As you know, since Google is responsible for constantly communicating this information to its users, Google One VPN is now available to all usersso if you’re one of them and haven’t bothered to look into the issue carefully yet, we’ve done it for you and now we’re going to tell you what’s out there and, most importantly, how you can take advantage of it.

In short, and as we already assumed a few weeks ago when this good news was published, Google One VPN is added to the services included in the subscription for all users, without the limitation of the contract tariff, as it was until now. So you can access Google One VPN from 1.99 euros per month or 19.99 euros per year, which is an unbeatable price on the VPN market.

A Google One subscription also has other benefits, such as expanding cloud storage (shared between Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos) or access to exclusive features of the company’s products and services. In fact, the storage expansion is the main attraction of the subscription, although add-ons like VPN make the package more attractive.

Of course, Google One VPN is not so cheap just because it comes from an internet giant, but because it has its limitations compared to the more common alternatives on the market. But first: do you really know what a VPN is? Check out this article and this next one in case you need more information, as we won’t cover it now.

Generally speaking, a VPN will help you improve your privacy when connected to the Internet, masking your IP address, encrypting your traffic, plus it offers the ability to use IP addresses from servers around the world, an option often used to bypass restrictions. Google One VPN includes the first two, IP and encryption, but not the ability to choose where you connect from.

On the other hand, if the main goal of a VPN is to improve online privacy, Google basically offers no guarantees in this regard, given the company’s experience so far. In this regard, it states that “Google will never use a VPN connection to record, sell, or track your browsing activity.” Google One VPN is also an open source software.

Of course, what Google says has to be believed, but here’s the trick, as we pointed out at the time: if you are a Google user and a Google One subscriber, you most likely already use services like Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, Google Maps, etc., which means the company doesn’t need to track you to get information because you’re already providing it to them. Or what is the same thing: if you browse Google One VPN but use Chrome, you are identified in Google, Gmail and more… What do you want?
