Is Google One VPN Fit For Purpose, Or Just Plain Broken?

I’ve subscribed to Google One since last October, primarily for the cloud storage, but I’ve also endeavoured to make use of the VPN on my Pixel 4a5g.

I quickly found that intermittently (although frequently, >1 time per day), connection to the Internet completely ceases i.e. all Internet-facing apps stop working. If I disable the VPN they all start working again.

I initially reached out to Google support and they advised me to uninstall the Google One app and then re-install. I’ve now done this multiple times over the last few months (clearing cache and data first, to be thorough), but the problem always returns within a day or so.

Am I the only one seeing this issue, or is it known and/or commonplace?

I to have this problem. Don’t even bother using it anymore. So annoying.

Have the same issue, used to work perfectly
