Windscribe's VPN Servers: Choose The Best VPN Location For Your Needs

A VPN server is a remote computer you connect to through an encrypted tunnel. It replaces your IP address with its own, making it look like you’re somewhere else entirely. Kind of like teleportation, but with fewer molecules. A robust server network is a key factor in choosing the best VPN. 

Yes! Windscribe offers free server access in 10 countries, including the US, Canada, UK, and more. No credit card. No strings. Just sign up and go. Upgrade only if you want the full buffet, for as little as $5.75 USD/month or pick a few extra locations and unlimited bandwidth for $3 USD/month.

We have servers in over 85 countries and hundreds of cities, so unless you live in the Mariana Trench, we’ve probably got you covered. All our locations are real, as in physical servers, not figments of our imagination.

Good question! Check out our status page page, for an insider’s view into the speed, functionality, and current network status of each server. 

Every single one of our servers is physically located in the country it claims to be in. No fake GPS coordinates. No pretend “India” server that’s actually sitting in New Jersey. More on that here: Virtual or Physical? Windscribe Has the Most Server Locations

Physical servers = lower latency and better speed. Also, we like to keep it honest: if we say it’s in Tokyo, it’s in Tokyo. Not “Tokyo... adjacent.”

Hell yes. Over 85 locations now support 10 Gbps connections, so you can browse, stream, and torrent like your modem just did a line of caffeine. Details here: Windscribe Server Upgrades – 85 Locations Support 10 Gbps

Use the Windscribe app and pick the server with the lowest latency (ping). Bonus tip: our "Best Location" button will auto-connect you to the fastest option available. Download Windscribe if you don’t already have it on your device.

Almost all Windscribe server locations support P2P activity. But keep an eye out for the few locations that don’t: you will see a little icon of P2P crossed out, indicating you should not torrent when connected to that specific location. For more details, check out our Knowledge Base article on the topic.

Performance can vary based on location, network congestion, and the continent’s general vibe. For best speeds, we recommend trying a server location that you are geographically close to (or choosing ‘Best Location’ inside the Windscribe app). 

Tell us. Yell at us. Tweet at us. We’re constantly expanding based on demand. And unlike some VPNs, we don’t add a “location” just to fluff up the map: if we launch it, it’s real.

Easy. Once you connect to any location in the Windscribe app, your new IP address is shown right on the screen in the app. Or, if you prefer, you can visit our IP Checker page while connected.
