A “Top 5” VPN was stealing from us, so we turned it into a giveaway

We Caught Them Jet-Handed

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well, we sincerely disagree. We've got rent to pay and the landlord wasn't too happy the last time we wrote him a flattery cheque.

Right now, the 5th most popular free app in the Google Play Store is a very well-known, super popular VPN called Jet VPN - beating out the likes of WhatsApp and Instagram in the rankings.

Oh, you've never heard of it? Well, neither did we so don't worry, you're not out of touch, this isn't like those Skibidi Ohio Rizz TikToks that all the kids are raving about.

We were intrigued, so we looked into Jet VPN. Turns out, it's a scam. And even worse, they stole from us.

You want the details? We made a quick 2-minute YouTube video about this ordeal, where we're also hosting a giveaway for Windscribe Pro. Read below for the steps to enter.

Canamurica Day is Back! And so is your chance at Lifetime Pro!

Freedomania 4eva!

Canamurica Day is back, you beautiful babies! Today we celebrate the birthdays of two of the greatest – and definitely the only two – nations in North America: the United States and Canada. The combination of the soaring eagle, and the mighty moose, these two global powerhouses have brought the world so much: the lightbulb, large scale white collar crime that defrauds pensioners, Cheez Whiz, Florida, and the Liver King. Wait, those are all U.S. contributions. We Canadians brought you basketball, Ted Cruz, maple syrup and the Wonderbra. Tomato, to-mah-to.

Jokes aside, for all of our faults, we are pretty great nations filled with a hilarious amalgam of people. And as a token of our love for each other, and the world as a whole we're launching the greatest contest ever created. It combines the two most important Canamerican loves: free prizes and laughing at stupid shit...

How To Win Free Stuff

Here's the deal: you help us create designs for our swag store and we give you sick prizes like free Lifetime Windscribe Pro, Steam gift cards, Discord Nitro, gentle kisses that scratch slightly because we haven't shaved in weeks, and free merch!

Click here for Contest Rules and Requirements

Enter the contest on:

• Reddit - Click here to enter
• Discord - Click here to enter
• X - Click here to enter

Winning submissions will be featured on the Windscribe Swag Store, giving you the opportunity to make the whole world recognize your genius. Then you can screencap it and put it on your Tinder profile and pick up a VPN loving mate, or a real All-American alpha-dawg/self-described tier-one operator-hero that's "fluent in sarcasm" and screams in their sleep. Ah, l'amour!

Peace and love,
The Windscribe Syndicate (damn, that sounds so awesome and cool)

Our CEO Almost Got Jailed, So We Made a Shirt!

Our Big Fat Greek Case

Instead of filing a data request like normal people (which we cannot comply with), the Greek authorities took time out of their busy days of not paying taxes and pretending they invented everything to press criminal charges against our CEO, Yegor. The charge? Read the blog post for details like a legal scholar.

After two years of courtroom battles, a small fortune, and biting our nails until we chewed off our fingers, the case was thrown out of court like a week-old spanakopita! No logs = no evidence. Privacy wins, and so does the sanctity of Yegor's tight little butthole body. He's too pretty for jail.

Read All About Windscribe's Legal Saga

Buy A Shirt, Save a Yegor

Just like an IMF bailout, we need help paying off these court costs - so we made a super-sick-awesome limited edition t-shirt to commemorate this Odyssean courtroom drama. All proceeds of the shirt will go towards making our holes whole again!

This isn't just a shirt. It's a flag. A statement. A write-off... probably.

Also available in our incredible Windscribe Swag shop:

• Mugs - To pee in and pretend it's lemonade
• Stickers - To use as bandages in battle
• More T-shirts - You always need t-shirts, right?

We’re 9! R. Kelly just lost interest. (Plus, a sale!)

A Very Windy Anniversary

Windscribe has a modest history. In 2016 we used the money we made being door-to-door knife salespeople and invested the proceeds to start a humble little VPN company with one mission in mind: protecting your entire ass on the internet. The cheek, the meat, and the hole.

9 years old, but feels like forever. Take a look back at the History of Windscribe.

Nine years have passed since then and we've matured considerably. We no longer cry watching Filipino Big Brother, we've officially stopped using gummy bears as our primary source of nutrition, and now we use terms like "bruh" and "no cap" - and people can't slap us cause we're only 9! We've also grown by leaps and bounds, so our insane antics now reach nearly 90 million users! Don't believe we're nuts? Watch the video we made...

Sale Time

Y'all know a Windscribe celebration ain't shit without a fat celebratory sale. So buckle up, cause you're about to save more money than DOGE claims it has... 1 year of Windscribe Pro for $29 shmackaroos! That's only $2.41 USD or 23.4 million Canadian monopoly dollars a month! Get unlimited servers and bandwidth and unleash a torrent of downloads!

Get Windscribe Pro for $29/year

Thank you all for using Windscribe, it means the world to us that a bunch of former knife salespeople can now help the world access information without censorship. And it's all because of you.

Love,
Team Windscribe

Important Announcement About Your Data

Important Announcement

We promised you all that we will never spend money on external advertisers, and we are sticking with that. However, we need to increase revenue, and that requires some out of the box thinking. We didn't just think outside of the box, we burned the box up and snorted the ashes. In the resulting euphoria, we decided to skip the middle man (the advertisers) and just sell you your own data back to you.

If you want a detailed look at all of your personal data, simply click the link below and download it in a convenient text format. The data dump is free for the next week, so grab it now. Don't worry, by using this link, only you will be able to see your data. It isn't available to anyone else, not even Jesus.

Stay safe,

Yegor Sak, Founder and CEO
