Google One is a cloud storage service that has been in the market since 2018, although so far it has not grown much in popularity throughout the world. To improve its position, it has made headlines for offering a VPN tool to its customers, something that residents of Spain can take advantage of this week.
Although the possibility of masking the Internet connection can be used in the United States for a few months, this week it was officially announced that Google One VPN has expanded to five European countries, among which is Spain . The only necessary requirement is to be subscribed to one of the best plans of the service.

The operation of the tool is designed to hide the IP address and thus reduce the chances of being tracked online, at the same time that it gives peace of mind to the community by ensuring that they do not record network traffic, including DNS, the IP addresses of the devices that connect to the VPN , the bandwidth used, and the connection timestamps.
In this way, the only thing that Google collects from its users’ browsing through VPN includes secondary data such as aggregate performance, aggregate VPN tunnel uptime, and aggregate total bandwidth, all with the intention of maintaining a “debugging and performance monitoring” of the service.
With this it is clear that Google does not intend to provide its users with the simulation of an Internet connection from another country, but rather to improve user security. And it is indicated that the Google One VPN will not work if you travel to an unsupported country , which currently are the vast majority (only works in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom and United States).
Those interested in taking advantage of the Google One VPN will not have to pay anything additional beyond being subscribed to the Google One plan from 2 TB of cloud storage . It currently has a price of 9.99 euros per month or 99.99 euros per year.
It is worth emphasizing that at the moment the VPN only works on the Android operating system by accessing the official App for said mobiles , but it is ensured that they are already working on the launch of a client for iOS, Windows and Mac by the end of the year.
