I used to think the “killed by Google” meme was exaggerated, but this doesn’t look good. Why go through all the trouble of developing and promoting a VPN service as part of Google One, to eventually shut it down? If Apple is able to do it as part of iCloud, then why not Google? It’s like Google is launching new products without any strategic thinking, to eventually realize the product is not a good fit for them, after having wasted their own resources, and more importantly the time and attention of their customers. Google is slowly but surely destroying their brand. Which is kind of sad.
I have Google One VPN which comes with the storage, I don't use it. If I were going to use a VPN I'd probably use a different provider even though I have the free access of one.
I think it's because of trust - I'm nervous about the fact it's linked to my Google account. Using a separate provider with a virtual credit card and an Apple email relay would be my choice.
