Update regarding this repo

This repo contains source code for the client libraries used in the VPN by Google One. It has been announced that VPN by Google One will sunset in June 2024. Due to the planned turndown of the VPN, the repo will no longer be updated.

This repo will be archived on June 20, 2024, coinciding with the planned turndown date.

Overview

VPN client library that provides a secure, encrypted tunnel for connected devices

Introduction

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are an important tool for users that want to add a layer of security and privacy to their online activity. It is important for users to be able to trust that their VPN is implemented with the right encryption technology and with sound security and privacy. To that end, Google provides a reference, open source implementation for the VPN used in VPN by Google One.

The VPN libraries in this repo are currently adopted by the Google One Android App as of October 2020, the Google One iOS App as of February 2022, and the Google One macOS and Windows App as of December 2022.

Current status

The VPN client library is currently available for Android and iOS, as well as for macOS and Windows clients.

Important considerations: The source code in its current form may not be buildable and is meant as a reference implementation that is not intended for direct adoption into other client applications given the dependencies that exist with other parts of the system. While the team that maintains the project at Google made a best effort to ensure parity between the open source library and the version implemented across various clients, we cannot offer explicit guarantees
