I was just curious about this because I haven’t seen anything on this community, and I don’t want to get in trouble with my ISP since it’s the only reliable one in my area. If so, is it exclusively the paid tiers, or free tiers too?

    I have no experience with Windscribe other than that I recall looking into them when I was personally looking to replace Mullvad.

    All I can offer is that their pricing is pretty much on par with ProtonVPN, who I have found to be very solid.

    Proton also has a free tier, though I’m not sure how well P2P works on it.

    I would recommend ProtonVPN, Windscribe is kinda predatory in their pricing and I don’t appreciate it

      I find their pricing to be rather reasonable. They even have a lifetime plan.

    I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they’d gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬

    They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that
