Comment on VPN by Google One is shutting down for good

Kinda makes one not want to become dependant on google products.
The only plus in this situation is that switching VPNs is far easier than other services since it’s just a pipe you’re swapping out.
Still annoying though, since Google VPN was nice if you were already paying for Google One. Now people will have to pay extra for something else.
Vpn’s aren’t that expensive, the one I use is $55 for 2 years.
3 years (and more since some of my friends used my link to sign up) of NordVPN for 78 dollars.
Which is that?
Surfshark, I don’t know much about VPN’s but I’ve been told they are pretty secure and don’t share your info. I mainly use VPN’s to pirate shows and movies and for that it’s worked well, havnt gotten any letters from my ISP.
I’m not endorsing them just to be clear as I am not knowledgeable enough to know if it’s good or not but it was recommended by someone I trust with that stuff like 3 years ago.
Yeah, but that’s still an extra expense. Most people using Google VPN were using it because they were already paying for Google One.
It’s $2 a month… I think you’ll be fine.

For sure. I no longer buy into new Google products because they’re going to die. It also makes it hard to recommend anything Google. They’re literally killing their ability to expand by constantly doing this.

Makes me think of when they brought out Stadia… Friend of mine was all into it, and didn’t understand why I just shrugged and didn’t bother with it.
I think he learned a valuable lesson there… Oh well, at least they refunded people’s money

And all 3 of them are great for the Steam Deck.
