"Windscribe is a virtual private network (VPN) with intense "How do you do, fellow kids?" energy. It has servers in 69 countries and an annual plan that costs $69, an obsession with the sex number that rivals Elon Musk's. I'm shocked that it doesn't have a subscription costing $4.20 per month. But there's another side to Windscribe's cringe: an obsession with independence and a Bernie Sanders-like anger on behalf of an exploited public."
"In a market where the best VPNs aim for professionalism, Windscribe aspires to be punk. Its iconoclasm may have led it to develop an app that looks like ExpressVPN in a trash compactor, but it also spurred Windscribe to offer a strong free plan and forgo financial relationships with VPN reviewers. That attitude earned it a spot on my list of the best free VPNs."
Windscribe provides servers in 69 countries and an annual plan priced at $69, plus a notably strong freemium offering. The service emphasizes independence, refuses financial relationships with VPN reviewers, and shares coupon codes for several "partners in privacy". The app design favors a punk, iconoclastic aesthetic and includes unconventional user-interface choices. A rigorous evaluation across 11 categories found secure and private operation, a virtual-location change feature, and 15 different servers in five locations that unblocked Netflix by convincingly spoofing destinations. Installation, configuration, and customer support choices show odd design and service decisions that may affect usability for some users.
