github Windscribe/Desktop-App v2.26.1
v2.26.1-alpha

pre-release2 hours ago

Added

  • Support for hydra profiles. Import a hydra profile in Preferences > Connection > Hydra Profile, or with windscribe-cli hydra, to connect to the profile's locations through your own self-hosted Hydra WireGuard server.

Improved

  • Security by moving IKEv2 IPsec parameter setup, which runs as the signed-in user, out of the Windows helper and into the app.
  • App launch time by no longer executing taskkill.exe in the Windows helper to stop OpenVPN, even when OpenVPN is not running.

Fixed

  • Windows helper potentially crashing on startup when third-party software installs a buggy WinSock Layered Service Provider (LSP). LSPs are now blocked from loading.
  • App window opening behind full-screen apps when clicking the menu bar icon on macOS 27.
