Any solutions for this?

Lots of sites are now detecting WIndscribe servers and blocking. DIssapointing.

I've been using Windscribe. Not sure if it's worth the incredibly cringey emails they send me, though. People also talk about the benefits of a VPN, but none of the downsides. A lot of websites just bar you entirely if you're using one. My bank in particular just hates it. Never doing that again.

Unbearable slow speeds for the past week

Yep. As nice as it is that Windscribe has been successful and gotten more popular over the last few years, that does unfortunately put them on the radar for ISPs and streaming services (RIP my ability to easily watch Phillies games on MLB TV).

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 Question

Girl, I’m trying to be patient here, I really am. But you’re literally answering your own questions. No, not all traffic would be blocked. The traffic that is blocked is on the side of the provider of the website that you are trying to access. For example, I have two VPNs, I pay extra for static IPs

Vpn

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

Running SearXNG through rotating VPN connections

Am I the only one who thinks all the Windscribe IPs will just get rate limited by search providers anyways. I can't use normal Google half the time if I forget to turn off my VPN

Exit node working but only for 1-2 minutes after connection

I can operate Tailscale for my internal network machines though (at my office and not with me), just not routed traffic through an exit node, would they know? I can run Tor fine to get around blocked sites. I could not connect NordVPN obfuscated or Windscribe stealth.

Can't pass the cloudflare verification

Clown ass Cloudflare won't let me pass "Additional Verification Required" even when I click "Verify if you are a human" on certain Windscribe IP addresses

10th birthday $29 plan: code 10YRBABY

I've heard surfshark is owned by Nord. makes you wonder why they even exist. I guess maybe they were already a thing and Nord just bought them out. I used to have issues with streaming sometimes/semi-often using Windscribe, but that's when i was on a 50 down 10 up copper DSL connection. Now with 300
