One of the advantages that subscribers to the mobile connectivity service Google Fi – which we remind you to be available for now only in the USA with the operators T-Mobile and US Cellular – can take advantage of the availability of a VP service Integrated N, which offers a greater level of security for mobile communications and which can also be used when connecting to public WiFi.

The VPN service arrives also in Google One

Google has now decided to include the VPN service also in the Google One subscription with storage space of 2TB and above, therefore in subscriptions starting from 10 dollars per month. The service will also be valid for sharing with up to 5 family members at no additional cost.

A VPN, acronym for Virtual Private Network, allows you to surf the Internet more securely by protecting data traffic with encryption and hiding the IP address. Browsing data passes through a VPN server before reaching the actual web, where it is encrypted to prevent it from being intercepted by potential attackers.

Unfortunately access to the VPN service for Google One subscribers will initially be available only for Android users and, even in this case, only for users in the USA . However, Google has already announced that it plans to expand the service to iOS, Windows and macOS in the coming months, and also to “other geographical areas” for which, however, there are currently no further details.
