What do VPNs really do?
VPNs funnel your data through encrypted tunnels to private servers, masking your IP address in the process.
Websites you visit will see the IP address of the server you connected to, rather than your device’s. This makes it harder for them to track your online activities.
A VPN like Surfshark enhances your privacy online and allows you to unblock content only available in other countries by connecting to servers located there.
Surfshark's antivirus & VPN package, Surfshark One, is a great example of a VPN with additional tools, and it's extremely good value for money at just $3.49 per month.
VPNs also make it nigh-on impossible for your ISP to throttle your bandwidth, so you can enjoy faster and more reliable internet.

Security and Policy
Google One VPN Desktop offers robust security features to protect your online activity. The VPN encrypts and masks your internet traffic, making it difficult for others to track your IP address or access your data.
The VPN is available on Mac and Windows systems, with desktop support in 22 countries, including the US, Canada, and the UK. You'll need at least macOS Big Sur or Windows 10 to use the service.
Google's VPN requires a minimum of the $10 per month 2TB Google One plan, and you can share access with up to five other people. This plan is a good option if you're concerned about exposing your IP address or using a public hotspot.
Google has independent bodies audit its VPN, and it shares the source code for its app libraries to ensure transparency. This level of transparency is reassuring, especially when it comes to online security.
The VPN does collect some data, but it's aggregated, which means individual users cannot be identified. Google collects VPN tunnel uptime, VPN tunnel setup latency, and VPN tunnel failure rate data, among other performance-related information, for monitoring and debugging purposes.
