I have this vpn because it comes for free with my Google Drive subscription. I have never used it because it does not do what I expect it to do
what's the utility of the vpn then???
The biggest thing was being able to switch it on and off from the notifications menu. It is/was super convenient.
Not surprised this is being shut down because it lacked many of the features that most major vpns had.
But that feature was unique.
Any VPN app can be turned on from the notification short cuts or atleast WireGuard and Windscribe can.
Huh. I didn't know that. I only have two vpns, mostly because they come with a product I subscribe to.
Good to know
