Windscribe is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service provider that develops tools for circumventing censorship, accessing geographically restricted content, and minimizing exposure to surveillance and tracking. The company offers VPN applications across multiple platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, as well as support for routers, Apple TV, and FireTV. The service provides encryption to protect user internet traffic and includes features such as ad blocking, tracker blocking, malware protection, WebRTC leak prevention, and cookie management through their browser extensions. Windscribe operates both free and paid server infrastructure across multiple global locations, supporting protocols including WireGuard, OpenVPN (UDP/TCP), IKEv2, and SOCKS5 proxy. The company's technology stack includes split tunneling capabilities that allow users to route specific applications through the VPN while others use direct connections, firewall modes to prevent data leaks, and DNS services. Windscribe supports peer-to-peer traffic and provides DDoS protection on their servers. The service is designed to work in restricted countries including China. Windscribe operates under a privacy-focused philosophy, positioning itself against surveillance practices and content restrictions. The company maintains open source components available on GitHub and has undergone security audits. They offer both free tier service with limited data and paid subscription plans with unlimited bandwidth.
