One tap hides your IP address, encrypts your connection and blocks ads and trackers. 110 million+ registered users since 2016, and we've been acquired by exactly nobody. WHAT YOU GET • Hide your IP.

Airport, hotel, coffee shop: your traffic is encrypted before it leaves your phone. Mark a network as Secured and Windscribe turns on automatically every time you join it. • Fewer ads, less tracking. R.O.B.E.R.T., our blocker (yes, he has a name), stops ads, trackers, malware and phishing sites in every app, not just your browser. • Get past blocked networks.

No investors asking us to cash in on your data. PROTOCOLS WireGuard with post-quantum encryption, IKEv2, OpenVPN, and Stealth with AES-256 encryption, plus WStunnel.
