Only if you manually enter https. Otherwise it goes to the http site. This is not the case for other VPNs.

That doesn't mean too much, as it's a little known VPN, It's not even mentioned at the following link.

I have Windscribe Pro. But I have become so paranoid that I don't even trust VPNs anymore. I think my goal is to get my data through the lowest number of nodes that NSA and other spooks can spook up on.

Agree they aren’t to be trusted...but most people don’t need to worry about the NSA. They don’t care about most people’s traffic even if they could see it all.

I have Windscribe Pro but I use it only on my phone if I connect to other Wifi networks.
On my Laptop I don't use it anymore because I don't see the point to make my life harder.

Agree: I personally like Mullvad, but any VPN can cause issues such as sites you need to sign in to such as eBay, Amazon etc wondering who you are (I disdain saving cookies) & sending check codes, Gmail doesn't seem to like VPN's esp on Thunderbird & Outlook, some slowdown with some AV's such as Kaspersky etc. AdGuard has fixed some issues with some VPN's but can cause slowdowns with others. I's OK of you have a really fast speed but mine is OK but I can do without losing speed so for normal? browsing I don't use VPN but I do for more critical (abnormal browsing?) that's how it's turned out with me. For my phone it's on when I'm out.

Try Mullvad via wireguard.

What do you think about the security of Wireguard'? Some sources say it is still in development and we don't know if it is secure enough or not.
I used it in the past maybe 1 year ago and it was very fast.
I'm looking for to change because Windscribe has so many issues plus it doesn't support Wireguard and they said will not for a while.

Didn't somebody file a lawsuit against Nord for logging their customers data and selling it?

Not exactly. Their was a lawsuit between their supposed parent company (or at least they supposedly have the same owner) and another vpn owner over proprietary technology for data mining and network bandwidth use. Nord was never a part of the actual suit. Though it does make them seem shady.

I know this thread is about VPN. But since for many VPN equals privacy. And another thing privacy users like to suggest is using Tor.

I thought this article would be interesting for some of you, though off-topic.

Is Tor Trustworthy and Safe?

There is a lot of misinformation being promoted in various privacy circles about Tor. This article will examine some facts about Tor and assess whether it is the infallible privacy tool it’s made out to be by some. There is a growing chorus of people who blindly recommend Tor to anyone looking...
