The downside of not adding an email address-other than the 2GB bandwidth limit-is you’ll need to remember your login credentials as there will be no hope of account recovery without an email address.Your Chromebook has built-in support for VPNs that use Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2). If you don’t want the extra bandwidth you don’t have to give Windscribe your email address, but you do need to create an account with a username and password. You can delete cookies automatically when a tab closes, there’s a Do Not Disturb feature for blocking site notifications, WebRTC protection, location spoofing, user agent rotation, GDPR-required cookie notice blocking, and more. Free users can also use Windscribe’s ad-blocking features that includes several helpful additions that are all off by default. Windscribe has 14 virtual locations to choose from, but not any of the Netflix-streaming specialty servers. However, you can get up to 10GB of bandwidth per month by adding an email address to your free account. It wouldn’t be as good for streaming at 1080p or higher-you’d max out your bandwidth in less than an hour. Usage is limited to 2GB per month at first, which is pretty good for everyday web browsing. Plus, an informal look at Windscribe’s speeds since our last review suggests vast improvements. We really like Windscribe, especially as a free service.
