Obscura VPN debuts native Windows app, raises device limit to five

Obscura VPN released a native Windows app for Windows 10 and 11, increasing simultaneous connections from three to five and offering a 25% launch discount.

According to a TechRadar report, the Windows app marks the first time Obscura's privacy infrastructure is available on a native desktop client beyond macOS. The company entered the market in February 2025 as a Mac-only VPN, later expanding to iOS and then Android via Google Play and Obtainum. Founder Carl Dong told TechRadar that Windows was the most requested platform, and that the native app is included with every subscription at no extra cost.

The decision to support both Windows 10 and 11 was deliberate, the company said, noting that roughly one-third of Windows users still run the older OS. "Privacy tools shouldn't require a new PC," the provider said.

Obscura's core distinction is its dual-relay system. Instead of a traditional single-server VPN, the service routes traffic through two relays: the first server sees the user's IP address but not the destination, while the second sees the destination but not the IP. This separation ensures that even Obscura itself cannot link a user's identity to their browsing activity. The service also uses QUIC obfuscation to hide VPN traffic from network administrators and censors.

The company recently passed its first independent audit, which verified its infrastructure security and zero-logs policy, according to TechRadar. The Windows launch is accompanied by a promotional offer valid for both new and existing users. A native Linux app is also in development, with a waitlist open for early access.
