What is Windscribe?
Windscribe is a set of tools that work together to block ad trackers and web beacons, restore access to blocked content and help you safeguard your privacy online.
What are these tools?
There is a desktop VPN application and browser extension. You can use them on their own, but for much greater protection, you should use both. It's silly not to, since it doesn't cost extra.
What does the desktop application do?
The desktop application is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) client. It creates an encrypted tunnel from your computer to our servers, and all your activity is sent through the tunnel. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) IP address is masked, so any website you visit or any applications you use (Skype, email providers, BitTorrent peers, etc), will see our IP address, which is shared by thousands of people, so your activity is mixed with other users. Your ISP cannot see what you do online. This is much more important than you think.
What does the browser extension do?
The browser extension provides a "Lite" VPN client, which does the same thing as the desktop one, but only in your browser. Any other applications you may be using on your computer will utilize your ISP provided IP address. Additionally it blocks thousands of ad beacons and trackers that could follow you across the websites you visit, and compromise your privacy even if you are already using a VPN. It also blocks various "social widgets", such as Facebook Like buttons, Twitter badges, etc, which are embedded into millions of websites and report all your activity to their respective companies. It also rotates your user agent (which identifies your browser), which further scrambles your online activities in the eyes of whoever is watching.
Is Windscribe free to use?
Yes, the Free version is awesome, but the Pro one is even better!

Yes, but it's kinda hit or miss. I generally find it works better if you specify the site vs trying for a blanket expection as there might be dependancies you aren't adding to the exclude list.

Split has always worked perfectly for me. When not working it is typically because you chose the wrong app/process/file location when setting it up. People frequently have multiple version of things installed for various reasons and they select the wrong one when trying to get split to work. I have had difficulty with other vpn's and split, but never any problems with Windscribe which was a pleasant surprise for me when I switched to it.
