Google has announced that it is increasing its VPN access to all Google One subscribers, even those on the $1.99 per month Basic plan.
The VPN is presently being rolled out and will be available in 22 countries for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac devices, according to a blog post published by the tech giant on Wednesday.
“VPN by Google One adds more protection to your internet activity no matter what apps or browsers you use, shielding it from hackers or network operators by masking your IP address.”
Without a VPN, websites and apps users visit could track their activities or pinpoint their location using their IP address.
Prior to this, only 2 TB and higher plans were available over VPN by Google One.
For American users, the company also created the “dark web report” feature to assist them better manage their personal information.
The dark web report from Google One will assist users in scanning the dark web for their personal information – their name, address, email, phone number, and Social Security number — and will tell them if it is discovered.
“Dark web report will start rolling out over the next few weeks to members across all Google One plans in the US,” the tech giant said.
