Trusting Google over your VPN? Not in my Universe.
Too bad iPhone doesn't have OrBot. Free VPN over Tor. 👍👍

Opposed to trusting who? Some random company that claims to be private and was somehow audited? Google already has access to my phone's data.
We all need to be more proactive. Get off of Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Here's what I do. . .
Little by little, over then next few months, or next year, start moving to these options.
- Use a more privacy based web browser.
(LibreWolf and/or Brave Browser)
- Buy a DeGoogled phone, or DeGoogle one yourself. Use a Linux phone once they're ready.
- Buy a computer w/Linux, or install Linux yourself on a Linux compatible computer.
- Get a privacy focused email provider. Proton, StartMail, Reagan. com, etc.
- Run Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) on both your phone & Linux computer.
- Use a non-intrusive secure chat app for "text" messages. Session, XMPP, Signal
- Run a Nextcloud server for your own online ecosystem. It'll give you contacts, calendar, file share, document collaboration, audio/video conference calls, and more.
- Use a privacy focused search engine that does not feed Ad money back to the tyrannical big tech companies. Brave Search, Mojeek, etc.
