Advice Request Got this from Windscribe VPN blog yesterday.

A good read and pretty honest imo. (Disclaimer: I use their free VPN from time to time)

We’re not paying for #1

VPN usage has been rising steadily over the last decade, and there are no signs of it slowing down. The industry continues to grow rapidly…

An excellent trustworthy VPN. I stopped using it due to terrible customer support. But aside from that, it is very good.

I have two or three accounts with them with 50 gb per month cap I signed up for few years ago for free. Hardly use it though. But handy when I do, just toggle my firefox add on!

Was that from their paid or free service?

A long time "lifetime" subscriber to Windscribe but I confess I hardly use it. That newsletter/email the OP refers to dropped into my email Inbox yesterday. I am glad they took the step they did. Windscribe's reputation just moved up a notch or two in my mind.

Have they stopped their cheesy, lame and unfunny newsletters for their free users?

I also go this blog and it just underlines what most of us have suspected for years. I'd like to see a truly impartial review of VPNs (the UK Computer Managzine PCPro did a review a while back and that seemed honest- they have a reputation to maintain and don't carry VPN advertisements by the way). However, they didn't investigate VPN ownership and who is behind some of these companies- something I want investigated.

I bought a lifetime subscription to Windscribe a few years ago- it was worth the gamble. The service has improved considerably over the last few years and I think it stands up against any on the market. You also have a verifiable business address and named individuals running the company (unlike many providers).
