      “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

      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

      Yes. On the other hand, I guesssss I trust Google more than Verizon or Comcast, so pick your poison.

          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.

      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.

          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.
