Description from store
Windscribe is a VPN desktop application and proxy browser extension that work together to block ads, trackers, restore access to blocked content and help you safeguard your privacy online. Free plan provides 10 GB of data per month (if you confirm your email address), and the Pro plan has unlimited data and access to servers in over 134 cities in 69 countries.
Still not convinced? Perhaps this elegant list of features will convince you otherwise.
Browse Privately
-------------------------
Governments block content based on your location. Corporations track and sell your personal data. Add Windscribe to your browser and take back control of your privacy.
Advanced Privacy Features
-------------------------
Windscribe is not just a proxy extension. It's a suite of privacy tools which include:
* Ad + Tracker Blocking - Ads and trackers follow you around, waste your bandwidth and compromise your privacy. Windscribe will block all this crap.
Malware Blocking - Some sites distribute malware. We'll prevent you from ever ending up on those sites.
* Social Blocking - Social networks are the biggest privacy invaders out there. Block their trackers.
* Whitelisting - Our block lists are not one size fits all. Customize your experience.
* Location API Spoofing - Sites can request your GPS location why bypasses most proxies and VPNs. Not with Windscribe.
* WebRTC Blocking - Prevents WebRTC leaks that plague most proxy extensions and VPNs.
* Timezone Spoofing - Sites can detect that your IP doesn't match your browser's time zone. This feature solves this problem.
* Notification Blocking - Tired for sites asking you to send notifications? We are too. Enable this feature to never see those things again.
* User Agent Spoofing - Helps combat browser fingerprinting
* Cookie Monitoring - Leave nothing behind. This feature deletes 1st or 3rd party cookies when you close the tab.
* Language Spoofing - This feature will spoof your browser's language settings to match the proxy location of your choice.
Unlock content
--------------------------
Windscribe VPN masks your IP address. This gives you unrestricted and private access to entertainment, news sites, and blocked content in over 62 different countries.
No identifying logs
-------------------------
Your privacy is a right. We don’t track you. We don't sell your data to marketers, or even share it with anyone. We don’t keep logs that can deanonymize you.
Go beyond basic protection
-------------------------
For comprehensive privacy protection even outside of the browser, use our desktop VPN applications (they’re also free). Available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Did we mention mobile? Yeah, there's mobile apps too.
We got your back

- (2025-07-17) Works for youtube on chrome
- (2025-07-10) very good
- (2025-07-09) good app
- (2025-07-09) This used to be a good extension (4/5) but.: -1 star: Ad blocking on YT is not supported anymore -1 star: Multiple times a day when i click the extension i'm spammed with announcements i don't care about. I PAY FOR THIS, LET ME JUST USE IT! -1 star: It is not saving any of my allowlist anywhere after reinstall, if you plan to use this extension for prolonged time and you invest time in config, you'll lose it all when you reinstall or install on another device. Why is there even accounts then? Just to take money? Final score 1/5.
- (2025-07-05) It's premium
- (2025-06-28) DOES NOT work as an extension in the browser, in any (Edge, Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave)!
- (2025-06-27) The BEST against free! Fast and reliable proxy software ever!
- (2025-06-22) nice scam no 10gb/month because you guys don't even send the confirmation mail well done
- (2025-06-19) Works amazingly and is free :)
- (2025-06-17) god bless yall windscribe
- (2025-06-16) scam, not working
- (2025-06-13) doesn't work
- (2025-06-12) no longer works in russia, blocked by the state
- (2025-06-07) You should have really wrote at the very first paragraph that 'free' option is 10gb limited, so people like i would not even download it.
- (2025-06-04) works, cheap and fast
- (2025-05-28) Working well since i have heard about it and i recommend this every time to other people need a server like this
- (2025-05-27) For some reason whenever this extension is connected on Vivaldi on Mac, it redirects all my Google searches to Yahoo through some site called finditonlinenow. Whether the extension or app is connected, it happens. As soon as either is disabled, it stops happening. Very odd and wondering now if the extension has been compromised.
- (2025-05-26) Windscribe is one of the few companies I have encountered that absolutely refuses to issue a refund if you miss the trial expiry date, even if you haven't used their service for even a second. They are aware of this through their logs. This behavior strikes me as dishonest and indicative of a lack of customer care. I will never use their service again in the future.
- (2025-05-20) Was working great for years but now it messes up my browsing experience even when it's turned OFF. Can't click login buttons or recaptchas. Very strange to affect my browsing features when turned off. Look into this ASAP. As soon as I disable it, everything works again.
- (2025-05-19) Absolutely useless service. Downloaded the extension for Chrome. But I couldn't launch it. First it asked to register an account. Then it asked to update to the paid PRO version.
- (2025-05-18) Windscribe used to be a legitimate company in Canada. Not only are they now selling swag to make a few extra bucks off of you, they charge in US dollars for all their services now. This makes them one of the most expensive VPN's in the world to use. They think people will spend $9 US a month for this when you get a real VPN like Nord for only $4.39 CAD per month or Proton VPN for $3.79 CAD per month. It is too bad that this once great company has fallen so far, so fast.
