Battle Windscribe Free VPN VS Proton VPN Free

[Andrew999]

Windscribe Free VPN VS Proton VPN Free. I have a code for 50 GB for Windscribe instead of 10 but Proton VPN has unlimited Bandwidth for the free version but less servers. I want to know what you think is more secure or better in your opinion. I recon ProtonVPN is more secure because of Swiss Privacy Laws compared to Windscribe being located in Canada.

Links to check out. By the way Proton VPN is made by the same people who made ProtonMail which is the main mail service I use.

Hello, I would not even consider use of a free VPN-Service, you get what you pay for

Excuse my ignorance ... I ask you why?

Free VPN´s often sell their data

ProtonVPN. I do not trust windscribe abit. Dont know why. Have a realy bad feeling about Windscribe.

 

[DavidLMO]

OK - I tried Proton and could not get it to work. Tried installing 3 times. Too bad - it looked cool. But life is too short.

I have the following VPN-Services currently on my system: NordVPN+SurfEasy Ultra+ProtonVPN Plus+Windscribe(paid)they have a real good extension for Chrome, Firefox & Opera+Private Internet Access, and VyprVPN.You must wonder Why I have all these, I measure the speed from VPN to VPN on servers in various countries

Thanks friend ... but how do I know that with the VPN payment they do not do it too?
I think that is the risk of all those who use VPN. either free or paid. (I do not know if I'm wrong)

Free VPN use may be attractive for the occasional coffee shop Wi-Fi user, but a paid plan may be worthwhile because of the bandwidth limits on the free plans.

Windscribe is a Canada based company... no thanks!

FAQs - Windscribe
"Will Windscribe make me 100% anonymous?
Unlikely. Achieving complete anonymity online is extremely difficult if not impossible. Anyone who claims otherwise most likely has a pair of pants that are on fire. Windscribe will get you 90% there, however the last 10% entirely depends on the user."

I like how upfront they are with users here. Others would probably have said that ' yes, you are 100% anonymous. Not even the CIA, NSA or Super Secretive Agency of secrets can find you' .

 

[zzz00m]

I like Windscribe. Privacy, security, and anonymity have different variables that you need to define for your needs. VPN alone cannot answer all those requirements, but is a building block towards your goal.

Windscribe is a big lie!according to Windscribe App im connected to Canada East server but when I do a ip look up:
Complete IP Address Details for 199.66.88.102

That is probably because the whatismyipaddress ip database is not up to date. So I guess it gets wrong location.

Maybe try this site it is quite good in my opinion - IP/DNS Detect

 

[Sunshine-boy]

Ok maybe you are right but see the virus total results for the ISP website:VirusTotal
They actually put my privacy at risk:notworthy:

 

[DavidLMO]

What does that have to do with Windscribe?

If you plug that same IP address into this IP lookup engine, the result is Ontario CA:
IP Address Lookup - WhatIsMyIP.com®

Same here, Ontario CA:
https://ip-lookup.net/index.php

And this one too, Ontario CA:
199.66.88.102 - Yesup Ecommerce Solutions In North York Canada | IP-Tracker.org Lookup Locator

It's probably a good idea to check facts with more that one source before leaping to false conclusions.

VirusTotal

That is one engine out of 67. Most likely a false hit. But that really has nothing to do with Windscribe. Not sure what you are going on about?
