![]() When I reviewed TunnelBear, I was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of cuteness everywhere, considering how serious they are about security.)Īfter that, I just pressed the big green power button. I could have chosen Seattle Cobain, Dallas BBQ, or LA Dogg - and for that I’m giving Windscribe another two points because very few VPNs have a sense of humor about their servers. I just clicked on “locations,” 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 can’t miss the connect button on Windscribe’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 ProtonVPN’s limited (but cheap) basic plan or Hotspot Shield’s molasses-slow free plan. Interestingly, besides that data limit, Windscribe’s free plan includes everything I’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 didn’t do is tell me about their awesome free plan. ![]() You don’t even need to give Windscribe VPN an email when you create your account. ![]()
