Windscribe has become the latest VPN to introduce support for post-quantum encryption (PQE), the new industry standard.
Not all providers in our best VPNs list have adopted post-quantum encryption – NordVPN and ExpressVPN are the only two currently supporting it out of our top five.
Windscribe has said it has built PQE into its WireGuard offering, utilising a pre-shared key. The new encryption standard is available on Windscribe's desktop, iOS, and Android VPN apps.
Quantum computers aren't yet widely available. However, security and privacy providers are taking steps to protect users before Q-Day arrives – the point when quantum computers can break most encryption methods.
There is debate about when VPN providers should implement PQE but Windscribe is one the services adopting it soon
