I got this splash screen for and from Cloudwards and WireGuard Tunnel telling me my internet connection was scanned and fine along with VPN options and other choices related to my computer’s system.
No warnings or attributions and all shared options are closed on my system and I’m behind a VPN.
Shocked and concerned is an understatement. Bing searches do not help but PC mag has information and facts on Malwarebytes and WireGuard so I search PC about the Makwarebytes VPN only to my surprise to see that Malwarebytes uses the WireGuard Protocols.
The splash screen should have said about the connection to Malwarebytes and WireGuard

To stand out from the rest of the pack, Malwarebytes has decided to use the newer WireGuard protocol in its VPN product, Malwarebytes Privacy, which is currently available for Windows computers.

Nearly every PC security vendor out there provides some sort of VPN, but only a handful offer it as a standalone product. One such newcomer is Malwarebytes, the popular anti-malware security company. In late April, the company revealed Malwarebytes Privacy, a VPN offering locations in 31 countries with more than 245 servers.
Currently, Malwarebytes isn’t running its own network, opting to use a third-party vendor instead. Malwarebytes told us, however, that its service can integrate with “multiple back-end providers” meaning it can switch, or add, back-end providers as needed.
