Hi folks, we wanted to update the community that Obscura is now available on Windows. We currently support Windows 11 and Windows 10 21H1+.

Also: every user now gets 5 simultaneous device connections (up from 3 before).

Native Linux apps are also currently in development

Hi Carl “Big Dong” Dong, moving forward, will new features be released to all stable platforms simultaneously, or when the respective devs get are able to implement them? E.g., split tunnelling, “pause” mode, potentially other future stuff like full DAITA. Obviously networking is different on every OS, so I’m wondering how you will handle updating the clients over time, since lately it seems like the iOS, macOS, and Android clients all pretty much release around the same time.

When I first logged into the windows app, I connected to Proton VPN and logged in, but an error occurred. Will this error be fixed in the future?

I think it all depends on if there are platform-specific parts of the feature, so we’ll have to do them case-by-case, but whenever possible we try to release features all in one go!

Yeah we just have the same version number for each, though features may be implemented platform-by-platform as needed!

Oh you can’t use Obscura _with_ another VPN, that’s a fundamental conflict in the networking stack I think. So you’d have to turn Proton VPN off to use Obscura.

We should probably add a clearer error message for that though. Feel free to send a screenshot of what you see here, and we’ll get right on it! CC @davidcollini

Got it, I’ll send the message. Are there any privacy technologies that Obscura VPN is researching or planning to implement next?

Mostly focused on Linux and split-tunneling next!

It is a cool update. Still waiting for feature that selected specific entry and exit server (not countries such as exit with servers of Mullvad owner with 31173 provider).

Dear @davidcollini and @obscuracarl ,

I see that “We’re offering 25% off to all users with code **`WINDOWS26`** ” . I would like to ask that discount forever (look like early subscription users with $6/month) or just discount for first payment? I am considering about the cost.

Waiting for your feedback.

Thanks,

Dear @curious.fuel96 ,

Thank you for your feedback. I does not see that information on the post of Obscura. Could you help me to give the link that say about 12 months discount? That will help me to get clear and more information.

Thanks,

Wow. A big update from 3 to 5 simultaneous device connections. But with me or someones the prices is consider with others such as NymVPN that is up to 5 hops with 5 differences provider ( including personal or sponsor nodes).

Ah we should probably be clearer in our announcement post, but our systems always show the accurate terms at checkout time.

Here’s how the voucher works:

- **If you subscribe** : the voucher is 25% off for 12 months, see screenshot:

We’ve just been defaulting to a selection of exit nodes that we believe to have better IP reputation, though that’s always a moving target :sweat_smile: Will let you know when we have selection.
