So Transparent, We’re NakedSo Transparent, We’re Naked

Windscribe is open source, letting you see exactly what you’re signing up for. Our transparency reports, audits, and court wins prove it.

We Can’t Share What We Don’t HaveWe Can’t Share What We Don’t Have

Our RAM disk infrastructure stores no identifying data anywhere. Keep your online activity private from everyone, including us!

Pay The Price That Was PromisedPay The Price That Was Promised

Honest, no B.S. billing! The price you signed up for is the price you pay. Forever. Predictable, but in a good way.

Buzzword Overload

AES256, “Super Duper Encryption,” “No Logs,” “Military Grade” (but not like that cheap gov stuff made by the lowest bidder). You get the point. We’re not just here to play—Windscribe f*cks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do You Need a VPN?

openclose

Yes, you do! Here are several reasons why using a VPN like Windscribe is essential:

  1. Privacy Protection from ISPs and Advertisers
    Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can track and log your browsing activity, often selling data to advertisers. A VPN encrypts your connection, preventing ISPs from seeing what you're doing online.

  2. Security on Public Wi-Fi
    Public Wi-Fi networks (in cafes, airports, hotels) are notoriously insecure, making you an easy target. Windscribe encrypts your data, ensuring that even if someone intercepts your connection, they can’t see or steal your information.

  3. Access to Geo-Restricted Content
    Many websites, streaming services, and news outlets restrict content based on your location. A VPN allows you to connect through different countries, bypassing these restrictions and letting you access content from anywhere.

  4. Avoid Censorship and Surveillance
    In countries with strict internet censorship, many sites and services are blocked. A VPN helps bypass these restrictions, ensuring access to free and open information. Windscribe is particularly effective in countries with heavy internet surveillance, offering an anti-censorship mode to bypass detection.

What is the Best VPN Service?

openclose

While there are many VPN services available, Windscribe stands out for several reasons:

  1. Strong Privacy Policy
    Windscribe has a strict no-logs policy, meaning it does not store your browsing history, connection timestamps, or IP addresses. Unlike other VPNs that claim to have no logs but still collect metadata, Windscribe ensures your online activity remains private.

  2. Generous Free Plan
    Windscribe offers 10GB/month for free users who confirm their email. You can also earn more data through simple tasks like tweeting about Windscribe.

  3. Advanced Security Features
    Windscribe includes features like R.O.B.E.R.T. (customizable adblocker), Split Tunneling, and Double Hop (routing through two VPN servers for extra anonymity).

  4. Unblocks Streaming Services
    Many VPNs struggle to bypass geo-restrictions on popular streaming services. Windscribe's servers are optimized for streaming, allowing access to content worldwide without any lag or buffering.

  5. Works in Censored Regions
    Unlike many VPNs that fail in restricted regions of the world, Windscribe offers obfuscation tech to bypass censorship and keep the internet open and secure.

Is It Legal to Use a VPN?

openclose

Yes, VPNs are legal in most countries. They are legitimate tools for securing online privacy, protecting data, and accessing restricted content. However, there are exceptions:

  1. Restricted Use
    Some countries, like China, Russia, UAE, and Turkey, heavily regulate or restrict VPN usage. They may block VPN services or require government approval for operation.

  2. Illegal Activities Remain Illegal
    Using a VPN does not make illegal activities (such as hacking, fraud, or distributing copyrighted content) legal.

For most users, especially in countries with open internet policies, VPNs are completely legal and widely used for privacy, security, and unrestricted access to information.

How Much Does a VPN Cost?

openclose

VPNs can cost up to $30/month, but Windscribe offers flexible pricing plans that are easy on your wallet and don’t lock you into prohibitive, long-term contracts.

Windscribe's Pro Plan costs only $5.75 / month (billed annually) for unlimited data, access to all servers, and advanced features like R.O.B.E.R.T.

Build-a-Plan starts as low as $3/month — $1 per location, $1 for unlimited data.

Windscribe team accounts are priced at $3/month, with a minimum of 5 seats per team.

Each plan comes with access to unlimited devices, helping you access Windscribe on mobile, tablet, PC, laptop, smart TV, and more. Most competitors offer a limit of up to 5 devices, making Windscribe more flexible and cost-effective for casual and power users alike.

How Do I Choose the Best VPN for My Needs?

openclose

No two people are the same; some VPN users may prioritize security features, while others might just be looking for the cheapest price. Here's a handy reference list of how to choose the best VPN:

Privacy & Logging Policy: Ensure the VPN does not log your browsing activity. Windscribe has a strict no-logs policy.

Speed & Server Locations: Global servers mean more options to get an IP address of your choice and better speeds. Windscribe offers a wide range of locations with optimized performance.

Security Features: Look for AES-256 encryption, ad/tracker blocking, and a firewall. Windscribe includes all these and more, like Double Hop and Split Tunneling.

Device Compatibility: Ensure the VPN works on your devices (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, routers). Windscribe supports all major platforms.

Bypass Censorship: If you're in a country with strict internet controls, choose a VPN with stealth features. Windscribe’s anti-censorship feature helps bypass the toughest restrictions.

Pricing & Flexibility: Some VPNs force expensive yearly plans. Windscribe’s Build-a-Plan option lets you customize your subscription for as little as $3/month.

If you need a VPN that prioritizes privacy, flexibility, and strong features without breaking the bank, Windscribe is a top choice.

Does Windscribe VPN Come With a Free Trial?

openclose

Windscribe doesn’t offer a traditional free trial, but we do offer a completely free plan with up to 10GB of data per month (no credit card required). If you need more, you can upgrade to Windscribe Pro for as little as $3 USD per month. If you aren’t ready to upgrade, you can always get more data by referring a friend or posting about us on X.

Can I Use Windscribe When I’m Travelling?

openclose

  • Bypassing geo-restrictions so you can access content from back home
  • Protecting you on public Wi-Fi from hackers and snoopers
  • Avoiding censorship in restrictive countries

It’s always best to download Windscribe before you travel to have it handy and ready to go on your devices.

Can I Trust Windscribe?

openclose

Absolutely! Windscribe follows a strict no-logs policy, meaning we do not store your browsing history, connection timestamps, or personally identifiable information. Unlike other VPNs that claim to be private but secretly track you, we take privacy seriously. Read our privacy policy to learn more. Windscribe is also one of the rare VPNs that's completely open source.

What's more, while many VPNs claim to be secure, few undergo external verification. Windscribe has conducted independent security audits to ensure the integrity of our infrastructure and policies. You can find details about our audits here.
