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.

NSA VPN

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.
