Hi there, I love to see that this project has been open sourced, I think it's great for transparency

Are there any plans to provide a client for use on Windows/Linux? Or instructions to allow customers to connect using another open source VPN client?

Having One VPN is working fine on my Pixel 6 / Android 12, but when I reboot the device, the VPN is not automatically connected, and the "Block internet if VPN disconnects" feature is not working as well because I guess the app is not fired correctly on boot.

Other thing, why we cannot set the One VPN to "Always ON":

Error Code in terminal: Unable to create FlutterView; no MTLDevice or MTLCommandQueue

The google VPN is not compatible with Open Core Legacy Patcher -- tens of thousands of mac users who use this software to keep their macs updated will not work with the google VPN due to its usage of flutter.

I recommend google investigates this and improves the codebase for compatibility, as flutter is not the best usage for VPNs on mac, all competitors (NORD, IVPN, Proton, Cyberghost etc) their VPN services all function correctly, therefore this makes googles VPN obsolete vs competition.

I would position this as a huge priority as users with virtual machines will run into this issue aswell due to flutter.
Please improve MAC OSX Compatibility.

Another work around (and additional suggestion) is to allow binding of the VPN service to routers; IE Asus routers (VPN Fusion) this in turn would be a great workaround as we can then assign this to devices.

Additionally google should open up this VPN service to allow binding for different countries; to not allow this when its been standard in the VPN industry for decades is a priority to add in.

Hi - is there any guidance information for service providers to ensure we can optimise for users on the Google One VPN (e.g. identify and not block requests/connections from the VPN!) similar to that provided by Apple for Private Relay:

The current google one apk doesnt install on google tv chromecast 4k or HD, please make a VPN client for these devices.

The Google One VPN on my iOS device drops its connection & rejoins multiple times per hour, seemingly without cause. It does not matter whether I am on WiFi or cellular, it seems to happen at indeterminate intervals. It is not related to access point (AP) or cellular tower hopping, as there is only one AP on my home network. Sometimes the connection drops and does not rejoin. When this happens I have to navigate into Settings and then disable and reenable the VPN. VPN on Demand is enabled in Settings.

My macOS device does not experience this issue, only my iPhone.

Device: iPhone 13 mini
iOS version: 17.2.1
Model: MNF93LL/A
App version: 1.66

Every time you turn on the VPN switch, the VPN configuration will be added. The software didn't have this problem before, but it appeared after upgrading to the latest version, and other people also had this problem.

Google VPN Config doc.

With VPN enabled, iOS device cannot AirDrop to Mac. The Mac is able to discover the iOS device, but the iOS device cannot discover the Mac. Disabling the VPN makes the Mac device discoverable.

It seems the IP address used for the second DNS is wrong 8.8.8.4 instead of 8.8.4.4

https://github.com/google/vpn-libraries/blob/main/krypton/session.cc#L327

  AddDns("8.8.8.4", TunFdData::IpRange::IPV4, 32,
         tun_fd_data->add_tunnel_dns_addresses());

Soooooooo I locked my sim with metro if anyone can help id rlly appreciate it cuz I rlly don't wanna go in last time I was crying my eyes out cuz the abusing guy i was wit smashed my phone so if any one could it would mean alot

This VPN BREAKS DNS functionality in windows 11, it locks the system DNS to google DNS servers under the network settings.

1. Settings -> Network & Internet -> Ethernet
   Leave this open, and set on Automatic DHCP.
2. Connect to Google VPN, it will change your DNS setting to manual google DNS servers.
3. Disconnect, and keep an eye on the settings window we left opened, it will stay stuck to the google DNS settings, not the automatic DHCP, breaking ANY dns functionality of your computer.

Even after a restart, closing the google VPN app, or disconnecting the DNS settings are stuck on a manual assignment.
This is unacceptable. In order to use the google one vpn, one needs to manually go into network settings and toggle back on the auto assignment.

This is a serious issue, it happens on all windows 11 computers ive tested.
MAJOR ISSUE. Please address when an ETA to fix this will be done.

Why is this a huge issue? If you use TLS or Encrypted DNS the google 8.8.8.8 will break this configuration.
I use encrypted dns with ECH, with google none of this is available putting my security at risk when the vpn is off.
If you have custom dns for work, firewalls, or family safety/filtering - again the vpn will break it.
This was causing a huge headache for me but i discovered the google VPN has a huge bug with not reseting DNS back into the state it was before turning on.

Best solution is to go into network settings on windows 11 and set it back to what you used on the IPV4/V6 previously.
Note this doesnt do this on mac, only windows.

My internet region is Taiwan. Downloaded the google one vpn on the PC side, logged in the account, clicked to use vpn but he returned not connected to the Internet, after you restore the network connection, the vpn will reconnect.

Nowadays, Google One VPN use bridge as datapath protocol. But this repo only contains ipsec datapath. No one knows the structure of the data packets except Google employees, which poses a threat to the transparency of this repository.

To ensure that all security experts can audit this code and protect user safety, please open-source this code.

Is a Linux client in the works? It's ironic Linux isn't currently supported. Is it also possible to provide authentication details for OpenVPN clients that already ship with most Linux Desktop environments?

Hello how can I install the VPN on my Ubuntu desktop? Is there an app already working or a workaround for that?

Using the latest Windows build from Google One whenever I turn on the VPN I get a BSOD.

It may be related to the fact that I'm using USB Tethering from my Pixel 3a as my internet (which is uses the Hyper-V vEthernet adapter).

The stop code I get is INVALID_MDL_RANGE, I would send a minidump but I think they're corrupted because they fail to open in Visual Studio.
