To utilize Google One’s VPN, you no longer need to bring out your phone. Google has launched One VPN applications for both Mac and Windows. The VPN encrypts and generally covers your internet activity, just like it does on mobile. It can’t be used to access material from different locations like some VPNs, but it might assist if you’re concerned about disclosing your IP address (which could be used for tracking) or utilizing a public wifi.
Although you may share access with up to five other individuals, the VPN requires at least the $10 per month 2TB Google One service. Desktop assistance is available in all 22 countries where the service is offered, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and much of Europe. You’ll need Mac OS X Big Sur or Windows 10. There is one caveat: the Mac software supports both x86 and ARM users, however the Windows version does not support 32-bit or ARM-based PCs. If you want to buy an ARM-powered Surface Pro, you’ll have to search elsewhere.
Google, like previously, has outside groups assess its VPN. To maintain openness, it also releases the source code for its app libraries. The desktop app audit will be made public in the “coming weeks.”
Many VPN companies have long supported many devices, so the desktop software are probably overdue. Depending on your requirements, this may not be the best solution. For $60 per year, Mozilla’s VPN provides regional server options, and you can even obtain a free Opera VPN if you’re simply concerned with securing your browser activities. Google’s advantage remains the bundle – you’re actually purchasing cloud storage that also includes a VPN.
