![]() Quite simply, the feature will fake the configured time zone on a user’s computer to match that of the location they are connected to. With these features enabled, websites will load faster and users get to enjoy a greater degree of privacy. The browser extensions also come with a number of added benefits, namely ad blocking, tracker blocking, and social network blocking, which blocks Facebook “Like” buttons, Twitter “Tweet” buttons, Google+ and LinkedIn widgets – the social media functions listed here all collect your browsing history. In fact, if you log on from the extension to say, Canada, then log on from the app to a US server, for instance, you will notice that the app overrides the extension, both will now be connected through a US server. Logging on from the app means that all your activities will go through the network. But logging on with the extension will only turn on the VPN capabilities for your browser – anything you do in the browser will be encrypted, but other apps running on the OS will be excluded. If you’ve got both the native app and the extension installed on your machine, you can connect either from the native app of the extension. Unlike other VPN solutions, the Chrome extension is not a simple remote control, it works semi-independently from the desktop app. Browser ExtensionsĪs we mentioned before, Windscribe offers extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. The company does promise however that the feature will be coming soon. Users can connect to the ‘Windflix location’ from anywhere iOS devices are excluded though. WindflixĪs you may have guessed by the name, these are Windscribe’s dedicated servers for US and UK Netflix. Meaning that with one account you can power up every device you own. Here’s an unusual, very pleasant twist: Windscribe allows for an unlimited number of simultaneous connections. What’s more, the website provides configurations that allow users to setup the VPN on any device that support a number of VPN and proxy protocols: OpenVPN, IKEv2, and SOCKS5. ![]() Some routers are also included in the mix: DD-WRT and Tomato. Windscribe can also be set up on Amazon FireTV, Nvidia Shield, and Kodi. Windscribe offers native apps for Macs, Windows machines, and Linux iOS, Android, and Blackberry phones as well as browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. ![]() Windscribe on iOS Platforms & Simultaneous Connections In addition, the service does not put a limit on bandwidth of network switches. Asia: Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, VietnamĪside from the fact that it is missing the Middle East, Windscribe’s network is well spread across the globe.Europe: Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, ,Latvia Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.Americas: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and the United States.The company boasts the fact that all of its servers are physically located in the countries they link through and seem to take special offense at “some competitors who have most of their servers in the US and Europe, and simply fake the location with false IP WHOIS data to make it appears that it’s elsewhere.” Windscribe has servers in over 52 countries in 100 cities. Could the fact that it is a company based in Canada have anything to do with this? Regardless, let’s move on to the some more critical components… Features Servers, Switches, and Bandwidth I say delightful because their representatives were the friendliest and most cheerful representatives I’ve come across (and perhaps also partly due to my last experience with a support staff of a rivaling VPN service provider was quite atrocious). My experience with Windscribe’s live chat support was such a delightful one that I feel compelled to start my review with it.
