Windscribe Desktop provides encrypted VPN connectivity and privacy controls for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It routes internet traffic through selected VPN servers to mask the user's public IP address and secure network connections. Supported protocols include WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2, Stealth, and WSTunnel. A proactive firewall prevents traffic from leaking outside the VPN tunnel during connection interruptions. Split tunneling allows specific applications or networks to bypass the VPN when necessary. Integrated R.O.B.E.R.T. DNS filtering blocks advertisements, trackers, malware domains, and configured websites. Automatic network rules control VPN connection behavior based on the current network. Advanced features include MAC address spoofing, custom DNS settings, imported VPN configurations, and local HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy servers.
