Serious Discussion Windscribe reneged on my free account

[uninfected1]

they did the same thing to me, my account qualified, i didnt know about a deadline because i dont keep up with this stuff too busy with life - ended up having to email the company and they gave me no exceptions on the sale even if i had one of the few qualified accounts - not great customer service they basically said its impossible to do now.

Will not support windscribe after this, 10 days no exception = no business with me again.

Completely agree as I've already said on this thread. I used to promote Windscribe here when they started out. In fact I think I was the first to recommended them. Not after this though. It's bad in so many ways. If they renege on this, who's to say they they won't do it again? This Putin nonsense is also very patronising and insulting to the intelligence of their customers. Maybe if I was teenage or preteen I would think it was humourous but I'm not and I don't. They have lost my trust and like you I'm done with them.

I'm using both, Proton VPN and Windscibe. Proton VPN when I need unlimited data, Windscribe for unblocking the content. Once they reduce free data plan, I'm going away and will use free proxies instead. I don't need VPN for encryption or "privacy protection"; for unblocking content that isn't accessible to me. And for that, free proxy is more than enough.

Windscribe wasnt a great vpn to begin with, so no biggy; the question is who is the best value lost cost option now?

@codswollip mentioned in his original post these three:

NordVPN, AirVPN, and Mullvad VPN remain the top 3 services for user protection.

Im aware those are the best - what about for streaming? low cost torrenting vpn? lifetime?

Lifetime subscriptions are not a sustainable business model. Don’t chase those, that’s how Windscribe ended up here.

what do you mean free proxies to unblock content?

Those simple proxy browser extensions.

And that's the problem. They've reneged once, they can do it again. In my view they can no longer be trusted and the final straw was the patronising Putin nonsense.

Never trust windscribe - a ceo who ran many pornsites before starting windscribe. would you trust a porn company with your data?
Nope, i wouldnt either.

I would rather trust porn site than Meta or Google

What Porn Streaming Sites Are Doing with Your Data

In 2018 and beyond, it’s safe to assume that there’s at least one company watching everything you do on the internet at all times, poised to profit from that data.

Tech giants track porn-viewing habits, study finds

A study by researchers from Microsoft, the University of Pennsylvania, and Carnegie Mellon University has found the vast majority of popular pornographic websites leak data to third parties like Google and Facebook.

Your data would at least have a happy ending!

And what’s your problem with that, are you a nun or something?
