Any update if windscribe will continue to give services in India ? Iirc windscribe didn’t log user activity
Talking to Garry says there’s no update as of now but I just wanna know what the community thinks of this
Windscribe will continue the India location as long as they can run it log free or till their server host kills that location as much as I know.
the comment Regarding india servers can be found here

Are there other locations with cancelled VPN service?
No more scammers let’s go !
I will fight for Pakistan when I grow up !
graaaaapee
Last I checked on their blog or somewhere here in this sub, it was mentioned that they will continue to operate in India as long as they are physically kicked out and ofcourse not comply with logging of user data.
I thought that law was requiring VPN servers physically in India to log.
Yep inside of india , WIndscribe still runs servers in India Log free till today and so far no end in sight.
How is India going to require a Swedish or Swiss or USA company to collect logs on servers physically outside India? Wishful thinking?
they cant , but they could ban windscribe in india and try to block them if they (india ) go stubborn ( as in the country in this case India ).
continue to operate in India as long as they are physically kicked out and ofcourse not comply with logging of user data.
Definitely what windscribe reply’s lol .
could you link the blog if possible
And then so what?
Ask that these weird censorship governments it wont help them much.
Stubborn? Like you really think any big VPN provider would give in?
No , i never said that , they would simply stop offering India locations ( as in the VPN company ) and most providers would still accept Indian customers, some ( like avast ) stop Indian support and customers entirely.
It would tank their business world-wide.
Exactly.
W decision, I remember getting a message from windscribe stating that they won’t be shutting nor complying with those laws but there was never any other update on that afterwards thus I thought of asking it in case I missed something
Yes you are absolutely right to keep checking on this, I myself do check on this time to time especially Windscribes transparency reports.
the CERT IN law did nothing but made providers pull out their servers from India. Most of us sstayed or migrated to different vpn providers with strict no log policy and some ofcourse stayed with the one who complies with the law. The law was passed to remediate the “bad actors” from staying anonymous but this just increases more censorship.
Heck, few months ago it was also heard to block Proton country wide for that false “Alarming” mail as Proton Didn’t comply with the indian request and asked them to go through Swiss Courts to get the data which ofcourse our elected individuals didn’t go through.
A sad thing though the current state of actual threats vs apparent threats in our country.
Lol apologies, I started to rant a bit.
Anyways, good luck on your privacy journey!

Our lazy Babus (bureaucrats) didn’t cared enough all they mean is on paper success regardless of the faction they belong to I would have supported these laws in case they were actively having a watch on bad elements which they lack, smh
