Google One VPN will be discontinued, Pixel VPN remains with upgrade coming
Google announced today that VPN by Google One is shutting down in the coming months. Back in October of 2020...
Another service to the graveyard: https://killedbygoogle.com/
Another one bites the dust!
Who it the fuck use a Google "VPN"??
LMAO..
I use it when I'm staying at hotels and want to use their WiFi, or any other public WiFi, to protect my private data. Google probably has it anyway but there's no need to share it with another unknown entity.
It's the worst VPN anyway
No! I recently started going back to the office, so the Google One VPN was an easy way for me to bypass the restrictions on my company's Wi-Fi network.
If you've got decent throughput at home buying a rasp pi 3/4 means you can have your own VPN
Check if cloudflare warp works for you.
hi guys its just google! so listen we can't decide on how to brand any of our services so if you don't like something don't worry it will be changed in 6 months or less!
Seriously, at this point it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. None of the dedicated users start using a Google service because they know it won't last. Or maybe they do use it to play around with, but they certainly don't recommend it to their less enthusiastic social circles. Either way, this severely restricts how much the service can grow by word of mouth. Thus it doesn't get enough users for Google to consider it viable, and they shut it down. And next time, people are even more cautious about getting invested in a Google tool.
I'm just waiting for everything they haven't killed to merge onto YouTube, at this point. Because that seems to be the direction things are headed.

Me and ye both.
Using the "website" YouTube in my mobile browser sucks and I have to disable their "app" because it's a system app for some reason or other, to then allow me to use a better app like Newpipe without their system app popping up in the share menu every time I get an update.
Speaking of updates my Xiaomi just updated to A14, and even thou
I now get this....You couldn't make it up.
Huh. I didn't even realize it was a thing. I've had Google One for several years.
Critical support to Google for consistently killing Google services.
