VPN Windscribe: Fast & Secure

About this app

Windscribe VPN is a privacy-focused VPN app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, built by Windscribe Limited, an independently owned company founded in 2016 and based in Toronto, Canada. Windscribe encrypts your traffic, replaces your IP address with one from 69+ countries, and unblocks sites and streaming libraries restricted in your region. WHO WINDSCRIBE IS FOR • Travellers who need a home-country IP abroad, or a US IP from anywhere. • Anyone using public Wi-Fi in airports, hotels or cafes. • Streamers who want Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, ESPN+, Sling TV, BBC iPlayer, DAZN and FuboTV from other countries. • Students and staff on restrictive networks, where Stealth and Wstunnel work when standard VPN traffic is blocked. • People who want a free VPN with no credit card, no ads and no email required to sign up. FREE VS PRO Starter (free): 10 GB of data per month and servers in 10 countries (US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Romania and Hong Kong), with AES-256 encryption, kill switch and the full ad and tracker blocker. No credit card. No ads. No email required. P2P and port forwarding are not included. Pro (paid): unlimited data, 69+ countries, P2P file sharing without throttling, and port forwarding for game servers and remote device access. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS • Protocols: WireGuard, OpenVPN UDP, OpenVPN TCP, IKEv2, Stealth, Wstunnel. • Encryption: AES-256 with Perfect Forward Secrecy.

WHAT WINDSCRIBE STORES Windscribe does not log your IP address, browsing history, DNS queries, connection timestamps or traffic. It stores three non-identifying data points: date last used, bandwidth used in the last 30 days, and activated app versions. INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION • Court-tested: on 11 April 2025 a court in Athens, Greece dismissed criminal charges against Windscribe co-founder Yegor Sak.
