![]() How does Google VPN stack up against the competition? However, we expect many users simply won't be able to get over the apparent contradiction of a company that makes a profit by analysing data providing software to evade just that. ![]() Well, the clients are open-source, and have been independently audited, which is a good start. Seeing as one of the most popular VPN uses is to avoid Google trackers and targeted ads, can an in-house Google product really be trusted to do the same? This is the big question everyone's asking. And, combined with its current Android-only status, it may well find itself both priced and performed out of the market. That may be a positive for some, but for many it simply won't offer enough. ![]() Otherwise, it looks very simple to use, but doesn't offer nearly the amount of features dedicated providers do. Google states in its press release that it uses a proprietary protocol rather than the industry-standard OpenVPN, but claims to be planning on integrating IPsec soon, with the possibility of WireGuard support in the future. You can't even select which server location to connect to. It's very much a back-to-basics VPN with a single switch and no settings.
