Security Software Preffered VPN

The thing is Windscribe has actively refused independent audit of their "no logs" policy.
They've published audit results as of June 2024, including of their no logs policy (not familiar with the auditor so no idea if they're reputable or not). And I can't find any evidence of them having outright refused to do an audit - the main issue I see is that they didn't keep their original promises for when it was supposed to be done, because (according to them) they've had a bunch of infrastructure changes over the last couple of years that held everything back. I will say that that lapse and the lack of transparency following it is concerning - there should have been an easily accessible page or an email detailing the reasons for any delays, rather than a bunch scattered Reddit comments and tweets.
They also keep actively publishing blogs against 14 eyes, as if they need to keep defending themselves.
I mean, it seems obvious why they would post those - many people immediately write off any VPN-based in those countries without actually evaluating whether there's a realistic threat from such membership, as I was talking about before, and that's a deterrent for potential clients. A business defending themselves against potential loss of business from what they perceive as misinformation is par for the course, I think. The main issue is whether the contents of said posts are valid, and prima facie it seems like most of it is, at least to me - I'd have to see a specific rebuttal to dismiss them based on this.
Also - being nitpicky here - two blog posts across four years doesn't come across as "keep actively publishing" to me.
Also, doesn't generally work well with streaming services.
That might be the case - I don't really use it for that so wouldn't know. What I can say is that interestingly, their dedicated video streaming servers seem to be better at dodging VPN detection than the normal servers - I've had them work for sites that block access from VPNs, though not consistently. Probably just that the IP ranges hadn't ended up on any blacklists at the time.
