The VPN service from Google called Google One VPN is coming to the Netherlands and Belgium. With a VPN (virtual private network) you can browse without using your own IP address. This allows you to arm yourself against hackers, but also watch streaming content that is actually only intended for another country.
Google One VPN
Google One VPN can help you browse, stream, as well as download content on a secure and private connection. This is useful, for example, if you are on a public Wi-Fi connection, such as at an airport or in a cafe. In addition, you are less likely to be tracked online, because you can keep your IP address hidden with such a VPN.
Many people use VPNs not only for security, but also for convenience to, for example, see American content from their favorite streaming service or to access sports streams that depend on location. Google One VPN is only one provider, because there are more. However, it was initially only available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and Germany.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Now the service is also coming to the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. Good news for Google users during this Cybersecurity Awareness month.
Google writes even more about cybersecurity in the announcement: “Protecting your privacy starts with the most advanced digital security. That’s why we make our products secure by default and help keep your data safe with customized recommendations in Security Check, an easy, personalized way to secure your Google Account. So whether you’re browsing the web, managing your inbox or sharing vacation photos, we’ll keep you safe with automatic protections built right into our products.”
