Google offers a VPN service called Google One VPN, which is available to Google One subscribers on certain plans. Here’s what you need to know:
- Secure browsing – Encrypts your internet traffic to protect privacy.
- No-log policy – Google claims it does not track your online activity.
- Multi-device support – Works on Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac.
- Automatic protection – Can activate VPN when using untrusted networks.
- Server locations – Uses Google’s global infrastructure (but no option to choose specific countries).
Availability:
- Included in Google One Premium plans (2TB+ storage, starting at $9.99/month or $99.99/year).
- Supports up to 10 devices per account.
Limitations:
- Not as feature-rich as dedicated VPNs (e.g., no advanced protocols like WireGuard).
- No ability to select specific server locations.
- Only for Google One subscribers (not a standalone VPN).
Alternatives to Google VPN:
If you want more control or a free option, consider:
- ProtonVPN (free tier available)
- Mullvad (privacy-focused)
- NordVPN/ExpressVPN (for streaming & speed)
How to Enable Google One VPN:
- Subscribe to a Google One Premium plan (2TB+).
- Open the Google One app (Android/iOS) or Google One website.
- Go to Benefits → VPN by Google One.
- Toggle Enable VPN.
