Bitcoin Forum

Hi, first post here.  :)

Windscribe (https://windscribe.com/) offers free VPN service which offers 10GB/month of free data (if you provide an email, 2GB if you don't). If you want unlimited data its just $ 4.5/month, you can use promo code WS50OFF during signup, or at a later point to get the deal. There are no logs being kept. To earn BTC, check out "Secure Link": https://windscribe.com/securelink

How often does it drop in a normal session?
Been using surfeasy and it seems to drop a lot and not really impressed, so I am shopping around for something new.

let me check this for you mate, i really looking for something like this if this give me a good line for my vpn i'll purchase the offer, thank you for sharing mate hope it will for fine for me.

I got a problem with my current vpn. My ISP blocked my vpn just today. I was really looking for vpn now. I will try the free version and see If It will work or not blocked by my country/isp. I will post my feedback here.

Thanks

It shouldn't drop anything. I've been consistently connected for over a week now.

does this 10GB/Month promo will be lifetime or it just have a limited time? as i see in the website,it's shown as a promo to get 10GB with limited time offer
and the shorten link services seems interesting but only earn if someone bought the pro plan,but yeah at all it's such a good services

My current vpn was expired yesterday am looking like this vpn now.I will try for singup for the free version.If It will work for me well will buy Windscribe Pro version.thanks for share this offer. :)

hey op can this be done only with chrome extension or it is needed to be installed on my windows app? i already sign up and I can't find the links where I can use it from chrome extension just wanted to try it out before downloading it from my system, let me know if you can guide me. thanks mate.

Hi, the 10Gb plans will be grandfathered in if they are ever discontinued.

What do you mean by "this"? The extension has a proxy, ad block, tracker block, and an ability to generate secure links from any page you're on. Desktop app is a VPN client only.

Just signup and got offers 10GB/month of free data its really cool,user friendly and I guess IP aslo good.But the problem is there is no option to select state based IP when am going to select an IP I can select either east US or west US.also how many user can can used a licence?
can you please clear to me.thanks

We currently only offer US location by the coast, but that will change as the service grows. We do not limit number of connections, however widespread account sharing is frowned upon. If you wanna share it with a buddy, its fine, if you want to share it with 20 people, its not fine.

Geez I read it VPS... :( Brother, most of the VPN are free nowadays, eg, Hola VPN, ZenMate, etc... Drop me a notice in case you have a VPS service.. Would love to buy that.. :)

Thank you for pointing out this problem,most likely due to me using their free service on my mobile.
Will purchase a year and see how that goes for me.

That's absolutely not true. 99.9% are paid services. Hola makes YOU into an exit node (lol), and Zenmate is severely limited and slow.

He have already stated 10gb free vpn service if you provide email address in OP. Most of those free vpn also provide free package in the same range. No any free vpn provider can give unlimited package for free.

if email provided 10gb will be free but if skipped only 2gb will be free not bad for free and the time frame quite okay you can use this for practicing vpn and what's the advantage if you are using it. good luck guys.

It's look great
thank's for info ;)

As it sounds too good to be true, are there any catch to this free VPN service?

what i get if i use promo code? how many server they have if i being membership and last my question they are accept bitcoin?

Promo code cuts the prices for upgrading in half. There are 20 countries, 9 of them available to free users. Yes, Bitcoin is accepted.

Just signed up. Thinking about upgrading, but will take it for a test drive this week before I do.

What is a voucher? Is that different than a promo code?

Vouchers allow for redeeming Pro service that may have been purchased elsewhere.

I have some free 1 month Pro service vouchers. PM me if you want one.

I've sent you an PM. Please reply back if you are online. I am using cyber ghost vpn but need another one, not happy about cyberhost resetting the connection after a few hours..

It is always good to have an extra VPN. 10gb is generous too ! How long do you think that will last ? Thank you I was looking for another VPN. I read here that other users have had consistent connection using this VPN , I will get it a go and if I remember I will come back and post what I think. So far so good.

anyone able to connect to Windscribe.com? It is taking forever to "Establishing connection" but nothing loads.

Can you ping the domain? Does it work?

I came here after seeing earn BTC and than found you have to get someone to upgrade under you to get paid which is hard to find. Hehe

Short review about the service after 5 hours testing:

My first test was with Win 10 from middle europe. I only tested the win-software, that offers a vpn-solution and not the browser-plugin.

With my first speed tests I thought it is a normal service compared with other vpn-providers I use at the moment. From my 100 mbit I got about 50-55 mbit with the servers from .nl .de and also from .ru. This is an experience I have also with mullvad and ivpn with servers in the same country (not .ru). But after changing the protocol from udp to tcp (what slows down my connection with other providers) I got really great speed with 83 mbit at the .nl server and .72 mbit at the .de server. To change protocol you have to change the connection mode from default to backup. Even in the stealth-mode I get higher speeds with the servers. => Speed is really good compared with ivpn and mullvad and is similar to the speed I get with airvpn.

What will be interesting is, how it is able to connect with a very restrictive firewall. I can test this in two days at a company I work. If interested, I can write the results. At this company I have no chance with the normal openvpn-setup, and with the most clients I tried, it worked not with pptp, ipsec, only with sstp.

Back to the software: It is simple designed, but it has the features you need (what would be good, but is not essential: actual speed, speed diagram, autmatically ping tests to find the best server, overview over the traffic at the servers, or: look at the airvpn-client). The IP-leak-protection works as it should be. I tested it with changing AP, lost wifi and fresh wakeup from sleepmode. It only needs a few seconds to restart, but in the meantime all traffic is blocked. Only thing, what could be done better: With the software viscosity I do not loose the connection after a short wifi disconnect, with windscribe it needs some seconds to reconnect.

After this short time testing:

Software and server speed are great. It performs better than ivpn, mullvad and similar to airvpn, at the moment a little faster than airvpn. From this site it is a must have. Only problem: This is not an old company with a lot of experience in the community how they protect their customers. The jurisdiction is a 5-eyes-country and in this business you need a good reputation and trust. But time will show.

VPN  is very important for any crypto relevant , because there are many offers specify limited number of countries , for the previous reason VPN is a must .
Thank you for this free service , I will test it , I hope it is fast .

Thanks for a comprehensive review. Let me address the suggestions/comments:

Next version of the application will have the session duration time + data transferred. Not quite the graph you described, but its a start. There already are automatic ping tests to servers in each location, and the fastest responding server is usually selected.

Regarding the loss of wifi + re-connection. If you're on TCP mode (backup or stealth), even a momentary loss of connectivity will trigger a re-connection, due to the nature of the protocol. UDP mode (default) should be more forgiving.

Yes the company is in a "5 eyes" jurisdiction (Canada), however don't let that dissuade you from using Windscribe. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and North Korea are not 5-eyes countries, would you feel better if the company was based there? Probably not. Canada has no National Security Letter equivalents, so we cannot be forced to backdoor anything without stating it publicly. Canada also has no data retention directives that would apply to VPN providers.  If there is risk of anything even remotely similar occurring, we are prepared to move the company to a more suitable jurisdiction.
 

When someone signs up to Windscribe and upgrades you will get 50% of what they spent.

new versiosn of the applications got pushed out last week with a bunch of bug fixes and new features, most related to the firewall. Let me know if you guys have any problems or questions.

thanks for this mate hope it will work good for me I really need some vpn service but I don't have money yet
so ill be going to try your free service. good luck mate.

Thanks for this chief I would try this some other day.

I will try it if the Android version available,i need VPN to my phone and it's nice to have free 10gb for first month ,thanks for sharing this mate I wish I can used it some other day.
