Google One is a subscription-based cloud service from Google, offering a wide selection of storage plans ranging from 100GB up to 30TB. On some plans, Google also offers freebies like 10% cashback for Google Store purchases, Pro sessions with Google experts, and Gold status on Google Play points.
Last year, Google added another perk to higher tier plans: access to a virtual private network or VPN. Until now, the Google One VPN was only available to subscribers in the United States, but these days it's finally seeing a wider expansion, with the service also being activated in North America and five European countries.
Google has updated its support page for Google One, including these countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom, bringing the total count to eight. The VPN service offered by Google is mainly aimed at making browsing more secure and private by routing traffic in an encrypted tunnel.
Since its debut, Google One's VPN has seen numerous improvements. A new VPN whitelist feature was added to the service in June, allowing users to ignore certain apps from the VPN. Also recently, Google One added a new “Snooze” button that allows users to pause the VPN for a short time.
