“Windscibe has a free plan with 10GB month of data plus they also offer a paid pro plan with unlimited data or a custom plan.”

Andy P.

Director

“Windscribe has extensions for almost every browser on a computer/laptop we use, so we can set a different location for different browsers (unlike some VPNs that only run on the Windows level).”

Cons

“The only downside of forticlient are its User Interface, which is a bit outdated, and the ram memory used, which can be draining even when not using the software.”

“I wanted HW token to don't need to type-in number everytime BUT I got token that cannot connect to PC and just click to insert the number, I must still enter it manually”

Software Developer

“on any sudden momentarily network drop, it immediately disconnects, but it do not show up to reconnect nor it tries to reconnect on its own to spare you some nerves, if you miss short lived message popup you will have to manually open it and check connection status (first page ZERO TRUST TELEMETRY, youre welcome)”

Software Developer

Cons

“The Ui can be a bit overly complicated the application window is a strange shape and personally I don't think you need to see as much data on the main screen other Vpns like Tunnelbear take a more minimalist approach. ”
AP

Andy P.

Director

“On the free plan, the servers available are very limited and have unclear names and the IPs get flagged as spam on most IP checker sites.”
