Opinions on Windscribe VPN?

Yes this is the only provider which offer :

  • XMR payment (unlike Proton)
  • port forwarding (unlike the three current recommendations)
  • dedicated IPs
  • bigger network than Mullvad and IVPN (including more countries in Africa and LATAM which isn’t that common)
  • open-sourced all apps, have an audit
  • a good linux app (unlike Proton)
  • is transparent
  • does not require email (unlike Proton)
  • 100% RAM-only nodes (what about IVPN Mullvad and Proton?)
  • has a censorship circumvention feature that seems to be one of the best, and a decoy traffic feature on Android (like Mullvad).
  • not VC-funded (fully independent)
  • Honest marketing
  • Good guides about privacy for the end-user, about VPNs and the industry.
  • Not as blacklisted as IVPN, in my experience.

It don’t has double-hop for mobile though, nor quantum-resistant encryption (they are “in the process of beefing up our KEM (Key Encapsulation Mechanism) in TLS and OpenVPN protocols.”) however.

I think they should be added because they really try hard to get around censorship.
