Norton slows down connections to the Internet when autostarting VPN connections. I tried a number of workarounds to accommodate Norton. Tunneled the VPN and other suggestions from the Windscribe VPN provider. The only way to get security updates and backups is to turn off the VPN. If not resolved, I will unsubscribe to Norton. Norton should find a workaround before my subscription ends, since it seems to be a useless utility that slows down the computer.
A few months ago, I asked for help on the same issue. If there is no resolution, my best option is to uninstall Norton and cancel the subscription.
@Robert_Seubert When you said you are “tunneling” the VPN please explain what you are doing. As I read it, the Norton VPN is enabled and you are tunneling Windscribe through it. I’m most likely incorrect so please clarify if you would. TIA!!

Automatic cloud backup does not work when Windsribe VPN is turned on.
When turned off it works fine.
Tried various different VPN protocols and nothing works.
The VPN provider suggest using Split Tunnel and exclude the backup from the VPN.
What program or app name should I use for backup so it can be excluded?
I have tried NortonSecurity.exe but not working.
Any suggestions to make backup work over wireguard VPN?
Coincidentally, a Norton update was sent yesterday, which seems to fix the issues.
Good news indeed!! Thanks for the post back. If this reoccurs please post again so we can try to help again. Have an awesome holidays.
