An excellent VPN – Windscribe VPN Review

I spent the last 15 years of my career in cyber security for Fortune 25 company. It's nice to see a free VPN that actually offers a decent amount of bandwidth and reasonable performance. I was impressed enough to buy a one-year package and have not been disappointed so far. I am able to get nearly 100% of my rated speed with the VPN on and the best location selected. I'm quite impressed that it has so many supported platforms. I have a Amazon fire stick 4K and Windscribe works great on there as well, they even include various "windflix"VPN sites if you want to try a Netflix catalog from another country. I had no problem getting additional Netflix country catalogs to work on my fire stick or on my ipad or my Windows 10 laptop. The built-in firewall Does it's job and is non-intrusive. They even offer a DNS level ad And malware blocker. I did not thoroughly test those, though I can say that the ad blocker was effective. I just prefer to control it on the client. I did use their customer support and found it to be very responsive and helpful. I sent a email request and received a response back in about 15 minutes asking for more information. The engineer figured out the problem and provided me a solution. And if you really want to be anonymous, you can buy a subscription with bitcoin. When I factor in the competitive price, the capabilities and the performance, I can see why this product has such good ratings. I bet most of those are free users. But for a very small investment, you can get non-intrusive unlimited protection if you buy one of their subscriptions. I've used a ton of VPNs and so far, when I factor in all the features, performance and pricing, windscribe comes out on top for me. I told them I would like see detailed manuals for those who want that. But it's pretty clear that Windscribe is trying to keep things as simple as possible. I think they've done a good job of that while providing a very effective VPN solution.
