The company rolled out Google One’s VPN feature back in 2020, but you could only access it if you’re paying for a plan with at least 2TB of storage, which costs at least $10 a month.
…
it’s discontinuing the feature because “people simply weren’t using it.”
Gee, I wonder why… 🙄
TIL Google one had VPN
TIL Google One
Can’t imagine trusting a VPN made by Google.
Someone should tell killedbygoogle.com about this astounding development
Already updated it seems
What the heck was Google One? For a company that sells ads, they sure suck at marketing.
Cloud storage used by Google Mail, Photos and Drive combined.
Yeah they didn’t really need to advertise it specifically. It’s a core part of a lot of their other tools
Edit: the cloud storage didn’t need advertised. I’ve never heard of their vpn before even though sounds like I technically had access to it lol
I wouldn’t trust it anyway.
I’ve used it, but only when I’m on some really sketchy unencrypted WiFi network, like in an airport or a hotel.
It doesn’t offer location spoofing like all other VPNs on the market, which I would have more use for.
Google Fi also includes a VPN, I wonder if that’s going as well?
