Tech News Chromebooks to get Always-on-VPN attribute shortly |
Virtual Private Networks or VPNs are
one of the best ways to stay safe on the internet. While Google’s Chromebook
laptops support most VPN services. What they lack is a feature that enables
them to stay connected to the service all the time. But that is about to change
as Google is planning to roll out a new feature that will enable users to do
that simply by toggling a button.
Android Police reports that Google is
working on a special feature for Chromebooks that will give users the option to
stay connected to a VPN service all the time. The publication has spotted a
code in the Gerrit that brings the ‘Always-on-VPN’ feature to Chrome OS. You
can give this feature a go if you have a Chromebook running on the latest Dev
or Canary channel build. In addition to that, you will also need a working VPN
connection to use this feature.
The publication has also shared a
screenshot, which displays how this feature would work. The VPN section in the
Chrome OS Settings has a new VPN Preferences section. This section has an
Always-on VPN toggle button. On toggling this button on, you will automatically
be connected to the VPN service. This means that you won’t have to turn on the
service or reboot your device every time.
The VPN Preferences section also has a
VPN Service section that lets you pick the service that you want to choose, in
case you have subscribed to multiple VPN services. If you are using just one
VPN service, you’ll see just one option. In addition to this, you will also get
a ‘Block traffic without VPN’ toggle button that will prompt Chrome OS to block
all traffic unless your Chromebook connects to a VPN service, which would add
another layer of security to the platform.
