    doesn’t most vpn user want to get rid of tracking and spying ? It would makes no sense for them to use Google vpn.

      The only real use for Google’s VPN was as an extra layer of security when connected to an untrusted network or open WiFi.

    A VPN run by Google is like a bank run by Bernie Madoff.

      Google products are always at risk if being killed. Then again, products from small companies are always at risk of being bought out and killed.

      But jamboard was worse than all other whiteboard services. Since it did not get any new features for years it was just a matter of time it was going to be discontinued

        It is/was integrated and simple for students to use and link to. What others do you like?

    I liked that they had special privacy tech other VPNs don’t have but they didn’t allow you to choose the location so it was unusable for me.

    I want my VPN location to be my actual location so that the weather app doesn’t mess up and show the wrong city.

      Shouldn’t your app just let you pick the location?
