Use code and apply at Claim Voucher to get 50GB .. Enjoy :)
Also.. Feel free to use below referral links (mine or others) to get another 1GB so total would be 51 GB for new accounts ;-) . Also update your referral code heretoo to get further benefits

& Can create couple of more account to have 50GB on each account.. - few users tried and worked to have more GBs :)

NOTE : This will override any other offer which is present in your account. e.g if you already have 60GB/month, then you will lose your 60GB and account will show only 50GB.

FYI existing users gets 10GB .. Login and go to Account.. click Claim Voucher and apply code.

New Users - Make sure you confirm your email address to avail this ( so that they can send ads/promotions - thats the catch I believe)

Update from jelko : I signed up as a new user (got 2GB), applied the code and it was upgraded to 10GB. Then I entered the code again and it was upgraded to 50GB

I got mine upgraded from 10GB to 50GB/ month for free :D

Screenshot

Update (24/04/18): You can still get 10GB free but the upgrade to 50GB code has expired.

Referral Links

Referral: random (190)

Both referrer and referee get extra 1GB/month. Referrer gets Pro upgrade after referee upgrades.

    every month 50GB free.. what's the catch?

      Keep your subscription active to get the 50GB permanently & receive advertising/promotion email regularly ;-)
      Thats the catch i guess

        Yes you get spammed by advertising emails.

          The only email I ever get from them on my free account is the one telling me the data quota has been reset every month.

          From memory there have been two others, a link you could give out that you could earn credits by using machines for crypto-mining, (via JavaScript), and the other was so long ago I've forgotten it.

          Apart from the above crypto-mining affiliate thing, I get nothing from them on my paid account.

    First time using what appears to be a "proper" VPN.

      The browser extension will only apply to what you do inside your browser, while the Windows app will apply to everything you do on your PC.

    I needed to apply the code twice. I signed up as a new user (got 2GB), applied the code and it was upgraded to 10GB. Then I entered the code again and it was upgraded to 50GB.

    Can this one do American Netflix?

    • alaric on 21/04/2018 - 19:53

      The last I checked, it didn't work for free subscribers.

    • Planky on 21/04/2018 - 20:56

      Yes, they have a location called WINDFLEX US which you can connect via to get Netflix US.

      • serpserpserp on 21/04/2018 - 20:57

        Is that for free accounts?

        • Planky on 21/04/2018 - 21:05

          Unfortunately no, as others mentioned you have to upgrade to a pro account.

      • serpserpserp on 21/04/2018 - 20:57

        Is that for free accounts?

      • ozzpete on 21/04/2018 - 23:08

        Does anything work properly and consistently for netflix US , I thought everything was getting shut down or blocked quickly by netflix. Maybe netflix have stopped chasing the VPN providers so much nowdays ?

        • Planky on 22/04/2018 - 07:57
          +1

          I haven't had any issues with it in the four months been using them.

          It's only when I connect via the wrong location does Netflix error.

        • ozzpete on 22/04/2018 - 10:18

          @Planky: Thanks very much for the info. Do you mind me asking, which provider you are getting US netflix through?, ie. Is it the Winflix or some other paid VPN.

        • Planky on 22/04/2018 - 10:23

    Thanks OP. Was quick and easy to setup account. However, how does this compare with tunnel-bear ? I already have tunnel bear free VPN, should i switch to using windscribe for some reason .

    • splats on 22/04/2018 - 15:07

      I have a 'lifetime pro' with them. The windflixus and windflixuk work perfectly. Can't use it for netflix in any other country though.
      The main reason I got it was for nz tv but it does not work as the nz stations pick up that I am using a vpn. Spoke to someone at windscreen and they were helpful and setup their own account to try and reckoned the nz tv providers may be using a similar tech to netflix to prevent overseas viewing.

      My previous tunnel bear free account never had a problem with nz. Go figure.

    Is there a secret? Otherwise its a neg.

    • Being Askhole on 21/04/2018 - 20:55

      it shouldn't be.. make sure you confirm your email address before using code if you created new account .
      OR try different browser

    • ozzpete on 21/04/2018 - 21:41

      I kept on getting same issue with trying to click 'claim voucher' in android app. I just went back on a browser, selected login, then clicked 'claim voucher' on browser while logged in. Worked fine then. There is definitely an issue there with windscribe android app, where 'claim voucher' button of app just takes you to the top of screen as mentioned.

    I used to have Windscribe VPN but then it started doing weird things, e.g the firewall built into their program began to block all internet traffic. Once I uninstalled their program, everything went back to normal.
    Not sure, if there are any settings I should've changed.
    Don't have any of the above issues with VPN Unlimited.

      This is what they say when you try and unsubscribe to their marketing email…

      By unsubscribing your free account will revert to the most basic plan, which has just 2GB of data per month.

      Why is it like this?
      Normally we provide 2GB of data to free users. The reason why we give 10GB when you provide a confirmed email address is so we can send you Windscribe related promotional emails and try to convert you to a Pro user, since we're a business and that's the only way we can pay for servers and staff salaries. If you don't wish to upgrade, and don't want to receive our emails (0-2 per month), you can use the basic 2GB account.

      Unsubscribe Me Anyway

  • epic on 21/04/2018 - 23:06

    Watch out, the government will soon come after you for using a VPN. "Good citizens have nothing to hide. I wonder how long until our totalitarian nanny state forces VPN providers to put backdoors into their services allowing unlimited government snooping? They announced their intentiont to crack down on on VPNs several months ago, ludicrously claiming that VPNs and encryption are used predominantly by criminals and terrorists.

    The only difference between Australia and Communist China, is that the Chinese government is honest and doesn't attempt to hide it's authoritarian nature.

    Is this VPN company trustable? Why do you people just load the software on your computer without asking questions? A piece of software is loaded, you hand over your computer control. You route your communication through the VPN server, you have better be sure that's not a trap.

Been with windscribe for just over 1 month now and I think it is great. Personally I think it's better than cyberghost and miles better than PIA. There has been some reviews of speed issues with some people but I have not experienced any.
