Google One subscribers who are utilizing the Premium Plan or higher, are granted access to the firm’s own VPN service without any cost. Up until recently, the service was only available on Android and iOS devices, but Google is now making it available to desktop users as well. This means that if a user purchases a 2TB or higher plan, then VPN by Google One will be added automatically and without any additional charge.
Google One VPN support has been brought for Mac and Windows devices and it was confirmed by the company. It is now available in 22 countries around the world, enabling the users to mask their IP addresses and restrict trackers.
“We remain committed to a high degree of transparency and verifiability of our privacy and security guarantees. We have recently completed an extension of this audit to cover the desktop implementations for Windows and macOS,” the company was quoted as saying.

The desktop version necessitates a minimum of macOS Big Sur or Windows 10. The Mac app supports both x86 and ARM users, whereas the Windows app does not support 32-bit or ARM-based systems.
It’s worth noting that, unlike most of the premium VPN services on the market, Google One’s VPN does not permit users to modify their location in order to access or unlock media content from other regions on streaming platforms. The Google One VPN, like Apple’s iCloud Plus VPN, automatically assigns an IP address within the area from which the user connects.
Google’s VPN service is also audited by third-party organizations. To ensure transparency, the firm also showcases the source code for its app libraries. The search engine behemoth has revealed that the desktop app audit will be publicly disclosed in the upcoming week time.
Google began offering their VPN service for free to Google One subscriber having a 2TB plan in the United States in 2020, but the firm has since decided to expand this free offering to 22 marketplaces, including Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, among others.
