On matters like VPN providers, DNS providers, and similar topics, often one would like to find websites with recommendations and reviews from other people, especially testers or "experts". But it's SO difficult to find trustworthy websites! The vast majority appearing on searchers are clearly built by untrustworthy parties, or biased by commissions. A good one is https://www.privacyguides.org/ Do you know of any other good, trustworthy ones?

Opinions will vary. For instance, I've been torrenting with Windscribe with no issues since before that post was made and would still recommend it, so...

Their service was genuinely good for the short time I used it. You'll note in my post that I would still recommend it to anyone who doesn't plan on doing more than average browsing and light torrenting.

They just wanted an excuse to cut me off since I made more use of it than the average person likely does, and their 'unlimited' advertising means you can't actually know what their real limits are.

Someone must have pissed in their cereal that day or something. Just checked my monthly data and it certainly isn't low. Happy the new VPN is working for you though!

With that kind of usage you may get banned so just watch out.

That said, I agree that windscribe is great. If your usage is less than say 10tb per month you're probably fine. I regularly do a couple terabytes and no problems. Plus they have port forwarding, and even port forwarding without a static ip

Absolutely. I've heard other positive user comments on Windscribe.
