To be honest I don't think anyone will really care too much about Google killing a VPN product there's probably companies out there better suited to offer this as a service. I think the one that still bothers me and I think was a big mistake considering there cloud computing platform was Google Domains. Wasn't that profitable product and perfectly suited to be fully integrated into GCP?
Edit: As someone else has stated it's good that they try things and try different products and I think it's good that they shutdown products that they are not good at running
- blitzar 2y agoallegedly squarespace paid $180mil for it and there were 10mil domains registerd through the service. Even on googles scale that is a decent side hustle.

- aranw 2y agoDoesn't Google live and breath domains? They index the internet and have Google Cloud Platform so surely Domains should be part of Google's core businesses?
- altdataseller 2y agoIndexing websites and managing website domains are separate things
- zoklet-enjoyer 2y agoI care. It's annoying that they're getting rid of this because I use it so my company can't spy on my Internet browsing.
