VPN by Google One is shutting down for good

Another service to add to the pile of things Google barely supported then killed.
-
Google shutting down a service?! That's a new one. I would have never expected that.
-
Why would I use a Google VPN anyways
-
Some people think that Google is trustworthy. They still believe that the motto “Do No Evil” was ever relevant.
-
The power of branding is never to be overstated.
-
-
I use it because it comes free with a service I already pay for.

-
TIL they had a VPN

VPN
by Google
Gets shut down
You literally can’t make this stuff up folks
-
This is why I rarely get on board with new Google products nowadays. I know they'll get half assed support and then be killed off really quickly.
-
Google, Meta, Microsoft.
Three companies I would never trust as a VPN provider. Not necessarily in that order.

Good, Google has enough access to everyone's data already. Nobody needs to willingly give them even more access by routing all of their traffic through a Google server.
-
Yeah that's the same conclusion they reached.
-
-
Google One is a huge disappointment.
-
I hear the big sell is the drive storage
-
-
No doubt, they used this to scrape network traffic.
-
Google can go to hell.
-
Another one for the grave yard

I have this vpn because it comes for free with my Google Drive subscription. I have never used it because it does not do what I expect it to do
But it’s included…. Ples give your data
what's the utility of the vpn then???
Security when you’re on untrusted network. I can trust Google to snoop my banking data and update the spending power info on my ad profile, I can’t trust the random dude in trench coat also using the public wifi when I am traveling out of my roaming coverage.
I joke of course, but the security aspect is still valid.
The biggest thing was being able to switch it on and off from the notifications menu. It is/was super convenient.
Not surprised this is being shut down because it lacked many of the features that most major vpns had.
But that feature was unique.
