Speeds ranged from 200Mbps up to 490Mbps, which is more than enough for many, but way under the 800Mbps that plenty of other VPN services can manage.

We'd like to see an audit, but this is all a good start.Дespite offering WireGuard, our testing found that speeds still left something to be desired with below-average results compared to the competition. The kill switch works well, encryption is what we expect, and while there is minimal logging, Windscribe is upfront about this. Windscribe's apps and systems look great and are secure, and do a fine job of blocking any DNS leaks, too. Upgrade, and you'll pay a $9 monthly for a rolling monthly plan, dropping to a reasonable $4.08 a month when you commit for a year. It's really remarkably powerful compared to the competition.

In our complete Windscribe review we'll be exploring how to the provider performs in all the areas that matter. Yup, there's a lot to like here, but it's not without shortcomings including some support and speed gripes. Ticking a lot of boxes, Windscribe also works well when it comes to unblocking streaming services. There are lots of clients, torrent-friendly proxy options, and WireGuard, all backed by unlimited simultaneous downloads. So while this is a relatively young setup, it's offering some impressive features and a very useful free VPN.

The company is based in Canada, having been founded in 2015. While Winscribe might seem playful and light on its website and through its marketing, the security and privacy it offers are taken super seriously. The end result is a broad offering that's easy to use, but can be drilled down into for plenty more advanced features and, in some areas, rivals the best VPN services on the market. Windscribe VPN is a feature-rich service which straddles the line between complexity and minimalism.
