**The Struggle is Real: Cancelling Windscribe and Getting Your Money Back**
For those who've had enough of Windscribe's quirky interface choices, swingy download speeds, and awkward design – you're not alone. If you're one of the unlucky ones who felt alienated by this VPN service, cancelling it might seem like a daunting task. Fear not, dear reader, for we've got you covered.
**A Brief Warning**
Before we dive in, keep in mind that Windscribe's money-back guarantee only lasts seven days. If you paid for a subscription, you have to cancel before then to get your money back. It's a tighter period than most VPNs, so be ready to make up your mind fast.
**Stopping Automatic Renewal of Pro Subscription**
To cancel the Pro subscription, simply stop your payment method from automatically renewing for the next subscription period. Once you've done this, you can continue using Windscribe Pro until the end of the current period, then you'll be downgraded to the free version. Here's how:
1. Log in to your account on Windscribe.com.
2. Click "My Account" at the top of the home page.
3. Scroll down to the billing section and click "Cancel Subscription."
4. Enter your password and provide a reason for cancellation (it can be "none" or something more creative).
5. Click "Cancel Subscriptions" to end automatic renewal.
**Deleting Your Windscribe Account**
If you're certain you want to stop using Windscribe forever, you can delete your account. To do this:
1. Log in to your account on Windscribe.com.
2. Click "My Account" and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
3. Click the "Give Up On Privacy" button (yes, it's that obnoxious).
4. Follow the prompts to enter your password, write a cancellation reason, and check both boxes below the text field.
5. Click "Delete Account" to finalize the process.
**Requesting a Refund**
If you're within the limits of 10GB data usage and are eligible for a refund (first payment only), you can request one by starting a conversation with the Garry chatbot. To do this:
1. Click the chatbot icon at the bottom-right corner of any page on Windscribe.com.
2. Stand firm through several attempts to fix your complaints before initiating the refund process.
**Alternatives to Windscribe**
If you're willing to give another VPN a try, here are some excellent alternatives:
* Proton VPN (free plan available)
* ExpressVPN
* Surfshark
* NordVPN
These services offer similar features and benefits without the quirks that drove you away from Windscribe.
