I was just curious about this because I haven’t seen anything on this community, and I don’t want to get in trouble with my ISP since it’s the only reliable one in my area. If so, is it exclusively the paid tiers, or free tiers too?

    Windscribe had in my opinion always had a great level of transparency as well as the funniest marketing by miles!! Seriously check out their YT videos. While I don’t have a VPN at the moment I would definitely recommend Windscribe to people who ask.

    I have a lifetime subscription I’ve been using and have no complaints. I don’t torrent frequently (once a month or so) and haven’t had any issues from my isp.

    The bar for torrenting is super low. If all you want to do is avoid DMCA notices pretty much any VPN will do as long as you bind it to your torrent client.

    In terms of Windscribe they have become a much more respectable VPN if you also want some privacy protections and DNS protections but there are better options.

    They used to be a bottom dweller VPN selling off lifetime memberships for $30 in the mid 2000s but have really become a strong privacy advocate over the last few years.
