  • Google VPN is here and I had a chance to try it and see how it works. I was surprised but in a bad way.
    VPN by Google One is currently available to all Google One members who are subscribed to the Premium 2TB. Additionally, family members who are part of the subscriber’s family group can use the VPN on up to six devices.
    Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 7/7 Pro users will have access to VPN by Google One at no extra cost. You can enable VPN by Google One through the Google One app even without a Google One membership.

    You know that if Google just adds option to choose server/country it would kill the VPN market. As low as basic subscription gives you VPN option and also extra storage.

      Fair point, though I tried to remain as objective as possible in this video as a VPN user myself and pointed out good things about Google One too like the additional storage and its simplicity. But as I pointed out in the video - Google VPN is currently lacking the ability to choose your own VPN location which is a key aspect of getting a lot of VPN benefits

      I stopped watching after a minute when he compared Google One's highest price plan to SurfShark's lowest price plan, as if anyone buys Google One just for the VPN 🙄. Not to mention my Basic plan has the VPN.

    Not the best, but since it already comes with my Google one sub. I'm cool with it.
    Anybody worried about their data on Google shouldn't use anything Google related say all.
    Funny when people say they don't trust one particular Google service while fully involved in Maps, Gmail, Drive, Photos, UA-cam and using an Android phone with all their infos...🤷‍♂️

    can you guys make a vedio on how virtual servers work , i live in nepal and when i try to connect surfshark to my country it shows me it has 400+ ping , is it because its a virtual server ?

    20 euro per year, 100G and I use Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Keeps and Google Drive.
    Almost forgot, Google VPN too. Unbeatable prices.
    Btw VPN, Virtual private network are used to make connections from a client (Google VPN server) different by the client itself (smartphone, pc, etc)and same when get responses.
    About the log thing unless you use a non Android (Google) phone, without Google services and apps and going through Google Servers when browsing the internet on a website that doesn't use Google Analytics, UA-cam videos and related, plus coockies, it is impossible for them not to log.
    Bye

    Is there a way to log in to Google Vpn on your Amazon fire stick. I tried everything and could not even get a log in to Google at all. Even using an APK app for Google one the spinning icon comes up and just remains spinning

    I've found Google One VPN so limited that it's not even worth using. I'm not sure what advantages it provides over the average basic VPN providers other than the ease of setup.
    edit: The best use case I've found was using it on open/public wifi connections. My problem is that despite being a Google Fi customer with multiple Google mobile devices associated with my account, I'm only able to use the VPN on my primary device. Moreover, the VPN does not work for any devices using my primary device as a wifi hotspot.

    I think google vpn is a good step forward , its a bit like windows own build in firewall, yes theres much better 3rd party solutions out there , but it offers users a base defence. Aka its better than nothing

    Google vpn is using a server somewhere in Washington according to dns leak test I live in S.Texas ping is like 67 mili seconds I find quad 9 is much better lower ping of 30 and speed is not as good as quad 9.

    3:00 why do some apps have issues?

    • @Marcuschanged
      @Marcuschanged Рік тому +1

      Because some apps use ur location to run properly. So with your VPN being on its pinging ur location somewhere you're not at. Which will sometimes throw off the app

      ⁠@@BackDawsfor some people just being a big corporation is enough to distrust them. They disregard any major service just because it’s a thing that everyone uses and stick to other minor service. And when that service becomes the next big thing, they move on once again.
