Hi folks Any current recommendations for a VPN provider? I procrastinated on this but would like to get one now after some privacy updates by my ISP that I interpret as bad news. NordVPN still ok? Any new recommendations? Cheers Tom On Thu, 14 Oct 2021 at 23:40, Grant Castner <gcastner@outlook.com.au> wrote:

Had a quick look for Google One. It asked me to switch to my personal Google account, I get this: Sign in with your personal account You're currently signed in to your Workspace Account. To access Google One, switch to your personal Google Account. So yet again I discover I can't use Google products because I'm paying for a different, incompatable, Google Product. (which lets be honest they are more than likely going to sunset if I look at it wrong) Checking the Plans for Google One, it looks like the Premium plan gives up to five shared member access, and the VPN product. Does not seem to be on any other plans, just the Premium. Oh lovely, looking at what else you get for the Google One Premium plan, is Google Workspace Premium. That does not seem right as I'm on Google Workspace (formerly G-suite) and that's the one I have all kinds of problems with. ie not able to use Family Plans on it... I went with this originally soley so I could use my own domain name. Do any of the Google One plans by chance allow your own domain names or is that still restricted to their crippled Business account plans? Honestly, if there were not a few core products that I do actually use, I'd migrate to something less broken. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one here with this G-Suite pain, I've seen it mentioned here before. cheers, Stephen ________________________________ From: David Connors via ozdotnet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Sent: Friday, 24 March 2023 12:51 PM To: ozDotNet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Cc: David Connors <david@connors.com> Subject: Re: [OT] VPN I have google one for the family.

A correction on my last email, the VPN showed on the comparison for Premium only, but seems you can add it to any Google One subscription. Costs you extra (except Premium where it must be included). ________________________________ From: Stephen Price via ozdotnet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Sent: Friday, 24 March 2023 2:30 PM To: ozDotNet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Cc: Stephen Price <stephen@lythixdesigns.com> Subject: Re: [OT] VPN Had a quick look for Google One.

Using is such a dirty word. I still have my emails there, yes. Each time I go to look elsewhere (was considering importing all my emails into my Microsoft 365 business email account) something blocks me. My wife (personal emails on same Workspace account/domain) did not want her work emails and personal emails in the same inbox. Fair enough... Perhaps I should play the "it's cheaper to have a single inbox" card. 🙂 I think I also considered porting it into my personal Outlook/Microsoft account email and saw they are removing the ability to have personal domain names on that. Oh and it HAS to be created and managed through GoDaddy. That's not cool, forcing me to use a particular provider for my domain. I'm not porting my domain to GoDaddy who I do not use. I'm currently in same boat as Tom, waiting for something to present itself, staying where I am resigned to poor alternatives. ________________________________ From: David Connors via ozdotnet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Sent: Friday, 24 March 2023 3:40 PM To: ozDotNet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Cc: David Connors <david@connors.com> Subject: Re: [OT] VPN Are you using google apps / workspace still?
