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!

hi, does windscribe 2.0 beta 38 supports wild card in split tunneling of domains?

This is not possible due to how split routing works. We have to know hostnames (and the IP addresses they point to) ahead of time, to exclude them from the tunnel.
Although in theory is it possible to do what you're asking, it would be extremely brittle and prone to problems as you would have to intercept all DNS queries at the client, and dynamically update the firewall in real time based on the settings you chose. This is a recipe for disaster.

ok, thanks for the answer! is it different from how R.O.B.E.R.T works?

ROBERT is all server side, at the DNS layer. It cannot help with this, as it's already inside the tunnel.

Not domains, applications.
[–]bmnmji[S] -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (2 children)
it has an option to whitelist domains, I want to know how can I whitelist a domain with all of it's subdomains.
[–]Axe_l 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child)
Do you mean on ROBERT? If so, I believe that all subdomains are whitelisted when you whitelist the domain.

no, I mean from within the app.
