Windscribe VPN is a symbiosis of a VPN client and a "blocker" of advertising for Windows. Encrypts traffic and provides access to "blocked" web resources, regardless of their "regional restrictions". Blocks the transfer of "promotional" data and display ads in browsers.
{extravote}It has three modes of operation - “standard”, “TCP” and “hidden” for bypassing locks “by gateways” and hiding user traffic from the “in-depth analysis” of the network by the provider. Equipped with an integrated Firewall that prevents any data transfer "bypassing" the VPN. Able to run from startup to the "network" driver.
Function Windscribe VPN
- Creates a “tunneled” information gateway protected by AES-256-GCM cryptographic algorithm and uses it to send traffic;
- Encrypts / decrypts outgoing / incoming data packets;
- It scans traffic, identifies “advertising data”, de-anonymization requests ”and malicious data packets, blocks their receipt / sending;
- Migrates the system, browsers and network card to the specified connection method (“standard”, “TCP”, “hidden”), allowing you to bypass the “gateway” and “hide” locks from the deep network scanning from the provider;
- Analyzes the system, disables the transfer of any data "bypassing" the VPN, when the Firewall mode is on;
- It is loaded from autoload before initiating the launch of "network" drivers.
Utility features
- Powerful dual encryption using the AES-256-GCM cryptographic algorithm - when creating an information "tunnel" and with the direct transmission of data packets;
- The ability to block any type of "advertising" traffic even before it is interpreted by browsers;
- TCP mode for bypassing gateway locks;
- “Hidden” mode for “hiding” traffic from deep network scanning by the provider's servers;
- The impossibility of determining the real IP address when the Firewall mode is enabled;
- The presence of the startup function from autoload even before the “start” of the network drivers is useful when infected with viruses that can “uncover” the real IP.
Disadvantages
- Relatively long “rendering” of pages in browsers due to the need for double decryption;
- The “Firewall” function may conflict with the system's Firewall and adversely affect the functionality of network programs (it is treated by rebooting with a preliminary shutdown of the Firewall function);
- Part of the advertisement can not be detected when filtering traffic.
