Take that with a grain of salt or not, but if you don't find them on the rating sites for "top VPNs of 2020, 2021, 2022 etc., I can tell you that it's not because they are not worth it.
Before the pandemic I would have to travel to about 9-12 countries per year, and Windscribe never let me down. Easy interface, quick and stable connection, and also no logs being kept.
I was lucky to get a lifetime a few years ago, and they have been getting better and better. Since that's not being offered anymore, this is a great deal imho.
Windscribe has worked great for me when I was in China and in Russia.

Is Windscribe just as good?
Is Windscribe just as good?
I very much want a VPN (not for downloading anything but solely to be able to browse/read freely without fear). As I mentioned earlier, and nobody replied that they encountered the same problem, on the PC I've used I've had unreliable connections with every VPN I've used. Sometimes they would work for some number of minutes but typically lose connection or the DNS lookup wouldn't work. I'm not smart enough to diagnose it on my own... yet.
So I asked a group of people I game with (about a dozen) if any of them use VPNs. They all said NO (except as required to by working remotely from home) and many are tech savvy. I guess VPN usage is still a relatively small group. I'm going to keep trying to solve my VPN problems with my next attempt to install Windscribe on a different PC just to see if the same problems occur. Unfortunately with so much going on, I probably won't figure it out before this sale is over, so I'll have to wait for the next VPN on sale. All I know is I'm not paying for any VPN until I can get a free/trial version to work. I'm not talking about speeds but simply being able to browse the web with pages loading in a reasonable time. Unfortunately networking, especially on Windows 10, is so complicated with all these different layers and adapters with so many settings I don't understand. When the VPN is connected and misbehaving, I can ping from a CMD prompt and ipconfig /all looks OK to my novice eyes, but I can't load any web pages in any browser without some sort of a timeout or DNS error. I'm beginning to think I'm the only person in the world with a VPN issue given the total lack of posts by anyone having any problems.
