Windscribe promises users in Iran and Russia "solutions" to ongoing VPN crackdown — here's everything we know

• Windscribe is working on solutions to VPN connectivity in Iran and Russia
• Expanding support for the AmneziaWG protocol is its "highest priority"
• Iran and Russia are moving to a whitelisting system that further targets VPN

Windscribe has announced new censorship-resistant features to support people in Russia and Iran struggling to use its service.

The VPN provider confirmed to TechRadar that it's rolling out support for the AmneziaWG protocol directly into Windscribe apps. That's a technology designed to bypass sophisticated Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) techniques by mimicking ordinary web traffic.

In a message shared on its Telegram, Reddit, and X accounts between Wednesday and Thursday, Windscribe reassured its community: "We are aware of the ongoing VPN connection issues in Iran and Russia and are working on solutions."
