Pixel 8 users are facing connectivity issues, VPN by Google might be to blame
- Several Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro users are facing connectivity issues of late.
- Disabling the built-in VPN seems to address the problem for some.
Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro users in many parts of the world are facing connectivity issues. The problem doesn’t appear to be widespread and predominantly affects those who use the device’s built-in VPN.
According to 9to5Google, multiple user reports on the r/GooglePixel subreddit highlight issues ranging from the inability to access specific apps or websites to complete loss of connectivity. In most cases, disabling the new VPN by Google seems to get users back online. However, the issue also appears to affect users in regions where Google does not offer its VPN service, leaving no option for a temporary fix.
