User reviews

Great choice of servers, good speed, very good privacy policy, generous 10gb monthly plan for free users and it is secure. Looks a little more polished than the original Wdinscribe manifest v2 extension plus the addition of 10gbps servers (more speed). Would recommend.

The original extension is not working anymore. This one works.

Come VPN Windscribe è perfetta per chi come me non ha un uso così saltuario che non giustificherebbe un piano mensile con altri competitor. RISOLTO: L'estensione V3 però segnalo che mostra problemi ad esempio su Youtube anche a VPN inattiva, infatti viene rilevata come blocker e non permette l'esecuzione dei video, occorre proprio disattivare l'estensione per permettere al sito di di funzionare. Testato anche attivando/disattivando altre estensioni (compresa la versione standard di Windscribe che funziona perfettamente) ma è proprio questa a dare problemi.
