Brave, a browser focused on privacy installed a VPN service in Windows clients without even asking to do so. This behavior dates back to 2022 but is limited to the Windows version.
It’s possible to remove these services manually or another is to uninstall Brave and reinstall it without admin rights so that the program can’t install additional services.
