Google has released the One VPN For Mac app which was previously only available on mobile. Google One VPN is Google’s own VPN software that encrypts your connections for greater privacy online.
However, Google’s One VPN For Mac does not allow you to access content in other countries to get around geo-restrictions.
The best VPN software for Mac like NordVPN allow you to connect to servers in different countries so that you can access Netflix in another country or watch geo-locked live sports for example.
