Yes I have used Windscribe service for six years now. I went a few months with their 10 GB monthly free plan and paid for a year Christmas special and then a 3 year Black Friday special twice. A paid service is better but I still have over a year of time left on the plan and I am not paying for another service. The 'free service' will be OK in my situation. I went to the VPNBook web site and will check that out more. It might be better. I like the one that I mentioned earlier.
My Win 7 notebook still works with the paid service. My time with Win XP is slowly coming to an end anyway. I had four Win XP notebooks in 2010 and now I only have one left ... the best of the four which I rarely used till the last few months. When my paid subscription finally runs out next year, I will just use 'free' service. I have heard from customer service several times but I am not able to connect. They sent this info ... not sure what the 'extension tunnel' is ... might not be for my situation.

Our browser extension tunnels your browser traffic, not your entire device. That means your Chrome (or Firefox, Edge, whatever) traffic goes through Windscribe’s servers, while your other apps (Steam, Netflix app, etc.) use your normal internet.
But it’s not just a mini VPN - it’s loaded with cool features, like:
Ad & tracker blocking (because ads are the fungus of the internet).
WebRTC Slayer - prevents your real IP from leaking.
Time Warp, Location Warp & Language Warp - fakes your timezone, GPS and language to match your connected location.
Cookie Monster & Split Personality - nukes cookies and rotates your browser’s fingerprint so trackers lose you faster than your last ex.
It pairs beautifully with the desktop app for Double Hop, where traffic goes through two separate Windscribe locations for extra privacy.
You can read more about the extension here on our website. (Scroll down until you see it)
You can also get the extension from here:
Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/windscribe-free-proxy-and/hnmpcagpplmpfojmgmnngilcnanddlhb
Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/windscribe/
Edge - https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/windscribe-free-proxy-a/dkkdbpgldnmkhcliffjpajcfdjkcaddf
For windows XP, you can probably get our old MV2 version browser extension to work. But this is not guaranteed.

Maybe some others need a 'free VPN service also so they have this information now.
