When you decide to expand your Google Drive or Google Photos storage, you not only get extra gigabytes, but you also get many extra features with Google One. Recently, Google added a VPN feature to all Google One subscribers. In this article, we want to show you how to enable and use Google One VPN on your iPhone and Android devices.
When trying to use a VPN, we recommend using a premium VPN service as free ones are not always reliable, especially in terms of network speed and privacy. However, now that Google itself has developed a VPN service, you don’t need to look any further if you are a Google One user.

What is Google One VPN?
Google One VPN helps you browse the Internet securely through an encrypted tunnel. This means that Google One masks your IP address, prevents tracking, and keeps your browsing activity safe. This is what most VPN services claim to do. But since this is developed by Google, you get an extra element of trust with regards to privacy and security. Furthermore, Google also claims that they do not store your data when you use their VPN.
However, like other VPN services, you cannot manually switch to a different IP address based on the region. Also, you cannot change the country with Google One VPN. Next, let’s look at some of the requirements to use this feature.
Who can use Google One’s VPN
Google One has released the VPN feature in only 22 countries, namely:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the United States.
So if you’re in any of these countries, you can use Google One VPN with any subscription on your iOS and Android devices. However, you need to download and install the Google One app on your phone. See how to use it in the next section.
How to enable VPN with Google One
To access Google One VPN, you need to download the official app on your Android device or iPhone. You can download the app using the link below.
Step 1: After you install the app, open the app and sign in with a Google account with a Google One subscription.
Step 2: Click Benefits.
Step 3: In the VPN section, tap View details.
Step 4: Turn on the switch for Enable VPN.
That’s all you need to do to enable VPN on the Google One app. You also have the option to snooze the VPN for a selected period of time if you want to use the Internet without it. Next, let’s take a look at a few extra features you can use with a VPN.
Adjust Google One VPN’s Settings
Google One’s VPN may not be the most feature-packed VPN service for your smartphone. However, we can ignore it as it was only recently launched and we are sure that Google will add new features in upcoming updates. But for now, you have two useful features.
If the VPN is disconnected on your device, you can enable the setting while also disabling internet access, leaving your smartphone with no chance to use the internet without the VPN. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Open the Google One app and go to the Benefits tab.
Step 2: In the VPN section, tap View details.
Step 3: Make sure Enable VPN option is enabled and tap on View settings.
Step 4: Turn on the switch for ‘Block internet if VPN is disconnected’.
Step 5: Furthermore, you also have the option to disable VPN for specific apps. All you need to do is tap on ‘Allow apps to bypass VPN’ and select the app from the list. Now, whenever you use that particular app, it will access the Internet without Google One VPN when enabled.
That’s everything you need to know about using Google One VPN on your smartphone. If you have any other questions, check out the FAQ section below.
