I was just curious about this because I haven’t seen anything on this community, and I don’t want to get in trouble with my ISP since it’s the only reliable one in my area. If so, is it exclusively the paid tiers, or free tiers too?

I have no experience with Windscribe other than that I recall looking into them when I was personally looking to replace Mullvad.
All I can offer is that their pricing is pretty much on par with ProtonVPN, who I have found to be very solid.
Proton also has a free tier, though I’m not sure how well P2P works on it.
Just a note that Proton VPN doesn’t allow P2P on their free plan.
Just curious, why were wanting to replace Mullvad?
They don’t allow port forwarding anymore, if I’m not mistaken
As the other user said, they removed support for port forwarding. They are my #1 pick for anyone where that is not a concern.
Yep, port forwarding is gone. Never used it before but now that I actually need it it’s gone. In other areas I’d say Mullvad is number one for VPNs. Sweden based, great transparency, fair price model and no shady parent companies.
I would recommend ProtonVPN, Windscribe is kinda predatory in their pricing and I don’t appreciate it
I find their pricing to be rather reasonable. They even have a lifetime plan.
I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they’d gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬
They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that
