Advice Request Windscribe VPN - Question

[SpiderWeb]

Windscribe is good and safe. I recommend the server closest to you and use IKEv2 or WireGuard for best speeds. Windscribe also comes with a DNS ad and malware blocker which is really nice. The developers are active in the community and constantly improving based on feedback. I would trust them any day over NordVPN or ProtonVPN which is not run by the same people as ProtonMail!!!

Hi: I gave Windscribe a try on PC a few days ago, at that time Wireguard was not supported in the desk app - As the person I was checking it for wont be able to manually config Wireguard is it now supported in the app like IVPN & Strong VPN for example? I use Windscribe on my Android TV sometimes but not on this PC.

Hello @Alex Klein.
I use EkspressVPN, ProtonVPN Plus & Bitdefender Premium.

Can I ask you a question? Why you have all these three paid VPNs all together?

I don't know about PC and when it's available but it's coming. I use it on Chrome OS and Android. IKEv2 is just as secure and just as fast. I would recommend IKEv2 on Windows since it's a protocol by Microsoft and has kernel level support and hardware acceleration. It has never failed me.

Not a question I like: No its because I like to play with them, measure speed on different servers, compare security, and so on, simply time consuming or something.

Thanks for the info: I'm on a 350 meg connection which will be upped next month to 520 & option of a GIG (not that bothered about that) & I find Wireguard the only protocol that's up to that speed or higher, IKEv2 is good but not as fast as Wireguard which I use on IVPN & that gives very little loss - I'll keep my eyes open with Windscribe as I have a lifetime licence.

Hi, does anyone has tried AtlasVPN, it gives some impressing speeds, especially on the Netherlands servers, I could almost not feel or measure any speed loss & it was on the free version, I am very impressed, I am going to purchase the full version next month.

Ooooh why didn't you say so? OMG a story about Gigabit on Windscribe. I have gigabit Internet too. Windscribe is not on the level of IVPN when it comes to Gigabit bandwidth but it is on that level on ping. It can keep up up to 100 Mbps but beyond that it's capped for me. I am not sure if it's Windscribe or if my ISP is actively discriminating against using Gigabit fiber + VPN because the download speeds seem to be capped to DSL speed while the upload speeds are just as fast as regular Gigabit Internet. My experience is mostly LTE. How well your VPN performs is really dependent on your ISP's relationship with the VPN servers it is pinging. IVPN owns their own servers so they are premium level and not blacklisted.

I have heard a lot about Opera vpn, but I have not tested it yet. What vpn do you use?

NordVPN (paid)

I used Windscribe before the pandemic to bypass firewalls at public networks, it's one of the few (maybe the only) free VPN that allows you to change the protocol and port to be used

If you wish to use streaming Flix etc, IMO Windscribe is by far the easiest to use on a TV, Firestick etc.

No, I haven't tried it. I use EXpressVPN. Did you buy AtlasVPN now?

 

[FireHammer]

No, I also have EkspressVPN+ProtonVPN Plus+BitdefenderVPN Premium.
But I have found a very interesting provider:IVPN.

How do you like to compare ProtonVPN with Express? Which one in your idea is better?
I noticed that there is no option to pay for ProtonVPN with other payment options. But Techlore had a great review of ProtonVPN.

 

[FireHammer]

Hi, ProtonVPN Plus is IMHO a better VPN than EkspressVPN & faster too.

 

[Soulbound]

Would like to point out OP is looking for free alternative.

if advising paid solutions, mention if they have trial or a free user route.
