Not safe to use on TV

This is just your TV being extremely ram starved and then just killing random things Windscribe can't prevent this. Get a cheap travel vpn router and let it connect with your TV.

Thanks for the bans Windscribe!

Or you know, they could invest in their service to improve the bandwidth… all servers at this point should be 10+ Gbps. I am also speaking as someone who would use at most 3TB in a month… their speeds are usable, but no where near as quick as surf shark or proton. I test all 3 and Windscribe is the

Windscribe Wrapped

It reminded me of the app pretending to be a separate VPN provider (that was just using a Windscribe connection - it's probably them trying to set an upper limit that's "in safe range" Not sure how you can run into the limit, when using 24/7 for 2 devices, and partially for 3 more, often 2 netflix r

Vpn

Free VPNs are usually slow and limited. Proton and Windscribe have free tiers, but they will not fix Cloudflare issues.

help please? my internet is PLDT Home Fiber

Won't help, 9299 refers to the ASN of the ISP. Any IP OP might get from this ISP will have the same issue. Windscribe does not customers from PLDT. OP, try signing up over mobile data.
