They have many great locations and the speeds are very good, especially for the paid servers.The built in adblocker, and easy buttons to whitelist a site for cookies, ads or direct connection feature Is superb which we didn't find in any other VPN > > **Cons**: Some servers are easily detected as VPN on many sites hence it impedes functionality. Have to switch server in that case. > > Our overall exeprience has been great. We initially had the free version for over 6 months, and we kept using different VPNs (free and paid) but its consistent speeds, fast customer support and great extension for Firefox and Chrome won us over. ----- ### "It's a quality VPN even when you use the Free Version" — 5.0/5 > **Satyabrata** | *28 April 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: First of all, for most basic users, this is a good VPN even if you don't purchase a license. Just by registering on their portal, they give you 10 GB Monthly bandwidth. Which shall be enough for a normal user. Additionally, they give you an option to choose from 10 free server locations. Their speed is very decent. I've tried a few other VPNs, like the Fastest VPN, CyberGhost, and a few others as well. What I've seen with those VPNs is that either they don't offer you to select a server based on your preference or their speed is terrible or there is a waiting period for free users to get access. Some even have a daily data limit. Windscibe is none of that. I get a VPN to access any time of the day, and I get the most decent speed and an option to choose a server from the available locations. Loved it. > > **Cons**: A feel that sometimes this VPN causes some network connection in my computer. Like, I can't access normal internet without activating the VPN. Sometimes when I run this VPN, it takes a lot of Memory and CPU. I've deactivated it from the startup server times, but it almost always starts with the windows. Whenever I encounter a weird network-related issue, I just uninstall it and Install it again to solve the issue. > > I feel that as a quality VPN, Windscribe is fast and actually works. My experience is very good with this VPN, and I've been using it for a while, almost every day. ----- ### "Windscribe is a VPN with very fast connection speed but few locations" — 3.0/5 > **Emily** | *31 May 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like Windscribe because it is a VPN with very fast loading and unloading servers. I also like it because it is available for multiple platforms, like Windows, Linux, or iOS. The graphical interface is very interactive and simple. It has an internet blocker that is very useful in case there are disconnections. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately Windscribe doesn't have many locations available. I also dislike that the price is a little high. > > In the organization, we use Windscribe to test our services and web pages from different locations and verify that they work correctly and at stable speeds. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/167609/windscribe?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/167609/windscribe) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
