The VPN itself is secure, but it depends of an Google One account (not free). And respect of this, I found this in the FAQ page
This mean, that my Screenshot isn't a Joke, even if you use this VPN which certainly protect you from third party tracking, Google remain logging your data, because the VPN use it's own Google servers with your Google One account, not free public servers, like other VPN. It's a similar scam like the Opera "VPN". Nice try, Google
If you want a good VPN, use Nord VPN, or if you want a good trustworthy free VPN, use Proton VPN free (no logs, no limits in amount of data nor speed, encrypted at military level, but limited to 23 servers in three countries and use in only one device (PC or Mobile) in the free version), Proton is also OpenSource.
At least, if you only need a VPN to protect your mobile in a public WiFi, Calyx VPN also maybe enough, it's FOSS, encrypted, no logs, no account needed, no limits, but only one server from the Calyx institute, a non-profit education and research organization. Download from F-Droid.
