It wasn’t too long ago that Google announced another bundled service for its smartphones for the Pixel 7 series. Although Google VPN has been around for a while, it required a fixed subscription (from 2TB) to Google One. This will be different.
If you have a Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, Google VPN is free to use on Android phones. Google announced the innovation soon after the smartphone launched, but didn’t actually reveal the feature until December.
VPN: Encrypted Internet connection, good external protection
Already today Reported First users that they can now activate previously chargeable services through the Google One app at no additional cost. But probably only on your smartphone, but not on MacOS or Windows, for which Google VPN is now available.
As already mentioned, we strongly assume that Google will offer its VPN service for free by December. The rollout will probably start a little earlier. Along with the Pixel feature drop is sure to be an announcement, the update should probably be available from December 5th.
The free version wasn’t available to me on the Pixel 7 Pro yet, but that will probably change soon. Google’s VPN is also primarily about security. A VPN tunnel like this makes particular sense if you use public WiFi connections.
