cases when I need privacy. The windscribe extension can perfectly work some days but the others requires way too much restart of Firefox. I leave it with 3 stars because of the monthly 10Gb free limit.

- Rated 3 out of 5by TIuBo3aBpuK, 10 hours agoWindscribe вводит пользователей в заблуждение. Браузерное расширение с названием "Free VPN" на деле предоставляет не VPN, а прокси сервер. Никакого шифрования и безопасности у такого подключения нет.

- Rated 4 out of 5by mohammad, 2 months agoit work perfectly if we buAnd it is really unique. The most important thing for me is the speed, which is great, and the other best part is the Build A Plan section, which is unique, and I renew my account every month through this. But the only problem is that it does not work with the free account. I wish the free account worked slower, which is why I am giving it one star less.y an account
