i have been using this for a while now and its been working perfectly, until lately, i tried logging in on my extension and instead of me seeing successfully logged in, all what i am seeing is Invalid client auth hash. why is this happening

You won't find a VPN anywhere with the plethora of extra features, options, and ethical handling of data, that Windscribe packs. I'm an app harlot, afraid of commitment and just in it to have a good time. But, Windscribe is more than a sidepiece, and they've made an honest man of me. Unbelievably, I even paid. We've been together for 5 whole years - by far, my longest relationshApp. As long as they keep puttin' out (new features), stay in the kitchen where they belong, and don't get too lippy, I look forward to a lifetime of copyright violations, and interrelationship power dynamics always being in my favor.
