The Windscribe browser extension supports three Allowlist functions:

  • Allow Connection
  • Allow Ads
  • Allow Cookies

The Allow Connection option allows users to have specific domains go through their ISP connection rather than the extension's proxy. To do this, please perform the following:

  • Access the domain that you wanted to have go through your ISP's connection
  • Open the extension and click on the Allowlist settings button on the bottom right
  • Click on the Connection button and hit refresh (orange arrow icon)
