Windscribe Review

Windscribe is a Canada-based VPN (Windscribe Limited, Ontario) that offers a generous free plan, flexible “Build a Plan” pricing, and a bluntly-written privacy policy that spells out what it does and does not log.

Devices: Windscribe states it doesn’t limit connections (use it on as many personal devices as you like), but it also says account sharing is prohibited and it tracks the number of parallel connections to prevent abuse.

Refunds: Windscribe’s Terms describe a tight refund window: refunds apply only to the initial payment, must be requested within 7 business days, and while usage remains under 10 GB. Renewals are explicitly not refundable.

Prices shown in USD unless otherwise noted. Totals can vary by region/currency, taxes (VAT/sales tax), and promo codes — check checkout for your exact total.

Devices / simultaneous connections

Windscribe states it doesn’t limit connections (unlimited personal devices). In its privacy policy it also notes it stores the number of parallel connections in a central location to prevent abuse and account sharing.

Privacy policy (what Windscribe says it logs)

Windscribe’s privacy policy says it stores bandwidth usage in a 30‑day period and a timestamp of your last activity. It also explicitly states it does not store a historical record of VPN sessions, source IP, or the sites you visited.

Protocols & key features (as described by Windscribe)

• Protocols: OpenVPN, IKEv2, and WireGuard (via config generator).
• R.O.B.E.R.T.: Windscribe’s blocker for ads, trackers, and malware.

Refund policy (strict; conditions apply)

Windscribe’s Terms say refunds apply only to the initial payment that started your subscription, must be requested within 7 business days, and require usage under 10 GB. Refunds do not include renewals.
