New IP every N hours

[wellloaded]

As per title really, I would like to get a new IP every N hours.
This sounds potentially like a reconnection, and I guess it can be achieved in a number of way like:

• Adding an option to reconnect to the current site and get new IP
• allowing to create a pool of preferred servers locations where the connection should be attempted in round-robin

Regardless of what Windscribe/developers will come up with, I think this is a very good idea (left as an option) for many reasons.

Thanks

Hi. The incoming 2.18 release will have a new 'IP rotate' feature. There will be a button in the UI allowing one to rotate their IP without having to reconnect. Once this feature is available, you should be able to script something up that can use the CLI to request an IP rotation every N hours.

Amazing, thank you for considering the suggestion.
Can I recommend you create a page on the Windscribe site to document the needful (e.g. script) to trigger this new IP with and without reconnection?

Appreciated

The new IP pinning and rotation features are available in the 2.18.3 build if you want to play with them.

I can only see 2.18.2 available?

Is there a better link?

We haven't given it wide release via our website yet. A sneak previews of the 2.18.3 release is available here on GitHub.

Thanks for the continuous communication.
I have installed it, but I see nothing related to rotate IP. Can you please shed some light on what I'm supposed to be testing here and how?

@wellloaded You can find the feature behind the 3 dot menu to the right of the IP address

Found it, thanks.
Here's my feedback:

• it doesn't seem to work when connected to Johannesburg, but it does works when connected to Nairobi

• I can't work out why, but sometimes testing new location the 3dots are greyed out:

• I think the UI can be improved, the 3 dots menu would be better appearing above/below/besides the IP so that it doesn't hide it and a click on the spin icon is immediately visible. In general I personally would not introduce a new menu. A simple spin icon to the right of the IP should suffice and I consider that a good/simple design.

Hey Wellloaded. Some our our data centers do not yet have the new backend software to support this feature, hence the dots being greyed out.

THE TEXT needs to be changed to white in prefernces the dull gray on black is hard to read for us older folks or allow us to scale\enlarge the client about 1.5 would be excellent for my eyes and glasses. Thank you for consideration.

It's off-topic, but I'm 100% with you. I'm also an old school user on a 27 inch 1080p to be able to deal with my degraded eyesight,
