Also: The 5 best VPN services Prior to today’s announcement, Google’s VPN feature was only included with Premium 2TB plans, which started at $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year. Going forward, the VPN tool will be available starting with the $1.99 per month/100GB Basic plan and up. You can use VPN by Google One on Android, iOS, Windows and Mac – and you can even share VPN access with up to five people who are also part of your Google One plan. In addition to bringing Google VPN to more subscribers, Google is also launching a new dark web monitoring service. The new service will scan the dark web – which requires specialized tools to access, but is where personal information is often sold and traded – for your personal information, including your name, address, email, phone number and social security number. If your information is found, Google One will notify you, and then provide information on what steps you can take.

The dark web monitoring feature will start rolling out to One subscribers over the coming weeks.
