Installed their VPN to check it out. However, immediately my Moto cell phone began connecting and disconnecting from its desktop app (SmartConnect via USB). Never seen that happen with a VPN install so I uninstalled it using Geek Uninstaller. According to Geek, Windscribe does not do a “clean” uninstall. Lots of stuff left behind including a few files and directories in AppData and 32 registry mods. Hmmm.

It turns out that Windscribe has never really been a well-regarded VPN. At least, I don’t think so.
Why do you think that?
Well the behavior I described above sure gave me 2nd thoughts. I installed Proton VPN and so far, none of the phone disconnect weirdness.