- (2025-03-22) Well, the windscribe vpn itself seems good, but this extension kinda messed with my web browser. The web fonts in google docs stopped working, and i ended up getting completely blocked by every meta service (..both of these things i've ended up tracing back to this extension). That time i chose to go through "Troll Antarctica" station caused quite a bit of trouble across the web for me 🙀 (i never really understood why windscribe needs a browser extension, when you have the standalone service... so anyway, it's turned off for now)
- (2025-03-21) Plz get it back to Chrome, it used to work very well.
- (2025-03-20) Requires an account.
- (2025-03-15) Doesn't allow use of the static IP which I paid extra for. Please fix that.
- (2025-03-14) wonderfull
- (2025-03-05) What an outstanding service.. using it from past 10 years now.. Satisfied!
- (2025-03-03) Good Extension 👌
- (2025-02-18) Windscribe Extension is detected by YouTube and some other websites as an Ad-Blocker, and of course websites won't open. I had to disable it to browse those sites Edit: there is an exclusion option (Allowlist) Edit2: Extension causes errors in facebook chat even when not connected.
- (2025-02-17) Tried to choose different locations and autopilot - nothing works. Spend 20 min to register etc, read their website, that they are different. No, not different, just don't work.
- (2025-02-16) Terrible, nothing works properly
- (2025-02-07) Best vpn you can have for free and wen you install and decide to uninstall desktop windscribe app it won't cause any problems like other "vpns". Other vpn apps break my connection settings.
- (2025-01-28) always Error while fetching Locations and no refresh no way to reset I restarted my device I changes the wifi network still the same
- (2025-01-26) I love it!
- (2025-01-24) Allowlist feature didn't work on my local ID tv live streaming website e.g. https://www.rctiplus.com/tv/gtv. And Ad Crusher blocker always detected on YouTube so I turned off this feature. Please fix this.
- (2025-01-17) The best free vpn out there so far. You can get up to 15gb for free, which is more than enough for me. And it doesn't cut the speed down on free plans. Trully goated
- (2024-12-30) Will not allow access to iPlayer. Installation was a waste or time. These VPNs all claim that you can use iPlayer, but none of the ones free or you pay for give you access. BBC is not stupid. They look down the tunnel and see its a VPN and block you.
- (2024-12-26) It took me some time to come to the conclusion that this extension is pretty much useless. It doesn't really conceal your location; it just creates a false sense of security. When I choose New York or Miami, some websites think I'm in a completely different country. I also discovered that when visiting a site that reveals your actual location, my complete real address, including building number and street, was displayed. Perhaps I am not utilizing Windscribe correctly, or maybe I need to pay to access its full benefits which I will NEVER do.
- (2024-12-19) YEEES!!! Yeah Extra! Exemplary!! Extraordinary!!! Standard for Security: Access, and Control Built from FOSS (Free Open Source Software): uBlock Origin Lite (Retains all the functionality) Head to settings (Hamburger menu), choose 'Blocker' menu, at the bottom should see the Ublock Origin button, voila!~ If not work in Russia, blame Russia; If not work in China, blame China; If Captcha not work, blame the said sevices about the CAPTCHA's- You can always talk to Russia, China, and said services to unblock your access, but don't rely on a military regime dicatorship-orwellian society as such as those services to do so. Captchas have been broken for some time, it isn't Windscribes issue, nor their duty, or job to make them work, you can simply turn off the VPN, sort the CAPTCHA, and turn it back on. You can always switch servers, to find one that doesn't trigger the CAPTCHA's because that is a thing too. Bros got rabbits 'pon wabbits up his trick-sleeve-and-Top-Hat. CAPTCHA Solution: You purchase a 'residential IP' from Windscribe, which does in fact bypass most-if-not-all CAPTCHA's and even more way to obscure/bypass networks that would dictate your access to their services/servers as well.
- (2024-12-17) Used to be really good, but now it breaks captchas. I had to uninstall it. Windscribe support was all, "meh." Not impressed with their solutions, or lack thereof.
- (2024-12-11) Fantastic!
- (2024-12-09) A wonderful stuff
- (2024-12-07) Requires sign in/sign up on windscribe.com, which is blocking access via other VPNs (shows Cloudflare stub "Sorry, you have been blocked")
- (2024-12-03) What a useful VPN 👍
- (2024-12-03) Doesn't work in Russia, it tries to open https://windscribe.com and can't. The extension is supposed to bypass blocks, can't it even unblock its own site, really? Does someone pay money for this?
- (2024-12-03) Proxy fail on all servers
- (2024-11-30) Works well on every site except youtube, which considers it an adblocker. Unfortunately you have to completely disable it when using YT which for me is 90% of the time.
- (2024-11-29) ive been using it for about 1 year, and its just perfect for the price, thank you
- (2024-11-20) i have been using this for a while now and its been working perfectly, until lately, i tried logging in on my extension and instead of me seeing successfully logged in, all what i am seeing is Invalid client auth hash. why is this happening
