This plugin behaves in a very unscrupulous manner: its default behavior is to connect automatically, and if the connection fails, it cuts off your internet access entirely. Furthermore, as long as the plugin is active—regardless of whether you are actually connected to the VPN—it enforces an "ad-blocking" function without providing any notification; it silently blocks certain connections, wasting your time as you try to troubleshoot the issue.

It was working till yesterday, now the extension is impossibly unstable and keeps asking for a proxy login; I tried to login in using my windscribe account but it didn't work.

I installed this VPN and connected to the American server 2 days ago. Immediately after logging in, my Instagram and Facebook accounts were compromised and automated crypto scam photos started being sent to my friends. Oddly enough, no foreign devices appear in account security; In other words, session cookies were leaked directly. This is the first time in my life that I experience such a security vulnerability. I assume not extension but their servers compermised. The only new variable on my system was this application. Definitely not safe, stay away!

Need a login and it doesn't even work. Premium? Forget it!

As soon as I installed it, it said I got no free data left. Thanks for wasting my time.

No more Nanny State!
I've regained access to all the sites I once used prior to the new "age restrictions" the Government decided was needed to keep the children safe. I've been a user of Windscribe for years and now can add this to my machines that don't require all the features of the full application.

It's ok. A lot of the IPs are various degrees of blacklisted/cause issues despite having a paid subscription, but at least they're stable with little downtime in the soon to be year I've used it. The biggest issue is that the company is trying to be cute about everything, with inane shit that pops up left and right. I need these people to understand that while it's their workplace and means a lot to them, it's a freaking VPN to the rest of us and we really just need it to do its thing and shut up about it. Mullvad does that a lot better, so we'll see how much I value browser-only VPN when my sub is up.

Windscribe вводит пользователей в заблуждение. Браузерное расширение с названием "Free VPN" на деле предоставляет не VPN, а прокси сервер. Никакого шифрования и безопасности у такого подключения нет.
