I absolutely agree (in addition to trust, privacy and security, pricing, speed, and reliability are important factors for me also, as well as Linux compatibility)

Call me a cheapskate but I see ~$5-6 a month _upper limit_ of what I’m willing to pay for a VPN at this time.

Windscribe may be listed in the future, there is an [open pull request](https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/1312) but it has beel stalled for over a year, it seems the main blockers are (were?) audits and open sourcing the iOS client.
