Windscribe VPN

Easy to use UI. Works very well, with multiple IPs per state (or country) it also picks the most optimized IP for your internet if that interests you. Also any information you would want on how the VPN is set up is readily available on boot up so you won't need to search around and can set in the background to do it's job and get back to what you want to do.

I think it could be the very best of all the VPN's that claim to be free and probably a few of the Premium VPN's as well. It dang sure "could be," The one and only flaw that I've experienced with it so far won't let me rate it anymore than three stars at this time. The VPN seems to disconnect by itself when the screen goes off and may or may not stay off for a few minutes even if you turn on "Always On VPN." That is not only a major flaw but in the wrong place at the wrong time its catastrophic

Update: the new version works very well and stays connected. I'm very happy with it now. Love the service - it is fast and easy to use (I have the Pro subscription). The desktop app works very well but the Android app lacks some functionality and has some connection problems. The Android app frequently disconnects and there is a notification that it is waiting for a usable internet connection even when there is one and I have to repeatedly reconnect manually. Not very stable. The app hasn't been upgraded for almost a year now. Hopefully the app will be upgraded soon.

I've been using it for awhile now after getting the lifetime subscription. It usually works alright. Sometimes the connection speed is inexplicably slow, which causes problems. But mostly what's keeping it from a 5 star rating is the tremendous battery drain. When active it can drain me up to 10% in 20 minutes. This makes it unusable outside of my home network where I can have it plugged in the whole time. Please, I'm begging you, address this issue!

Gone downhill. This app used to be great. I used to use the free versions and loved it so much that I eventually subscribed the incredibly affordable premium version where you create your own plan for only $2 a month. The speed was great and used to stay connected pretty consistently until the past month or so. Now it constantly disconnects and slows down to unusable speed. Videos buffer, pages don't load. It's awful and sad. I've reached out to the devs but it's still an issue.

I go to china a lot and the first 2 years this provider didn't work in China or had issues. But the last 2 years were a big game changer. I use windscribe along with a few other VPN providers just in case there are issue. I'm glad to say that this is the only one I use when in China and when I'm traveling all over the world. Especially in the U.S. This thing is very fast. I also have VPNunlimited and fastest VPN. They both work very fast in the U.S as well. But some issues in China.

Great VPN for Android. I've been using Windscribe for over 1 year, and pretty happy with it. When I initially got it, Windscribe had a 2GB allowance for free, and was pretty fast, so I upgraded to Pro, which gives Unlimited users, something I really appreciate. The WINDFLIX servers are available for both the Netflix US and UK libraries, and have a reasonable speed. One thing I was extremely dissapointed with was the lack of a stealth mode. This was finally resolved with the most recent update, because without it the service would've been useless since my institution introduced Deep Packet Inspection. Luckily, this, along with the UI refresh make this the best looking and most reliable Android VPN.

Giving this 3 stars since it bypasses Netflix's proxy detection, however this is not an ideal VPN for streaming. Videos buffer every minute or so, and streaming services sometimes take a couple of minutes to fully load. I paid for a month's membership so I could access a specific server, but I will not be renewing. It's not worth it based on the slow server speed.

Overall it works great, but i purchased a static ip and whenever i click it, the app crashes. Every time, without fail. EDIT I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and cleared cache and data and now it works fine. Changed from 4 stars to 5. the only negative so far has been their lack of customer support. I've opened a few support tickets and haven't heard back from them in almost a week June 2020 edit: still loving the VPN and the app is good. I've had better success with support lately.
