    A private vpn is an oxymoron. Since you tunnel all your data to some server.

    Google and privacy is an oxymoron.

    “Google private vpn” would be a mega oxymoron.

      Not really. What if it’s your VPN? Mine allows me access to my home network, which is its primary focus, but it also obfuscates what my phone is doing online, and blocks trackers.

      (Adguard home and wireguard)

      It also lets me use my phone on 4chan… so there’s that.

        If you’re of the few people on earth to care enough and knows enough to set it’s own vpn, sure. but otherwise, NordVPN gonna still sponsor youtubers and lure people into a false sense of privacy.

    Oh boy, all my internet traffic can be forwarded through Google’s servers? Where do I sign up for this?!

      Makes me cringe thinking of all those years I was using Google DNS, back when I believed that “don’t be evil” shit

    Google’s unbelievably aggressive BS is the just about the only reason I run a VPN. Despite taking extraordinary steps to block them, Google still manages to regularly shove their BS into my life.

    Google removed “Don’t Be Evil” from their mission statement for a reason.

    At least Google VPN is honest about who tracks you with this VPN, LOL
