It's bundled with Google One, so if you pay for more Google Drive storage you get it for free. tbf it's a shit VPN that doesn't even let you choose your country. I could see it used when on public wifi, but other than that I don't see the point.

If you really just are worried about China or Russia spying on you and definitely don't want them to see what you write then that'd be a good option.

Russian, Chinese or Iranian dissidents might be happy to use one hah.
