I am also interested in the Lemmy opinion of windscribe. My wife really likes them but their app used to brick my computer requiring a hard reset so I don't use them.
I tried it for awhile. Speed was good, unfortunately for my use case had some show stoppers.
Pros:
-It worked good on Linux.
-Custom pricing plans (you can pick exactly which nodes you need and only pay for those) available month-to-month, makes it easy to try
Cons:
-Android app couldn't remain connected as I move from mesh WiFi pod to pod. It would think its connected still but I would have no internet connectivity until I manually reconnected the app. (Everytime I crossed my house I would have to manually reconnect).
-No port forwarding (torrents)
Ended up switching to airvpn. Use "openVPN for Android" which handles the mesh pods, and openvpn on Linux as well. Works perfectly.
Port forwarding is available with Windscribe. A temporary, resetable one is included in pro plans. Permanent port forwarding is available for additional costs
