Windscribe is a Canadian VPN with a free tier that is large enough to be useful, plus split tunneling and a firewall in the app. They publish transparency reports. The tone of the marketing is jokes. The settings screen is not a joke. There are a lot of switches.
Free locations are a subset, and free bandwidth is capped. Canada is in the Five Eyes. A transparency report is how you check what a warrant produced last year, not a promise about next year. The build-a-plan pricing can be cheaper than Mullvad or IVPN if you turn off what you do not need. Read the no-logs page once before you rely on the free servers for anything sensitive.
Use it to learn what a VPN client can do. Do not assume the funny site means a smaller log. windscribe.com
Windscribe’s firewall and split tunnel are the features to learn. Split tunnel is also how you accidentally leave the sensitive app outside the VPN. If you do not understand it, leave it off. The free tier is a fair test of the client. Canada is Five Eyes. Read the latest transparency report, not a 2019 blog, before you put a source’s traffic on the free servers.
