Sign-ups for Windscribe require a username and password. When a connection is active the Windscribe server keeps a few items in memory including your username, time of connection, and the amount of data transferred. The company says it does not retain your IP address, the sites you visit, or a record of all your VPN sessions. Windscribe also retains the timestamp of an account’s last activity on the VPN network, and it tracks the number of connections that a single account is using at the same time. Windscribe stores the total amount of data transferred through a VPN account every 30 days-each account has a “bandwidth reset” date in the My Account section. The company’s privacy policy is fairly straightforward. Data encryption is AES-256 with SHA-512 for data authentication, and the handshake is handled by a 4096-bit RSA key. By default, Windscribe uses the IKEv2 protocol, with OpenVPN options as fallback. The service offers 59 different country connections (plus a “Fake Antartica” connection) with more than 600 servers. Windscribe is based in Richmond Hill, Ontario and was founded by Yegor Sak and Alex Paguis. Go there for details about competing products and how we tested them.

#Vpn windscribe for mac update
We’ll update this review once the app changes, but there’s so much to offer with this service we got tired of waiting and decided to plunge ahead. The refresh has already rolled out on mobile, but has yet to hit the desktop of either operating system. It also has good speeds, and a very good price.įor well over a year, the company has been working on a new app design, dubbed Windscribe 2.0. Windscribe Pro is a good VPN for securing a connection over open Wi-Fi, but what really sets this service apart are the extra features.
