[dba-Tech] Google One VPN

[Bryan Carbonnell]

We have used NordVPN quite a bit. When in Canada we need to access US sites
with a US address. And when we're in the US need to access Canadian sites
with a Canadian IP address.

So far we haven't seen any issues with lag on the laptops or the phones.

I just set up Google One's VPN on my phone to give or a try and are how it
compares. No sense in paying for 1 is we get one included in something else
we pay for.
