Google One is shutting down its VPN feature later this year
engadget.com

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

I've got Google One for the storage but there was no way I wanted all my internet activity routed through the Google servers

The only time I used it was when a hotel wifi was blocking access to my VPN but Google's worked fine

You had your files in Google One storage though.

Yes but I individually choose what goes in there it's not the fire hose of data that is everything I browse
