Windscribe
Windscribe is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) client for macOS, Windows, and Linux that encrypts user traffic, masks IP addresses, and provides privacy features including ad and tracker blocking. It is used by individuals seeking online privacy, bypassing regional content restrictions, and securing connections on untrusted networks. Windscribe offers both free and premium subscription tiers, with the free version providing limited bandwidth and server access, and premium accounts unlocking full server access and additional features. The desktop app integrates with the system to manage network traffic routing through Windscribe's VPN servers.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWindscribe has shipped a native Universal Binary build for macOS that supports both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures, and the latest releases now include native Apple Silicon support. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta 2, you should update to the current version from windscribe.com/download to get the native build, which will improve performance and battery life on M-series Macs. The standard installer now detects your Mac's architecture and automatically serves the appropriate native or universal build, so simply downloading and installing the latest version will give you native Apple Silicon support. After installation, your VPN settings, server preferences, and account credentials are preserved automatically.
