True, but I feel like the market for Google’s VPN is people who would NOT otherwise bother to use a VPN at all. They’ll only bother to use this because it’s free and pushed right into their face.
Vastly reduces MITM attacks, and makes your traffic mostly invisible to the internet provider, be it a public WiFi, or a private network at a friend’s house.
The idea of using a VPN by Google seems wrong to me?
“prevent data leakage and ensure that 100% of your data is processed by Google”
I’d definitely not use this
Honestly, they’re pretty good at security. They just are a privacy nightmare.
Security != Privacy
They guard your data with their lives. Other people can’t access it. Only them.
Yes. On the other hand, I guesssss I trust Google more than Verizon or Comcast, so pick your poison.
Or just pick another VPN lol. There’s not just poison on the table.

This isn’t a service for someone who has the knowhow to get their own VPN. It’s so grandmas don’t get their bank accounts hacked while on hotel wifi.
That won’t happen nowadays and if it does, the bank should get sued for not meeting minimal security standards
Devils advocate: if you don’t use a 3rd party VPN already, this provides some additional safety when using random WiFi.
Not the best solution for you, but “OK” for 95% of users.
So what security does a VPN provide now says?
