One of today’s best VPN apps, however, recently took this feature a step further. ExpressVPN doesn’t just spoof your real IP.

Hot on the heels of the debut of the Google Pixel Watch 3 during August 13’s Made by Google event, Google Fitbit and Peloton have announced a “multi-year partnership” with benefits to subscribers of either platforms.  Starting in early September, Fitbit users will get access to a limited number of fitness classes from Peloton.
