And we come bearing two gifts
Once a year, people around the world come together to celebrate April 20th. For many of you cool kids out there, it’s because of weed. For others, it’s because they have a fetish for the numbers four and/or twenty. We don’t celebrate either because:
- We have actual work to do.
- We're into letters, not numbers.
Don't smoke and drive.
Instead, we celebrate this holiest of dates because it’s our anniversary! This year Windscribe turns 5 years old, which is also coincidentally the mental age of the person that is writing this email. That’s right, just five little years ago, Papa Wind and Mama Scribe got busy in the back of a high-mileage Nissan Sentra and baby Windscribe was born. Who would have thought at that time that we would grow into the most privacy-conscious, handsomest, super hilarious, and most humble VPN company out there - and it’s all thanks to you, our users... but also a lot of hard work, a phenomenal team, and unlimited office snacks. Every bit counts.
Some random people at an office pretending to do work.
So much has changed in these last few years. Now that we are big kids, we no longer pay our employees with Ziploc bags filled with Cheerios and hopes of going to Disney Land... or Disney World (whichever one sucks less). Oh no, we pay them in hard currency, Canadian currency, which is also coincidentally interchangeable with monopoly money considering how our economy is going. But seriously now, the first big news is that we are formally releasing Windscribe 2.0 for Windows and Mac.
What's new you may ask? Lots of things, but here is a short summary:
- New UI - 69% more pleasing to the eye than the old one
- Split Tunneling - Choose applications that should use the VPN
- Wireguard - Latest generation VPN protocol
- MAC Spoofing - Rotates your MAC address on every new network
- Lots More - Play around and see for yourself
Humblebrag: We’ve also reached the same amount of users as the population of Canada (if you exclude the moose and beavers, which are considered first class citizens here). Pretty good if you ask us, considering we have a zero dollar marketing budget.
And finally, drum roll please, we're very excited to announce that our DNS service is finally ready, and we call it ControlD (p.s. It’s Control-space-D, not contro-ID). After 1.5 years of development, bruised fingers from excessive coding, enough Redbulls to power a space shuttle, and 5 months of closed beta testing, we're ready to show it to the world. You can get a free 30-day trial, which is just enough time to fall in love with it, and then miss it and wonder what could have been - except you don’t have to wonder you can always just use it! There is no other service like it out there, and we know with 344% certainty you will enjoy using it, a lot. Just trust us on this one.
And because you are the best looking users a company could hope for, we’re giving all currently subscribing Windscribe Pro users 50% off. You deserve the best that money can buy - at a discount.
