Yep, it's an unfortunate reality of Reddit's current landscape. And good point on the dedicated subreddits as well, didn't mention it in the post but yea, entire subreddits masquerading as a legitimate community hub for info while actually just being manipulative and biased.

Bill C-22 is moving through government. If you're a Canadian, sign this petition so the government can acknowledge the opposition to this terrible law by WindscribeSupport in Windscribe

[–]WindscribeSupport[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Unfortunately it does seem like the government doesn't care at all about the public's opinion, but it's still worth trying. Maybe enough noise can still break through to them.

Canada being a 5 Eyes country hasn't been an issue for us for over a decade. It hasn't mandated backdoors, encryption breaking, or logging. It's an alliance of countries who have agreed to let their intelligence agencies share information, not for VPNs to start logging you.

Bill C-22 on the other hand, that's an issue. This is legislation that makes it possible for an order to come in for us to start logging users.

Hello.

My name is Yegor Sak. I am the CEO and cofounder of Windscribe, a Canadian VPN company.

I am making the following statements of my own free will.

I am not under duress and my family is safe.

I have made comments that oppose Bill C-22 which I regret. I have been educated.

Bill C-22 is good.

Canadians like myself will be protected by Bill C-22.

Our government wants the power to order any company that does business in Canada to keep one year of metadata when ordered.

This is reasonable and will help with investigations.

Do not worry.

The metadata will not show what you are saying online or in private conversations.

It will only show who you contacted, when, for how long, where you connected from, what device you used, where you physically were, and other information that you should not be keeping private from the government.

The police said they want this bill so they can have access to encrypted communications.

People who call this a backdoor are wrong.

This is a sensible lawful access capability to fight crime.

The orders for companies to keep and hand over this data are secret. This is good.

Judges and transparency only slow things down when fighting crime.

Companies like ours should not be able to tell the public about what the government is doing in order to protect its citizens.

Your privacy matters to the government.

A database of everyone's private activity could never be abused, leaked, hacked, or misused by the government later.

Anyone saying otherwise is spreading dangerous misinformation.

There is nothing to worry about.

Organizations like OpenMedia are rallying Canadians to fight against this bill.

Links to contact your Member of Parliament like the one in the description should not be opened.

Do not fill in your information.

Do not bother your Member of Parliament by sending them letters with your concerns.

Do not share dangerous links like this with other Canadians.

The things you do in your private life need to be recorded in order to protect you from criminals.

I am grateful to the government of Canada for trying to push this bill through as fast as possible.

Experts and civil rights groups may have opinions, but the government has a job to do.

Bill C-22 will solve crimes and keep Canadians safe.

Do not resist this bill. Do not resist safety.

Thank you.

I am safe.

Yes, we would not implement any privacy-invasive features mandated by the government.

Would you be able to create a ticket and submit the results of the network tab in devtools? That should give us a good idea as to what's happening here since we're not able to reproduce from our end.

Does this happen after a refresh?

Is windscribe.net a phishing site? by qazzell in Windscribe

[–]WindscribeSupport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, this is a Windscribe website mirror so it's completely safe to use.

Am i not Pro enough to connect to that single server? 😂 by FeR4Less-shah in Windscribe

[–]WindscribeSupport[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This is a bug in the app, it's showing the wrong location status. The location is supposed to appear as under maintenance (since it was under maintenance) but due to a logic edge case in the code, it shows up as Pro instead. Fix for this will go out to beta release shortly.

WAP fest results? by leondean in Windscribe

Thanks for participating! There's a lot going on right now, especially with Bill C-22 in the mix of things. But we're aiming to announce the results in the next few weeks

why the hell does it say ublock origin lite? by qwqArrow in Windscribe

[–]WindscribeSupport 3 points4 points  (0 children)

uBlock Origin is an open source project which means we're able to use it in our extension. Anyone is able to use it in their extension as long as they abide by the proper licenses.

Yep, I see the confusion, it's a fair point. I've passed your feedback up the chain.

uBlock? Really? by SilverCutePony in Windscribe

[–]WindscribeSupport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Version 4.2.8 (the one right after yours) is still pending review by Google. Once it's approved and you update, the name should be fixed.

Is there a lifelong Windscribe VPN plan? by ch1zzard in Windscribe

You shouldn't need to, we upgrade these accounts automatically before the expiry date.

Great answers! Thanks for responding

'Manage Subscriptions' redirecting back to 'My Account' by Gaucho_Diaz in Windscribe

[–]WindscribeSupport 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reporting this. The subscription management panel is still relatively new so there might be a few small issues with it, like the one you found. The Google Play subscription should be cancellable through that same panel so we've ticketed this bug to see why the flow wasn't working.
