For those not familiar, VPNs allow you to browse the web more securely by encrypting your connection and hiding your IP address. Your data goes through a VPN server before it hits the wider web, where it\u2019s encrypted against potential hackers or others looking to track your information.<\/p>\n Google is also offering one-on-one \u2018Pro Sessions<\/a>\u2018 for users to \u201clearn about VPNs and how to stay safer online.\u201d These appointments are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.<\/p>\n Of course, there are plenty of other VPN services out there, and Google\u2019s doesn\u2019t seem to be particularly exceptional or unique \u2014 at the moment, it seems to be more about convenience for Google One subscribers than anything else.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, VPN access will only be available for Android users to start(in the coming weeks), but the company plans to expand the service to iOS, Windows, and Mac in the coming months.<\/p>\n For more gear, gadget, and hardware news and reviews, follow Plugged on Twitter<\/a> and Flipboard<\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n Published October 30, 2020 \u2014 04:13 UTC <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/10\/VPN_by_Google_One_blog_UI.gif\")
