#Windscribe pro#

Pro Tip: When you use Domain Name System (DNS), or content filtering, youвЂ™re telling your devices not to connect to categories of websites that could be potentially dangerous because theyвЂ™re known to harbor malware. I also said yes to notifications and left location order by country, not latency. Though, as your expert VPN guide, IвЂ™d really recommend making the following two basic tweaks I made before I connected.ДЇirst off, I toggled on auto-connect so I wouldnвЂ™t have to manually connect if my VPN connection dropped. If all youвЂ™re looking for is a private internet connection, you can do the same. In seconds, I was browsing safely and anonymously with Windscribe. When I reviewed TunnelBear, I was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of cuteness everywhere, considering how serious they are about security.)ДЄfter that, I just pressed the big green power button. I could have chosen Seattle Cobain, Dallas BBQ, or LA Dogg - and for that IвЂ™m giving Windscribe another two points because very few VPNs have a sense of humor about their servers. I just clicked on вЂњlocations,вЂќ found one I liked, and then chose a city: Denver Hops.

Using Windscribe on my desktop and phone was a piece of cake. I just want to make this very clear up front. You canвЂ™t miss the connect button on WindscribeвЂ™s desktop client I paid by card, noting that my subscription was on automatic renewal. Thankfully, paying for Windscribe VPN was completely straightforward, and I had plenty of payment options: credit card, Paypal, crypto, or Paymentwall, the SF-based payments platform. So tempting, yes, but to really see how Windscribe handled heavy loads, I needed unlimited data, so I signed up for a month of the Pro plan for $9.

Compare that to ProtonVPNвЂ™s limited (but cheap) basic plan or Hotspot ShieldвЂ™s molasses-slow free plan. Interestingly, besides that data limit, WindscribeвЂ™s free plan includes everything IвЂ™m getting with the Pro plan. I really had to dig to find it.) But, technically speaking, if I wanted, I could have downloaded the Windscribe app, logged in with just my username, and gotten started with 2 GB of free data per month (10 GB if I handed over an email, and 15 GB if I tweeted about it). One other thing Windscribe didnвЂ™t do is tell me about their awesome free plan. You donвЂ™t even need to give Windscribe VPN an email when you create your account.
