Google is shutting down its VPN by Google One service, according to a vague customer email seen by Android Authority<\/em><\/a>, less than four years after it was rolled out in October 2020. The email doesn\u2019t specify when<\/em> this will happen, only that the VPN service will be discontinued \u201clater this year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Subscription prices for Google One\u2019s VPN<\/a> start at $1.99, with availability on Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. The company told 9to5Google<\/em><\/a> that it is killing the service because \u201cpeople simply weren\u2019t using it.\u201d Perhaps its customers were simply spoilt for choice, given this is actually one of three<\/em> VPN services provided by Google alongside the VPN offerings still available via Google Fi<\/a>, and Pixel devices<\/a> from the Pixel 7 on up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n VPN by Google One is the latest offering to get tossed into the infamous \u201cGoogle Graveyard<\/a>\u201d just weeks after the Google One cloud storage service announced it had hit a 100 million subscriber<\/a> milestone. Google mentioned in its shutdown email that the VPN was being phased out to \u201cfocus on providing the most in-demand features and benefits,\u201d which may relate to all the Gemini AI stuff<\/a> that the company is shoving into Google One.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
