by Firefox user 14704794, 7 years ago5 starts these guys, no doubt WHAT SO EVER. I have been using this application a lot, specially to bypass some service limits for example those natural voice text to speech as you often, i only get a fixed amount of minutes for free. If that happens 1 click on a button and not even 1 to 2 seconds later i can resume with what ever i was doing. I basically do not use this application that much so the amount of free Gigs i get per month are well enough for me.
Most VPNs ask a lot of money, give you free but very limited use (like 1 IP), and often those servers are as SLOW A F.. as basically everyone that is using that application is using that 1 free IP address.
Not with Windscribe !! Every IP i connect to is almost instantly connected and there is barely NO noticeable difference in my internet responsiveness. Lets put it to the test shell we !
With Windscribe on speed test on a server seriously at the other side of the world for me. http://prntscr.com/mzzwp8
Without Windscribe speed testing again to the other side of the word.

Kind of impressive to be honest.
This is my normal connection speed without Windscribe on and pinging the closest server to me. http://prntscr.com/n000by
Now lets put this to the test with Windscribe on again pinging the closest server to me. http://prntscr.com/n0021a
Now i would not recommend using a WS server that is on the other side of the world for gaming as you will see my ping is high and my upload speed is low.. I had a small loss of around 4 to 7 Mbps on download speed.
I actually wanted to do 1 more test that to the same server as before but with a relay via France with WS. Damn speed tester failed twice due to a firewall error. ?
Not the problem of WS but the speed tester.
Ill stop it here as i am flying through my WS Gigs like a stoned hippy xD
But overall i am very very satisfied with the amount of data you get monthly from WS for free and also the amount of quality. I experience almost NO loss on speed on download at all does not matter what server i connect to. Though i do lose almost all of my upload data.
But some other VPNs i tried disabled you internet for some time or required you to restart the pc. They where very limited and or cost a lot of money.
Windscribe basically gives me TOP quality for free and enough Gigs to chew on. Before i run out i will be topped up with the next month free data.
There is absolutely NO other VPN that i have seen so far that gives me this much data and quality and 0% headaches installing and using it. Switching IPs is child's play with one click of a button. And my internet stays connected 100% of the time without any outages whatsoever !!!
i will even go so far to saw that i can completely not understand at all that there are people out there giving this application a lesser score then 5 stars. I seriously can not rap my head around it.
Those people must probably never have used any other VPN AT ALL. Because other VPNs i used that where free are nothing more then a pain in the ass, long installments, and often blackouts meaning my internet connection would drop every so many minutes for a couple of seconds as the server crashed and i had to wait before it connected again.
If you see the Windscribe VPN ! Just stop looking further guys because these people give you so much quality, there is basically no other free VPN that will top this.
Only already considering the download speed. Having only a loss of max 10Mbps on my total of 200Mbps on download you get no where else i can PROMISE YOU !!
Have fun jacking off in total privacy !!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Babil, 4 days agoThe extension isn't working for me. For the past year, I haven't been able to log in using it. The desktop app works, but the extension doesn't.
At the time of writing I tried to log in again and it said "rate limited". Funny thing is I can log out log in 100 times using the android or desktop app and that will work. But no.. not this extension, not even once. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bardi, 6 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Aurora, 25 days agoI like Windscribe's approach to privacy and their dedication to it, don't get me wrong. But... boy is their connection super slow. It was a pain to browse even simple news websites containing mostly text. Then there's the fact that the addon says upon initialization that it uses Ublock which I already have, and that using both simultaneously is not recommended. On disabling Ublock origin, I got ads on YouTube. I couldn't find the setting that allowed me to use my old ad blocker instead of Windscribe's built in one that only seems to work with the VPN on.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12376444, a month agoРасширение перестало работать пару лет назад - до сих пор так и не работает. Конкурентный VPN работает через расширение firefox, а Windscribe не работает.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kasander, a month agoGreat addon. Really. Works perfectly on Firefox and on Chrome.
Would be better if there was more than 10gb on the free tier, but nonetheless, this addon has a lot of extra options for tightening privacy and also there are free servers in many countries!
* for getting 10gb for free (every month) — you need to register an account and confirm your email on windscribe website. - Rated 1 out of 5by rdaraujo, a month agoIt's impossible to login:
"Something went wrong with your request. Please try again later."
Debug log says:
"errorDescription":"JSON.parse: expected double-quoted property name at line 5 column 1 of the JSON data"
Tried in 2 different PCs, with 2 different Firefox profiles. - Rated 1 out of 5by 12, a month ago
