      For sure. I no longer buy into new Google products because they’re going to die. It also makes it hard to recommend anything Google. They’re literally killing their ability to expand by constantly doing this.

      The only plus in this situation is that switching VPNs is far easier than other services since it’s just a pipe you’re swapping out.

      Still annoying though, since Google VPN was nice if you were already paying for Google One. Now people will have to pay extra for something else.

            Surfshark, I don’t know much about VPN’s but I’ve been told they are pretty secure and don’t share your info. I mainly use VPN’s to pirate shows and movies and for that it’s worked well, havnt gotten any letters from my ISP.

            I’m not endorsing them just to be clear as I am not knowledgeable enough to know if it’s good or not but it was recommended by someone I trust with that stuff like 3 years ago.

          Yeah, but that’s still an extra expense. Most people using Google VPN were using it because they were already paying for Google One.
