Idk... maybe not great for privacy but I just test it (I have been a subscriber for a while and didn't know there was a VPN) and it bypasses my country blocks of certain piracy pages so so far it's kind of usefull.
Just be careful with that. If Google is logging your sessions, then your country's government can request that data. The idea that Google wouldn't keep logs is laughable.
Sure, I don't care in my case tough. It's not illegal to access them even tough they are blocked.
