From a Nord and ExpresVPN customer, this is a fantastic VPN service offering cutting edge features and functions not yet found in more commonly known VPNs. Please be aware that some VPN users may choose to connect to their VPN via an open source software kit to render a more a private communication channel, so results may vary!

I really like how easy Windscribe is to use. It has a simple set up which is easy to navigate yet still looks smart and professional. The features are great with providing you a safer surfing session plus, I love not having to worry about ads and trackers constantly annoying me. Windscribe may be a bit more expensive than other VPN's but it's definitely worth the price.

Windscribe has been a great VPN for me, even if I don't use it that often. Normally I use windscribe every other day, but still find being a member of the pro plan the best way to make use of all its features. Very impressed with the overall layout which is easy to use, and the cruise control feature is a personal favorite as it always connected to the strongest server.

Windscribe is a really good VPN that has a lot of useful functions, all which help in providing a safe and speedy internet session. Speeds are reliable and consistent despite the location you connect to. Cruise control is also very helpful when it comes to automatically connecting to the strongest connection. In my opinion its worth the download and the purchase of the pro plan.
