VPN by Google One shuts down

Add it to the pile.

At this point, I’m surprised anybody (including myself) still buys/uses Google services, given how risky it is that you’ll become dependent on them and then they kill off the product(s). I really need to get off my ass and switch mail providers.

Google: people weren't using it.

The People: you cancel literally everything you create, so why should we bother?

Google One was a pretty sweet deal on paper.

But unfortunately, Google's superpower of making really cool things and then killing it off continues to exist.

I get on my VPN to provide less data to Google. Routing my traffic through an advertising company always felt like a bad idea to me.

Who would use that shite?

Or are you hiring VPN and MITM combo here?

But how am I going to prevent someone from hacking my Google Glass if I click the wrong link in a Google Group now?!

So no one spoke up or no one listened to guy who said "this is a bad idea, no one really trusts us"

May as well call it "Google Drive Storage Plans" again then? Aside from some dysfunctional AI features that's pretty much the only thing you get, no?

RIP to the only VPN that reliably let you watch streaming services overseas.

Here's to enabling the OpenVPN / Wireguard feature on your router.

If you don't care about "moving your virtual location" using vpns, check your router settings, you might just find an option to enable a VPN server. It'll be fast, and guess what.. It's free

Also did I mention that you control the data flowing trough it

In Soviet Russia, GoogleOne VPN shut down you!

Didn’t they just come out with that recently?
