Google's own VPN service spotted in android lollipop 5.1

The 5.1 update was the follow up to the lollipop 5.0.1 update which has various bugs. 5.1 features a number of bug fixes and some UI tweaks.

But recently a new google service is been spotted. Although it is not functioning it appears that google is working on a VPN service.

You can also see this by going into app list in settings ( need 5.1 lollipop version ). After making it appears to be a VPN service ( a VPN or virtual private network is a tunnel which protects your ID if you're using an open WiFi connection ). The connections doesn't seem to work till now.

This could be a part of alleged Google's carrier service which also includes use of open WiFi networks. This is merely an assumption it might be an incomplete project that we might not see working soon or at all.
