VPN by Google One was initially launched in October 2020 for users on the $9.99 per month plan. It later became available for all plans, including the $1.99/month offering, in March 2023. The VPN was accessible through the Google One app on Android and iOS, and dedicated Mac and Windows clients were also released.
Google discontinued the VPN by Google One service because it found that people were not using it as much as expected. The company decided to focus on providing more in-demand features and benefits within Google One.
