"Having trouble getting VPN by Google One to work: Thanks I figured it out in the end anyway and it was more about being able to stream from other countries as I am in Canada and we often have to wait a while longer for releases up here. But that is a good point thank you!"

You are welcome.

Excellent job troubleshooting!

"I mean there are a million 1 star VPNs on the App store and they all have terrible reviews and I have this for free from have a google one account so thought I would try it out. Anyway if it was far anything nefarious I would just use Tor ;p"

Based on Personal Experience:

VPNs are services that a paid for. On a PC, VPNs are ideal for everyday users. I, for one, have to use it on a PC while at work(Norton). At home, there is no VPN installed --and I have no plans for it.

So, what to use...

Scan with Malwarebytes for Mac:

Start with running a scan for malware, using Malwarebytes for Mac and remove what is found. Perhaps something was installed that made this occur. Remove what is found from the quarantine. Malware is short for: Malicious Software, which makes you computer act in a mislead manor. Malwarebytes is designed by longtime users of these forums, making it the only reliable Security Software for Macs.

Downloads:

1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
2. Malwarebytes Uninstalle

Avoid VPNs:

Security Software just get in the way on a Mac, and this is a pure example of how and why. So, avoid using one, unless required for scool, work, and such.
