    Default Windscribe vPN thoughts/ comments?

    Pretty good deal on 3 years for 54USD was going to get it, wondering if anyone uses it and have any thoughts / comments.

    It's bad. I didn't like this software immediately after installation. Even the installation process made me suspicious. Maybe I just had bad luck with where I downloaded it. However, that in no way makes me feel better about this VPN connection software, guys. Now I use setting up proxy servers for my browser anonymity more often than VPN programs, you know. I like that it's easier to work with and connect than a VPN. I've been working with
    Code:
     https://soax.com/turkey-proxy
    for a long time, and I've found that it's more convenient and secure. Since I started using it, no site has yet gotten my IP address data.

    I fundamentally do not use a VPN, even a paid one, I think it is not safe enough. I prefer to buy proxfor work, because I know that it is not a waste of money.

    I've had no issues with WindScribe. overall for IPTV.

    Stacksocial presently has a special going on for 3yrs of Windscribe VPN for USD$49.99. Pretty good price overall. Sale finishes in 3 days.
    Not sure I can post a link to the deal, but do a google search for "stacksocial windscribe 3yr" and it should be the first hit Stacksocial is legit with these VPN deals. I had purchased a "keepsolid" vpn subscription from them ages and no issues with the account. Can't say keepsolid is great (especially for P2P), but that is not on stacksocial, that is on the service.

    Windscribe also has 2 android versions of their client. 1 for Regular Android (which is fine for phones, tablets and cheap generic Android boxes). But if you have an AndroidTV box (Mii Box, Nvidia Shield or even one of the many newer BuzzTV boxes based on AndroidTV 11), then make sure to download the AndroidTV version. The AndroidTV version does not need to use mouse cursor to navigate, it can be fully controlled with the standard dpad of most remotes.

    Windscribe also offers a free trial. You get 2GB of traffic per month just for signing up. They bump it up to 10GB/month for confirming your email address. And then if you redeem voucher code "ABGOOSHT" it bumps you up to 30GB/month. OK, on the free plan you don't have access to all their VPN servers, but still have plenty to be able to use, and they do work with IPTV.

    Windscribe also allows you to generate configuration files and profiles for the following protocols: OpenVPN, IKEv2, WireGuard. Which is great if you prefer to set it up on a router that support OpenVPN. I have decided to repurpose my old Asus router as a VPN router. Set up VPN on the router, put it behind my existing firewall, and anything that connects either to a WiFi SSID of my ASUS router, or via one of the hardwired ports, will always be behind VPN. That way it is simple to connect ot VPN, just by choosing the desired WiFi.

    You can't go wrong with Windscribe, nordvpn, pia, surfshark, ipvanish for iptv use. I know many who have these services and so far they are all pretty happy for using with iptv. Now if you need it for something more specific, like netflix, hulu, p2p, etc.. then that is a different story.

    I use cyberghost but not to happy with it. Some nights good and other nights not so good on the USA optimized for Android connection.
    If I select a different country besides optimized for android, the download speeds are so slow on the buzz boxes, hard wired.
