The lastest update bricked my connection speed. v2.22.9

Today's update has completely bricked by wifi speed. It connects fine. But it's giving me 1/100 the speed or something. Websites won't even load properly with it on. Yt barely works on 114p. Didn't do a direct speed test but dont need to.

Anything so solve this problem?

VPN stopped working after updating the Windows 10 app from v2.22.6-beta to v2.22.9

I'm a paid user from Russia

I updated the app today, and after that, the VPN stopped connecting

I reinstalled the app and reset all settings, but now I can't log in. I get the error "No API Connectivity"

In the Amnezia Config settings, only Z - API Blocked and "Server Routing" are available

I've tried changing the values ​​there, but nothing helps

The internet connection type is PPPoE

Uninstalling the app and installing an older version didn't help

No protocols work on my company network

I'm registered on my company wifi and my laptop mac is registered to allow internet access but none of the protocols/ ports combination work. Even circumvent censorship doesn't. Is there any other way to get this working? Stealth used to work at my old workplace, but the new company uses force point so i had logged in using my mobile hotspot but nothing connects through the vpn.

If nothing works, unfortunately I'll be cancelling my membership at the end of the annual cycle. Thank you in advance for your help !

Cannot connect from PC, but from a Phone it's OK

Hi! I have Windscribe on both Win11 PC and Android cell phone. Today my Windscribe stopped working on the PC. But Windscribe is still working on the cell phone, what is connected to the same router via WiFI. How could that happen?

I tried everything. Updated PC version to v2.22.6 (Beta), restarted my PC. I even tried switching the PC connection from Ethernat cable to WiFi.

Last thing I logged out from my account at the PC version, and now I cannot log in back - it says No API Connectivity. Emergency connect isn't working too.

Any advice? Please.

Keep getting "Proxy Failure" on Firefox Extension

Keep getting "Proxy Failure" on firefox, usually happens when I open a new tab.
Not sure if it matters but I don't change any DNS or proxy settings on Firefox.
I'm mostly connected to the Singapore servers.

Some settings I use for the desktop Windscribe is split tunneling to "Inclusive" and only use it for a couple of programs and apps, and recently I changed the custom DNS to cloudflare 1.1.1.1 in the windscribe app.

Stop apps outside of split tunneling from being disconnected

I play a lot of online only games and whenever the VPN changes states (being turned on or off, changing regions, changing protocols), that affects the games I'm playing, even though they are excluded from Windscribe because of split tunneling. Is there any way I can stop that from happening?

Lifetime Pro plan purchased in 2016 still going strong!

I bought a lifetime Pro plan for $37.50 back in 2016, when Windscribe just got started. It's still going strong. It had an expiration date in 2026, but that was as expected. It recently auto-renewed till 2036. On to the next ten years!
Just wanted to give a shoutout to Windscribe for honoring this lifetime plan. You guys rock!

When you realize a VPN is basically your personal bodyguard against everyone trying to spy on you

So the MLB TV app (TV and mobile) seems to have blocked most (all) of the US locations

Anyone have a workaround? I'm not very tech savvy but I figured out how to use Windscribe to use with my free MLB TV account from T-Mobile. Now nothing works when I try to use it. Am in missing something? I basically use it to skirt the blackouts. Thanks.

Getting access Denied on certain servers.

I have noticed with windscribe connected and using firefox (all extensions disabled) with a couple of sites I'm getting errors:

https://news.sky.com/

https://www.dailymail.com/home/index.html

This is happening over most UK/NL and some DE servers. It doesn't seem to happen with brave and even sometimes clicking refresh in firefox/waterfox the site then works.

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://news.sky.com/" on this server.

Reference #18.c4a0d517.(the rest redacted)

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.c4a0d517.(the rest redacted)

It's very bizarre. Ive tried with another vpn and the sites works.
