Do you use? Find helpful? Nah?

I see it comes with the 2TB Google One subscription and that's kinda tempting

Take me for what I am -- who I was meant to be.
And if you give a damn, take me baby, or leave me.

My vpn mobile experience came from trying to use my phone as a mobile hotspot while connected to wifi. Which didnt work so it wasnt useful to me.

What would you use the vpn for?

Consumer VPNs are basically a tax on the tech-illiterate. Most people use them so they can view blacked out sports games and "Canadian Netflix".

Why?
This is what consumer-facing VPNs are advertised to do.
Said VPNs are also creating a MitM attack between you and your destination. The VPN provider can easily collect information and there's no regulation and can basically say anyone has audited them.

He is partially right, creating your own VPN is a breeze, but most people would rather pay for someone else to do it for them.

I find a private relay more secure since even your ISP would have no record of your internet traffic in those cases (just that you are using a relay).

First thing that immediately comes to mind is vnc over an ssh tunnel over a corporate vpn which is something I do for work frequently. Only thing your ISP knows in that occasion is that you're talking to some corporate VPN endpoint, which is quite frankly, none of their business.

But like, I have zero reason to be "afraid" of Comcast.
