> “...you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that others can’t see your online activity," Google's blog post says. "That includes Google—our VPN is designed so that your traffic isn’t tied to your Google account or phone number.”
It doesn’t mention logging the traffic (even metadata) and what it would do with the logs. Any VPN service that you don’t run yourself requires you to trust the provider.
Centralized (and large or widespread) services by companies remains a concern, as with many online platforms and services. Would I trust Google more than my ISP or some random VPN provider? Very likely, yes. But this is still worrying.
