Guess I have missed to make a prediction of such service from the past 2 articles about the possible Google products. Anyway, I have just come across what I guess to be another new service (Yup, another one!) from Google, Google WiFi. We can use this free service with an additional service, Google Secure Access, too.
Before you head over to the page to download the Google Secure Access, for your information, Google Secure Access currently only available at certain locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. By the way, San Francisco City will be going entirely wireless in near future.
What the new service will do is to receive the internet traffic from our PC and encrypt it while it is sending through Google’s servers then the data will be sent back through Google servers to our computer. By doing so, Google Secure Access allows us to establish a more secure connection while using Google WiFi.
Now, even WiFi service also Google took a step into the industry, let’s see what else the giant search engine company will do the next. :)

When I clicked the Google Wifi link above, it brings me to the Google Secure Access download page. Are they both the same then?
Yup, both the services are closely related.
Fyi, currently only a few areas in the US has Google WiFi, and the Google Secure Access is a free service that can be use in conjunction to the WiFi service Google is providing. :)
Oh i see…I get it now. But only available in US…how sad.
Well, as Google has promised, there will be more areas covered by Google WiFi in coming months. Hopefully, the service will be available in the UK soon. :)
Yup…hopefully. And in Malaysia too… =)
Yup, thanks. :)
Who says Secure Access can only be used in San Francisco? I used it this afternoon. Did some traceroutes with it. The VPN server is running on a Cogent line.
ErRR… Google Secure Access FAQ stated so.
However, it stated this as well :-
Guess we can still use Google Secure Access without accessing Google WiFi. Thanks Paul.
Anyway, I suppose you were not using Google WiFi too, right? :p
How to use… I am in Malaysia. LOL!
check my IP address. i am currently posting while i am connected through google’s vpn.
This is what I got. Seems like we can somehow bypass the proxy server of streamyx, huh? :-?
Great !! How’s the surfing speed? Any improvement?
Guess I also want t try it out.
quickly login now and try, for the past 2 days i couldn’t login.
speed is capped at about 512kbps
Then, I got Error code: 0x800702a6. ArRrr…. :(
Guess I will need to try it regularly and how it works.
