During the launch keynote, Google touted two features as \u201ccoming soon.\u201d One of those, the free \u201cVPN by Google One\u201d now appears to be rolling out early for Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.<\/p>\n
Effectively the same VPN service that comes with the 2TB tier of the Google One cloud storage plan, we’re now seeing the option appearing earlier than the proposed December timeline on a Pixel 7 Pro retail unit. It was expected to arrive as part of the December Pixel Feature Drop, but it is live on a number of our devices already.<\/p>\n
The Google One VPN is focused on masking your traffic and IP address, reducing online tracking, and providing protection on public Wi-Fi and other unsecured networks. It is only available with \u201celigible\u201d Google Accounts, which does not include Workspace or selected supervised accounts. The company says it \u201cwill never use your VPN connection to track, collect, or sell your online activity.\u201d<\/p>\n
After opening the Google One application, a new splash screen explains that your \u201cPixel comes with VPN by Google One\u201d and that management can be done from within this application. There is also a new section within the \u201cBenefits\u201d tab of the Google One app that provides information on how to access this functionality. <\/p>\n
