I use the Free Windsribe VPN.I use also UBlock Origin and No Script etc. So mostly i never see any adds.
Also Windscribe had a Filter for Malware etc.

For more Filters you must pay.Thats were they get their Money.
But also some sites say they are not so safe if a Judge want your IP…

ps:Ofcourse i woll not trust a VPN Service from the 3rd world… I think Switzerland,Iceland are the best or not?

In reply to Mr. freddy. Agreed, but sometimes we don't always agree on what "common sense" is.

In reply to Adder McCoy. I don't know if I'd call that "fake", but it is a shady marketing practice in my opinion. If a company is willing to cross that ethical line, I'd say stay away.

Articles or very informative. But I’m a little confused on one VPN service, Windscribe. I was about to sign up for the monthly service, I been using the free up to 5gb per month offer, until asked to post positive comments on Twitter and got 15gb Free monthly service. Want to know is if Windscribe VPN Real or Fake. Thanks

In reply to Mike.

I’m glad you got your money’s worth, Mike. But again, when we’re dealing with your private data here, you have more to lose than simply a terminated account. Nothing in life is free. If they’re adding services and servers, it costs them money. Where is that coming from? It’s more than a “guess” to say that they’re selling your data to fund it.

In reply to Josh Summers. Who should I trust more, a company I have a binding contract with, or your guess? Service has been great for the over two years since paying $45 for it. The feature set has actually gotten even better — adding AdBlock, Netflix servers in Canada and Japan (on top of the UK and US, which it had when I joined). You're claiming it's a scam with no evidence. Call it suspicious, call it questionable, but you're just making things up with no evidence calling it a scam. Also, lifetime memberships are no longer available. AND even if they terminated my account today, I still got my money's worth.

Privatevpn Does not honor their 30 day money back guarantee. They will not accept any reason given to them or will say you’ve used to much data. I have to dispute with my credit card. Avoid this vpn, cannot be trusted.

Signed up for the Fltr and got free VPN for life with Passel.io Forcefield.

no support. they seem to ignore every plea for help. their service slows my connection way down no matter what server I tie to. they seem to be a fraud. Avoid.

In reply to Jason. Thanks for sharing your experience, Jason! I hope it continues to work out for you, but consider this: how many companies do you know that can offer a service indefinitely at a high quality without recurring revenue? They are getting money somewhere, and my guess would be that they're selling your data or doing something else to get it.
