Google One VPN comes to iOS

Source: Google

If you're an iOS user that has a Google One Premium subscription, you now have access to the VPN service. Google brings the feature to subscribers who pay for 2TB or more of Google One storage in 18 countries, including Canada. As The Verge noted, the feature is similar to Apple's Private Relay service for all its paid iCloud plans. The VPN service works to keep your IP and internet traffic private, but it won't let you get an IP address in another country, which potentially unlocks different shows on streaming services.

Google's VPN service for Android users also gets new features like "safe disconnect," allowing you to shut off internet access if you're disconnected from the VPN to ensure your data is secure. It will also allow you to set certain apps to bypass the VPN on Android devices.

Netflix Games gets Riot's latest 'League of Legends' spinoff

Netflix is adding a couple of titles to its growing lineup of mobile games. We get the League of Legends spinoff, Hextech Mayhem, and Dungeon Dwarves this time. Hextech Mayhem is a rhythm runner that features characters and locales from League of Legends. It's developed by Choice Provisions and published by Riot's Riot Forge publishing arm. The game has already launched on consoles and the PC and is now the most prominent game available on the streaming service.

Meanwhile, Hyper Hippo's Dungeon Dwarves is an idle dungeon crawler that will continue to play if the app isn't active. You control a party of five dwarves who beat down walls and monsters to reclaim their underground home bit by bit. When you aren't playing, the dwarves will continue their expedition, rewarding you with loot and weapons when you return. Both games are free to play and ad-free on Android and iOS. All you need is an active Netflix subscription.
