Google One VPN will be discontinued, Pixel VPN remains with upgrade coming
That stinks, it was a useful service that brought more value to Google One. I don’t get the Pixel VPN because I’m on a Pixel 5. Lame.
The sole reason I didn’t start using it is because I assumed Google would kill it and didn’t want to waste time switching to it.
Google really needs to figure this out, people have been tired of this for years already.
Google kill a service…no never…
Literally when will the Google board wake up and get rid of Sundar he’s literally tanking the company and destroying the Google people once knew…
I haven’t even gotten over the killing of Google Podcasts yet…
Ah, the usual Google.
Make it barebones and hard to use, then wonder why people don’t use it.
Like, why the fuck would you put regional restrictions on a VPN?
Lame. I used this regularly. Having said that, the one available on Samsungs works better (even though it costs a little bit each month and is ran by McAfee I think)
Since Google One is a paid service, I hope new features of equal or greater value are added before the VPN is killed. It wouldn’t be right to charge us the same price for less features.
I had access to it here in New Zealand until I paid for my google One - and then they said “nope” and can’t access it now.
Aussie has it but not us. Dumb.
Where is this pixel VPN? When I check my p8p I only see the Google one version.
Thought it was a bit crap to be honest. Didn’t work on a lot of WiFi networks for me. Had hardly any customisation.
Now this is one of the dumbest moves yet.
If there is a lot of overhead then just scale back the team and server instances that are on standby.
This actually added value to a PAID product for Google.
I don’t plan on using google products since their murder of google play music…
Constantly abandoning products and services just fuels the perception of Google/Android being cheap, unstable and inferior compared to Apple. I wish they’d get it together.
Will probably cancel my Google One subscription and move all my photos elsewhere. The search function in it has been braindead for awhile now anyways.
Well, that sucks. I mostly pay for Google One for the extra space, but the VPN was a nice value-add.
Google really needs to figure out their internal garbage because for years they’ve been recreating the wheel like they have nothing better to do. Instead of improving stuff they keep on making the stuff they’ve already made prior.
Well this is bullshit. What am I paying to have Google One for then?
I was…I love Google but their desire to sunset everything is frustrating at times.
How does one disable Google one VPN and change to pixel VPN
