Protect your online privacy with Windscribe

Windscribe is a virtual private network (VPN) service with a number of available subscription plans ranging from free to higher monthly subscription prices. This service anonymises your internet traffic and prevents it from being observed or recorded. It's also a great way to get around content restrictions for users in a country where internet use is censored. As an added bonus, it also blocks ads.

A simple VPN with good data allowances

If you've used other VPNs before, you'll be pretty familiar with how Windscribe works. The client is small and easy to use, although installation is a little more complicated than it is with some very simple VPN services. The service's privacy policy is both short and strong, with good protections for user privacy in an easy-to-understand document. Like many other services, this one offers a relatively limited number of locations for some of its plans, which can limit you if you're trying to access content restricted to a particular location. On the other hand, data allowances, especially for the free plan, are very generous. If you want to customise your experience, the client does offer you some control over settings.

Easy to use and robust

Windscribe has a strong privacy policy and generous data allowances for its free plan, making it a good choice for starting VPN users.

  • Pros

    • High data allowances for free and affordable plans
    • Good privacy policy with very clear explanation
  • Cons

    • Download speeds can be variable
    • Limited number of locations available on some plans

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
