Google Cloud VPN Reviews & Product Details

✅ High Availability Architecture Excellence

The HA VPN implementation delivers exceptional resilience through dual-interface, dual-IP configuration providing 99.99% SLA availability. The automatic IP allocation from separate address pools ensures true redundancy, while BGP-based dynamic routing facilitates seamless failover scenarios. This architectural approach surpasses many competitors offering only 99.9% SLA guarantees.

✅ IPv6 Support with Dual-Stack Flexibility

Unlike Classic VPN, HA VPN provides comprehensive IPv6 support including dual-stack configurations. The implementation supports multiple BGP session types (IPv4, IPv6, and multiprotocol BGP) with configurable next-hop addresses. This future-proofs network infrastructure while maintaining backward compatibility.

✅ Performance Characteristics

Each tunnel supports up to 3 Gbps throughput with 250,000 packets per second capacity. The bandwidth scales effectively across multiple tunnels, and traffic remains within Google’s production network when connecting between Google Cloud resources. Performance metrics consistently show minimal latency impact during normal operations.

Cryptographic Customization

✅ The platform supports extensive IKE cipher configuration for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 negotiations. Support for AEAD and non-AEAD ciphers, combined with IKEv2 implementation, provides robust security customization options meeting compliance requirements.

✅ Integration with Google Cloud Ecosystem

Seamless integration with Cloud Router, VPC networks, and Network Connectivity Center creates a cohesive networking architecture. The service integrates effectively with Private Google Access for on-premises hosts and supports GRE traffic for SASE and SD-WAN implementations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The multi-component pricing model combining gateway charges, tunnel costs, and data transfer fees creates budgeting challenges. Hourly gateway charges vary by tunnel count and region, while IPsec traffic incurs additional data transfer costs that can accumulate significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud VPN securely extends your peer network to google network through an IPsec VPN tunnel. Traffic travelling between the two networks is encrypted by one VPN gateway, then decrypted by another VPN gateway. This protects your data as it travels over the internet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Cloud VPN lacks many features that are common and to be expected with most VPN providers, you do not have location or region control, there is transparency and privacy concerns and overall it's just not very flexible, you don't have full control over settings like other VPNs would give you.
