Obscura VPN lands on Windows, bringing its next, gen privacy to PC users

Obscura VPN releases a native app for Windows 10 and Windows 11 The simultaneous device limit has been upgraded from three to five New and existing users can grab a 25% discount using a special code Finding the best Windows VPN is getting more exciting as emerging privacy provider Obscura VPN officially expands its reach to desktop PCs, rolling out a fully native app for Windows 10 and 11 .

The move brings Obscura VPN 's unique approach to digital privacy — which includes a two-party relay architecture and QUIC obfuscation — straight to the world's most popular desktop operating system.

It marks a massive step forward for the service, making its modern privacy infrastructure accessible to a much wider demographic.

To sweeten the deal, Obscura is treating the launch as a milestone to reward its entire user base.

The provider is bumping its simultaneous connection limit from three to five devices.

This means you can now secure your smartphone, tablet, and desktop without having to manually log out of active sessions to free up slots.

Alongside the free device bump, Obscura is celebrating its desktop debut with a launch promotion.

It is offering a 25% discount to users who apply the promo code WINDOWS26 at checkout.

For those outside the Microsoft ecosystem, the developer has confirmed that a native Linux application is also in the pipeline, complete with an active waitlist for early access. (Image credit: Future) NEW : Leave No Trace — A weekly newsletter on digital privacy and online surveillance.

That left desktop fans eagerly waiting for a native solution.

"Windows was our most requested platform," Carl Dong, founder of Obscura, told TechRadar.

"Today we’re delivering it, a fully native app included with every subscription, and we're raising everyone’s device limit from 3 to 5, free," he added.
