Windscribe VPN is a privacy-focused VPN app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, built by Windscribe Limited, an independently owned company founded in 2016 and based in Toronto, Canada. Windscribe encrypts your traffic, replaces your IP address with one from 69+ countries, and unblocks sites and streaming libraries restricted in your region. WHO WINDSCRIBE IS FOR • Travellers who need a home-country IP abroad, or a US IP from anywhere. • Anyone using public Wi-Fi in airports, hotels or cafes. • Streamers who want Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, ESPN+, Sling TV, BBC iPlayer, DAZN and FuboTV from other countries. • Students and staff on restrictive networks, where Stealth and Wstunnel work when standard VPN traffic is blocked. • People who want a free VPN with no credit card, no ads and no email required to sign up. FREE VS PRO Starter (free): 10 GB of data per month and servers in 10 countries (US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Romania and Hong Kong), with AES-256 encryption, kill switch and the full ad and tracker blocker. No credit card. No ads. No email required. P2P and port forwarding are not included. Pro (paid): unlimited data, 69+ countries, P2P file sharing without throttling, and port forwarding for game servers and remote device access. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS • Protocols: WireGuard, OpenVPN UDP, OpenVPN TCP, IKEv2, Stealth, Wstunnel. • Encryption: AES-256 with Perfect Forward Secrecy. Post-quantum encryption on WireGuard protects today's traffic from future decryption. • 10 Gbps server ports for 4K streaming, large downloads and low-latency gaming. • DNS leak protection and an always-on kill switch that cuts all traffic if the tunnel drops. • R.O.B.E.R.T.: a configurable DNS-level blocker for ads, trackers, malware and phishing domains. • Speed: TechRadar's April 2026 tests ranked Windscribe the fastest free VPN (1,594 Mbps on WireGuard) and third fastest paid VPN overall (2,263 Mbps). WHAT WINDSCRIBE STORES Windscribe does not log your IP address, browsing history, DNS queries, connection timestamps or traffic. It stores three non-identifying data points: date last used, bandwidth used in the last 30 days, and activated app versions. INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION • Court-tested: on 11 April 2025 a court in Athens, Greece dismissed criminal charges against Windscribe co-founder Yegor Sak. Windscribe had no user data to hand over; the no-logs policy held as a legal defence. • Infrastructure audit: PacketLabs audited the server stack in June 2024, covering 20 repositories and roughly 80,000 lines of code, plus pen testing. • Open source: the full iOS app source code is published at github.com/Windscribe/iOS-App. • Transparency report: every DMCA and law enforcement request is published in real time. • PCMag Editors' Choice, rated 4.5 out of 5, August 2025.

MANAGE PROJECTS WITH PROVEN METHODS PMKit gives you the methods to make your case, and the metrics to prove it. Every method here is one that professionals rely on, and every answer is one you can explain to anyone. THE METHODS, IN THE ORDER A PROJECT NEEDS THEM Stakeholder Management Power/Interest Grid RACI Matrix Prioritization and Decision Making RICE Score Weighted Decision Matrix ICE Score Eisenhower Matrix Schedule Management PERT Estimate Critical Path Method Monte Carlo Simulation Risk Management Pre-mortem Analysis Risk Matrix Expected Monetary Value Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Project Governance and Control Project Charter Earned Value Analysis Lessons Learned Register Strategic Analysis SWOT Analysis PESTLE Analysis Root Cause Analysis 5 Whys Pareto Analysis EVERY ANSWER EXPLAINS ITSELF A number never arrives on its own. Each result is read back to you in plain language, and every term a method asks for is explained behind the question mark beside it. Guide holds an offline article for each method: what it is for, when to use it, its formula, a worked example and the mistakes people make. YOUR WHOLE PROJECT, IN ONE REPORT A project holds as many analyses as it needs, each named for its purpose. Export any one of them as PDF, Markdown or CSV, or bring the whole project into a single report, choosing which analyses go in and in what order. Your name and your note sit in the footer, so the document that reaches the room is your work. START WITH SOMETHING REAL Three example projects come with the app. CRM Rollout runs every method over one programme, so the risk register, the root cause, the reserve and the forecast all describe the same story. Office Relocation and Annual Customer Conference are smaller and deliberately different. Edit or delete any of them. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account and no sign in. PMKit works without a connection, and your data stays on your device. You can save a backup file and restore it any time. FREE TO READ, SUBSCRIPTION TO CREATE Reading costs nothing. The example projects, everything in them and every Guide article are free to read and to export. Creating and editing your own analyses needs a PMKit subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PMKit at daily against VPN Windscribe's every 3 weeks. VPN Windscribe's advantage is chart position (#75 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
