Google now rolls out free VPN service to Pixel 7 (Pro)

Luisa Rey

Google’s paid VPN service would become available for free to owners of the Pixel 7 (Pro) at the end of this year. The first owners of these phones are now reporting that they can take advantage of this offer.

What is Google One VPN?

A VPN connection is a secure private connection. You can browse without using your own IP address. That is your own unique address on the internet. Benefits of using such a VPN include anonymity and security. For example, your IP address and location are not visible to everyone, and hackers and cybercriminals can be stopped. This is useful, for example, if you are on a public Wi-Fi connection, such as at an airport or in a café. Some people also use a VPN to access sports streams that are location dependent.
