I have seen some people recommending windscribe VPN. So now I’m thinking about it. One thing I liked about it is you can set your own custom DNS. Which is a great plus point for me. So have any of you used it? How is it?

    No. The question was technical. Not political. It does not even occur to you that you can explain something without bringing in mention of the political situation, does it?

    Does it do “the vpn thing” - yes or no.

    Does it record your data - yes or no.

    Does it log trafffic - yes or no.

    Is it stable - yes or no.

    Are there caveats - if yes, which?

    I take issue with mentioning the curent political landscape, because it is painfully obvious why we NEED vpn solutions in this day and age. You can flame me for it all you want. I want the discussion to be relevant. Not reddit-like.

      You realise that people with political opinions run these technical solutions right? See all the recent proton hubbub?

      “Please don’t mention the political landscape that is a painfully obvious reason why some people need VPN solutions” is a strange stance to have.

      → Yes, it’s a VPN.

      → No, they do not record data.

      → No, they do not log traffic.

      → Yes, it’s stable.

      → Yes, there are caveats. The Washington D.C. server is not located where it’s advertised.

      This thread asked about my experience with Windscribe. That’s my experience, and my experience was deterred due to the current political climate and the fact my primary purchase was based on having unfettered access. Ashburn, Virginia, doesn’t allow unfettered access. And frankly, I don’t care what discussion you want.
