I see a fair amount of misinformation about Windscribe's features, pricing, etc.. I have zero complaints. You can build a custom plan for as low as $3 monthly, and if you want pro you can usually buy a year's worth for about the same if you wait for one of their promotions. Promotions are usually around the holidays, and are about $29-30/year.
Good speeds for my purposes, several free servers in diverse locations, and enough data for any purposes - and that's the free version! Ok, I'm not downloading huge streams of whatever, but for free it's (so far) unbeatable. When I want to downwload films, I'll upgrade...
If you are looking for a new synonym of the word unprofessional there you go you found it! Windscribe is not a company is just a joke that makes money from scamming people thinking they getting VPN services... Even after all these years they still do silly pranks on their supposedly customers by tricking them with a fake 1 year of free PRO service and days later telling it was just a joke as everything they do are for them... The only positive thing you can take from all of this is that if they can run a joke company and make money so can you... But will you still sleep at nights... That's up to you...
