Google announced today that VPN by Google One is shutting down in the coming months.

Google is now “discontinuing the VPN feature as [they] found people simply weren’t using it.” The company tells 9to5Google that the deprecation will let the team “refocus” and “support more in-demand features with Google One.”

Why would one trust a VPN of a spy-ware company?

Because they trust McDonald's and Starbucks wifi even less.

Well I'm not against No-Log VPNs,
I use them on the daily myself.

However using a VPN of a spy-ware company kinda defeats the purpose.

Once they killed reader, I stopped using any google services that I didn't have to for some other reason.

Reader was the GOAT, as the kids say.

What's the point in a VPN that doesn't support torrents?

Pretending you're in a different country while using streaming services.

Yeah, well I'm all done with asking nicely.

That's okay. You're not the target demographic of every product.
