Your shield against threats for online surfing
Windscribe VPN delivers robust privacy and security, ideal for users focused on anonymity. Its standout feature: AES‑256‑GCM encryption with SHA‑512 authentication (for OpenVPN) and a 4096‑bit RSA key, plus perfect forward secrecy. For other protocols like WireGuard, it uses ChaCha20‑Poly1305 encryption to ensure high-speed yet secure connections.
Windscribe enforces a strict no‑logs policy—no IP addresses, browsing activity, or session timestamps are retained. Minimal connection metadata (e.g., bandwidth usage) is stored temporarily in RAM and purged after the session ends. Additionally, it includes powerful tools such as split tunneling, allowing users to route selected apps or sites outside the VPN tunnel. Its R.O.B.E.R.T. feature blocks ads, trackers, malware domains, and even social media trackers, though malware blocking is not 100% comprehensive.
Security tools for total peace of mind
Cross-platform protection without compromise
Windscribe is compatible with a wide range of platforms, including PC and mobile, ensuring users can secure their privacy across all devices. Browser extensions are available for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, offering convenient privacy tools directly in your browser. Notably, it allows unlimited simultaneous device connections—a rare and valuable feature even on its free tier.
Privacy made simple
Windscribe’s interface is clean and intuitive, enabling effortless navigation through features. Just a single click is needed to connect to the server, with both map and list views available. The setup process is quick and straightforward, catering to both novice and experienced VPN users. For more privacy, you can opt for anonymous sign-up without providing an email address and even pay using cryptocurrencies.
