Google keeps the Pixel Buds Pro 2 around with fresh features and a $40 discount

Google's Pixel 11 series may focus on software enhancements, but online security remains crucial. While Google's Pixel VPN has been available for years, it hasn't seen significant updates recently. In contrast, IPVanish offers a cost-effective solution, priced at just $2.19 per month for a two-year commitment, totaling $52.56 upfront.

This plan provides unlimited simultaneous connections, WireGuard speeds of over 700Mbps, access to servers in over 150 locations, and 3GB of eSIM data for secure travel. IPVanish's Android VPN app boasts a user-friendly interface, reminiscent of a Bond movie with its green and black design. The app features a prominent connect button, easy access to additional tools, and clearly laid out VPN settings, making it beginner-friendly.

While IPVanish may not offer the absolute fastest speeds, it remains a reliable choice, particularly for streaming. However, some users have reported issues with specific streaming platforms like Prime Video, US YouTube, and Disney+ Canada. Among other affordable options, NordVPN, Proton VPN, and Surfshark are also viable alternatives, albeit at a higher cost.
