Alphabet Inc’s Google said on few days back that it plans to launch a Virtual Private Network ( VPN ) service for his users, which would be available with certain subscription plans for its Google One cloud storage services which are in few countries right now.
What is VPN?
A virtual private network (VPN) gives you online privacy and anonymity by creating a private network from a public internet connection. VPNs mask your internet protocol (IP) address so your online actions are virtually untraceable. Most important, VPN services establish secure and encrypted connections to provide greater privacy than even a secured Wi-Fi hotspot.
Google said the VPN service will be first roll out in the U.S. in the coming weeks through the Google One app for its Android users and are planning to expand to more countries and to iOS , Windows and Mac operating systems in the coming few months.
