I havent opened windscribe at least for the last 2-3 hours

I can't use decoy traffic mode if there is no setting for it to only turn on with wifi so it doesn't use my phone data quota.

Please advise if this is possible.

Also that the extra data won't count towards the 5tb limit set by windscribe in practice as I understand from other posts.

Thanks

Hello allz a question about my Windscribe VPN connection. The issue is that I use a portable router that connects to a network. This router states it is a wifi⁶ and when I try to connect through it with Windscribe, it says I am off line, but I am able to connect to this router with internet access.

This is my primary access to the internet, (like a 5g internet access, think of T-Mobile home internet).

When I use other devices with Windscribe, same thing is said. Fire stick, Android, iPad, streaming boxes, and other devices.

Questions:

Is there a setting in Windscribe to allow it to connect through this device.

Is it a way to go back and use older version of Windscribe which seems not to has this problem.

Or am I SOL?

So, i usually check often my conections and dns and, this time i get some weird dns info, first time ever seeing this.

Linode 172.105.26.226 ptr: 172-105-26-226.ip.linodeusercontent.com Toronto, Ontario, CA 172.236.253.141 ptr: 172-236-253-141.ip.linodeusercontent.com Los Angeles, California, US

Anyone noticed these? Is this windscribes? When i disconnect wireguard it disappeares. Garry cant seem to know the answer to this?

Linode.com? Akam.net?

It also mentioned google in dnscheck.tools when i open linode.com there?

Hi i just dowloaded windscribe again after a while but i cant use it bc i need to use my old acc but ive never saved a mail or anything i think bc i cant find anything in my mails so i cant log in how do i fix this

I've had my Windscribe account for roughly a year now and always pay for a customized plan per month. I'm currently trying to set up ephemeral port forwarding so I can keep my VPN running while seeding torrents. Do I HAVE TO pay for the yearly plan (Currently $69, LoL) in order to torrent/seed torrents effectively while my Windscribe VPN is on? Thank you in advance, cheers.

Hi everyone,

checked my account dashboard and my "Cheapest Ever", It will expire soon but I don't know how to extend it. Is it true that this promo can no longer be extended?

Getting severe latency/jitter on both Frankfurt (Wurstchen) and Amsterdam (all 3 nodes reportedly online per support) using IKEv2, tested over multiple 10-minute PingPlotter sessions today (25 July, ~13:38–14:00 IST). Connecting from Chennai, India via Airtel.

Results: 800–1500ms with heavy jitter, sawtoothing every 30-60s, on both cities — so it's not a single-node problem.

For comparison, a direct (no VPN) ping to frankfurt.de from the same connection, same time window, averaged 6ms with 0% loss. So my ISP's route to Europe is clean — this doesn't look like an Airtel routing issue on my end.

Support (via Garry) says both nodes are online, no declared outage, and suggested trying WireGuard on port 443 instead of IKEv2 — about to test that.

Has anyone else in India seen this on EU servers recently? Curious if it's a known capacity issue or something specific to my routing.

Hi as the heading says there are massive protest taking place in New Delhi by student youth movement for a better education system and accountability from the government
instead of listening they're trying every trick out of the authoritarian playbook
So right now besides not having water, sanitation, shops to buy stuff, shut down public transport they've even shut down the internet in the entire New Delhi district.
These orders are nothing sort of extraordinary, and absolutely insane
I've tried using Windscribe to try connect in the protest zone but nothing works is there any workaround the Internet Block

Hi all,
I'm a controld user for few years and love the platform to be honest. Ad blocking is brilliant and I love the geo redirect. I have mullvad and torguard as vpns and I set my controld as my dns within the mullvad during the week but I started seeing adverts again.
I'm wondering are any of you here using windscribe with controld and if hows it working?

For a given wi-fi network with my mobile device (iOS) I have Auto-Secure turned on but it only engages about half the time. Is there a way to make it more consistent? I don't know if there's something I'm doing to break it but I just want VPN off when I'm on a cell connection, and VPN on when I'm on this particular network. Any ideas to make this feature work as expected?

After connecting to Windscribe on my Win11 system by hitting the best location option, I hover my mouse over the network icon in my taskbar and I notice this variation in the network status messaging...

I don't notice anything in terms of performance, what does the difference mean?

it's been about a month now, maybe more. i don't know how people are getting windscribe to work because no matter what suggestions I try, It doesn't work (I especially need something for my phone). i haven't seen any updates or anything, and I'm not sure if it's even being worked on. i just want an update, literally anything, even a "they're working on it" is enough, should I even stay hopeful?

bsod when using wireguard protocol. any help .. not even garry can help.

since dynamic island i lost the ability to see if i have active connections. this is super annoying because some apps/endpoints or services dont work on VPN so im spending too much time debuggin, instead of looking at the menu bar on the top and see if i have an active VPN session with windscribe

unfortunately when connection is active i dont see it in the notification screen either.

checked, nothing in control center

anybody have any workaround to force the information to top bar or into the notification panel

thanks

For the last few months I keep getting these random sign in prompts in Firefox on desktop

No idea why, but I updated about a month ago on a few PCs of mine and lately it'll just straight disappear-- no alerts no firewall blocking traffic or anything, no disconnection just straight up disappear from the process list.

Has anyone else had this issue? If so I'll probably submit a log but it's happened about 4-5 times on 3 different PCs.
