Buyd a lifetime account too and its good. My girlfriend use it atm because i use Airvpn and atm i dont want to change to windscribe. with Airvpn i just can do way more with the Windows client and so on. but Windscribe is devinitly worth looking at.

In the next while our plan is to finish the Android app, release a website overhaul (its going to look a lot sexier), update the desktop app, update the iOS app with a bunch of accessibility features, and add SOCKS5 proxies. We hope to have all of this done by this time next month.

When your subscription with airvpn ends come to windscribe :)

I dont think i will. When i leave Airvpn i will use perfect-privacy vpn. Its just that these two are over all the others i have tested, include Windscribe. its hard to beat one of the two, if even possible when it comes to the quality of the service. for easy to use, windscribe is maybe one of the best, simply on/off but for funktionality and other factors its far from being the best. Maybe in 1-2 Years i will do another deeplook to windscribe but until now its there is nothing that want me to change to it.

Our servers are all optimized for speed. We never let any server reach more than 30% of their network interface capacity. "Slow speeds" are a result of many factors, usually poor routing from one location to another, which is usually outside of our control. The only reason solution is more servers in more places.

First thing i would do is to make a opensource client or one avaiable to the standart client like Airvpn.That is one of the main reason why i use Airvpn, because they have only opensource softwares. i would be fully transparent, when a server get shut down from the provider, the police get them or any other thing that can happens. u can post ur server spec and make them public so everyone know what servers ur running, where the servers are located exactly and what data center u are using. Data centers are important for some people. maybe multihop function, dont know if its alrdy possible but i have not see any option about that in the client. With perfect-privacy vpn u can do 4. A Forum where u can get help, find helpful peoples or mods to help peoples out so they dont need to send a ticket every time. some poeples like forums alot more than a ticket system. a option where u can chose a dns u like, instead of need to write it ourself in the client. Like p-p u can simply choose any countrie's/citys dns from there servers. Auto update is not there if i am correct? there comes a massage in the client and when u click it, it will redicrict you to the website and downloads the new client, or? That should be all automaticaly without the user need todo something. (Set and forget) is realy important for the average user. when i have more time i will devenitly write some more suggenstions.

There is absolutely no good reason not to trust closed source VPN clients as the truly paranoid can easily audit what they're doing with a network analyzer, like Wireshark. You should be more concerned with the servers you're connecting to, and who owns them, rather than a simple client used to connect to them.

We offer double hop functionality between any 2 servers we have, but you must use the browser extension for the second hop. keep in mind the 2nd hop will be only for your browser activity.

Can you give me a scenario where choosing your own DNS server is a desirable alternative? I personally see no good reason for that, other than "just because". In our case, each node has a DNS resolver on it, which is only accessible via a LAN IP, so it only works while you're connected to the server itself. This pretty much guarantees that there are no DNS leaks since the DNS server is not connectable over the public Internet. What's great about that is there is zero latency, since the DNS server and VPN server is the same machine, your DNS request doesn't have to go to a random server, over the internet and come back to the same machine.

The auto-updater is on our to-do list. Public forum may be too.

Tested Windscribe for a few weeks. Nice Windows client, very clean GUI. Plenty of servers.

Speeds were good at the time I tested. Used Euro servers closet to my location. I did not use their browser extension though.

No DNS leaks detected. I have IPv6 disabled on my system. But all DNS queries showed same location as exit node servers.

Decent service. I hope it's server farm grows to include some Baltic states servers.

Well, just avoid this 14 eyes => 14 eyes <= good site for privacy reasons...
Actually its doesn't matter where to connect but where the VPN provider place is.

About the giveaway I already have lifetime license and it has been good no leaking and no speed issues and client simple and easy to use.

But I currently using my 1 of top 3 VPN's what is AirVPN.

Very good giveaway indeed! And nice to see founder here in MT :)
