The idea of using a VPN by Google seems wrong to me?

I'd definitely not use this
26 0 ReplyHonestly, they're pretty good at security. They just are a privacy nightmare.
Security != Privacy

Yes. On the other hand, I guesssss I trust Google more than Verizon or Comcast, so pick your poison.
16 0 ReplyOr just pick another VPN lol. There's not just poison on the table.
2 0 ReplyTrue, 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.

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.
16 0 ReplyThat 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.
14 0 ReplySo what security does a VPN provide now says?
3 0 ReplyVastly 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.
