          I’m sure it will come, just a matter of time.

            @akula: the only "benefit" that shows up is the advanced photo editing.

            Edit: oh I just got your question, no I have not looked at if their office apps go premium. I can check tho.

          Any of the family member accounts in Australian that aren't the Turkish account should get it. I did it via the steps I added in the main Google One post, and have access to the VPN.

        • atlas on 10/03/2023 - 20:10

      Yeah not that simple, process doesn't work, Google is smarter than that with their One subscription. Furthermore, those that do get it to work are stuck with a Turkey Google account for the entire family for at least one year. The only way you can do it is by adding in a new account from scratch and have them as a non-leader family member (if you can even get the turkey prices to show up). Most people just get a free subscription anyway from all the rewards credits :)

  • Wonka on 10/03/2023 - 07:40

    Australia is in the list of supported VPN countries but Turkey is not. Not sure if this feature will be region locked based on the purchasing country?

    • Scrooge McDeal on 10/03/2023 - 07:42

        as I replied above, have one an can confirm, you won't get VPN.

        I actually reached out to Google about that and they did say I don't see the VPN due to my payment location/method.

          Yeah I was checking as well and come to this [google support page] (https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/7582172?hl=en&co…) as extracted below:

          Where VPN by Google One is available
          VPN by Google One is available in select countries or regions, and is included for eligible Google One members. This feature is available in these locations:

          Austria
          Australia
          Belgium
          Canada

            @X-BoY: yeah, what I thought would happen was because I was physically located in Australia, it would show up.

            But apparently the services provided are based on region. I wonder if this means they are storing my data at a different place than otherwise too.

          • uncoelite on 10/03/2023 - 10:20

            @X-BoY:

            except china.

            list of supported countries when travelling

            • FatTofu on 10/03/2023 - 11:07

              @uncoelite: Why not China?

              It is exactly where VPN is essential to be able to access Google

              • uncoelite on 10/03/2023 - 11:32

                @FatTofu: google search results seem to indicate google vpn doesn't work in china. not exactly sure why, but i assume either because it's a google service going to google ips, or it uses a common vpn protocol that might be blocked in china.

                either way google doesn't list china as a supported country when travelling (as per link)

                • Bii on 10/03/2023 - 16:38

                  @uncoelite: I think VPN in China is not allowed by law and purposely Google services are what they have been avoided for years

                  That's how China kept their kids from outsiders for at least 10 years. Even iPhone has to have a China version App Store

                • gstfree on 10/03/2023 - 23:10

                  @uncoelite: I personally tested Surfshark and Nord works in China but you need multiple trial of different servers.
                  Best option to access Internet in China is $20 for 10GB roaming data from Optus prepaid. No VPN needed and easy to buy.

    The VPN isn’t actually good right? I mean you can even select the country you want to connect to. If you want to select which country to connect to then best use a dedicated service, otherwise aside from the storage option, I don’t understand why you’d get this deal with google one.

        +12

        Well that's just not true. The best VPN providers are independently audited to prove that they don't create any logs or identifiable data - they don't have any data that they can actually sell. Even if you pay for a dedicated IP, they use a token based system so they can't see which user has each IP.

        And they aren't audited by dodgy firms either, I believe PIA was audited by Deloitte recently for theirs

    Anyone who's concerned about their online privacy won't be using a VPN from Google….

    I was at a security event where a representative from one of Australia's intelligence agencies was giving a talk about online privacy and his only suggestion for a secure VPN was Mullvad. One of the reasons was because you don't give any information over when you sign up. You can even post a cash-filled envelope to them for your subscription.

    • vikramhkumar on 10/03/2023 - 08:57

      What if the cash-filled envelope get lost or Mullvad say that they did not receive it ? how to prove it and would that also be some sort of tracking its for your account?

    Trusting Google to respect anyones privacy is absurd as their whole business model is based around monetising user data.

    One use case I can think of for the Google One VPN is for increasing security (but not privacy) when using an unsecured wireless connection, such as the free WIFI at many airports, hotels and parks etc.

    I guess it could also be used on a work network which allows BYOD to stop the workplace network administrators from snooping on your online activities.

    If you already have a dedicated VPN service which you trust (within reason), then I can see little benefit.

  • cvaz on 10/03/2023 - 09:08

    Hey contacted Google and they replied : “ If members who are on 2 TB plans claim to have bought 2 TB for the VPN benefit only, you may offer eligible members an appeasement. Learn more about eligibility and how to offer an appeasement.
    From March 8–20, 2023, if members with 100 GB and 200 GB plans ask why they don't have VPN by Google One yet, inform them that VPN features are still in roll out.
    During the March 8–20, 2023 roll out, members might find VPN in their profile but be unable to use the feature. Inform users that while the VPN feature rolls out, there may be a one-day delay between when the feature appears in their profile and when it’s available to use.”

    For those who have Google play gift cards, perhaps use it with caution. Somehow, after I enabled this VPN, Google thought I was outside Australia and it rejected my gift cards. After hours of chats and many of back and forth with Google support, finally it worked again.

    I initially thought when this VPN is enabled, I'll still be accessing from within Australia. But maybe that's not how it works
