I used google vpn on my computer and liked it a lot for its simplicity. But I still have it on the pixel, so I can just use the vpn there and use hotspot on my phone to protect the laptop when im out, so not a huge deal. But I still dont see the reason for getting rid of it. Typical google unfortunately. They dont let things cook long enough. But I still like the google ecosystem, it works well for me.
