   You will generally face this issue both on premium and free servers. So before purchasing Windscribe, you must definitely look at this point seriously.

2. Limited customer support facilities

   In order to make any service successful, it is very essential to have proper customer support. But unfortunately, Windscribe is lagging behind in this department as they only offer a ticket based support system which almost takes 24 hours to solve a particular problem.

   Although it also contains a chatbot named Garry, but people often want a real human to answer their questions which is possible in Windscribe only by raising tickets, however, it takes nearly 24hrs which is a serious issue.

3. Canada based company

   Although this company claims that it does not keep any working logs behind, but if a Canadian agency puts pressure on Windscribe they are bound to give all your secret information to the agency and hence you must consider this point before subscribing it.
