Daily Deal: Windscribe VPN Lifetime Subscription
from the good-deals-on-cool-stuff dept
Windscribe is much more than a VPN. It’s a desktop application and browser extension that work in conjunction to protect your online privacy, unblock websites, and remove ads and trackers from your everyday browsing. With Windscribe, you’ll never mess with confusing settings and options menus again; just turn it on on your desktop once, and it’s good to go in the background forever. It is available for $39 from the Techdirt Deals Store.
Note: The Techdirt Deals Store is powered and curated by StackCommerce. A portion of all sales from Techdirt Deals helps support Techdirt. The products featured do not reflect endorsements by our editorial team.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Techdirt freqently advertises poor quality vpn's.
You inherently place alot of trust in your vpn provider- there's really no avoiding that. -Some of the better vpn companies go out of there way to not just eliminate all logging, but to obfuscate routing, secure DNS, and deliberately NOT create any links between Payment/id and Network/id. The best companies also post/link all the software source code and server settings they're using- there's no secret sauce to this, anyone claiming otherwise is selling snake oil. -In the end you're still taking whatever company you use at their word that they do what they say they do; there's only so much you can check. Do proper research before signing up for anyhting.
Here's a good research tool for anyone interested.
