Firefox 149 will offer a free built-in VPN, split views, tab notes and optional AI windows

Depends on the context. For example most open sourced software is free because it helps with the development of the code or because making it free is to the benefit of everyone involved (Ex. the Linux kernel) Or using the 2 trustworthy (in my opinion) "free" VPN's that I know of (Windscribe and Prot

VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them

Yeah I'm in a similar situation with another VPN. Bought a lifetime subscription back in 2016/2017 that they were offering for ~$60 since they were a new startup, but only years later did they subtly update the account page to say "expires in 2027." Still a good deal compared to pretty much any othe

which vpn is trustworthy from an actual security standpoint not just marketing

In order of preference. Mullvad Proton Windscribe. All 3 have valid audits. All have good security and plenty of features. Windscribe has all the bells and whistles, including some that you probably don't need. Mullvad does exactly what it says it does, and does it day in, day out. Proton is kinda b

Windscribe making up rules as they go along to get rid of lifetime subscribers

Sadly, not all information is being presented here. I would advise caution against taking all claims at face-value. Timeline of events: The user's account was disabled due to an aberrantly high number of sessions. This is usually indicative of a compromised account or account sharing. If the user in

Microslop in their infinite wisdom.

Interesting that privacy stuff is under attack. The US government wants us to think that a VPN can strip away our rights. Mightily convenient. I’d still trust Windscribe with my data even if it were ‘risky’ in some way to do so.

Any solutions for this?

Eventually it happens with all VPNs as they gain popularity. Proton used to be great in the past but now every site knows you use VPN if you use Proton. Perhaps Windscribe is growing enough to get on the radar too.

Well, here it is, folks...

Here is something for you all. As you know you can use VPN to bypass this (How long that will last is another matter) But there will be quite a fair few on here not able to afford VPN. Please do not fall for the free VPN's you see online and sites. If you want a free VPN that is legitimate and safe

Switching from ProtonVPN to Windscribe: Some of My Experiences

Proton Is a overhyped vpn and company. Clearly trying to play out huge marketing cards and buzzwords while going the "checkmark " feature list of endless new features and high pricing. It's simple as that. Windscribe is easily one if not the top vpn right now specially regarding quality they really
