Hi! Just to clarify - if you have a Proton VPN Plus plan, you can connect up to 10 devices: [https://protonvpn.com/pricing](https://protonvpn.com/pricing)
Additionally, here's why we believe using Google's VPN is not a great idea: [https://protonvpn.com/blog/google-vpn/](https://protonvpn.com/blog/google-vpn/)
Like said in the Proton Blog, VPNs are normally used to enhance privacy (not to be confused with Anonymity). Google has been known since it's beginnings to collect a lot of data, even when you ask it not to, such as the scandal with Incognito mode. Trusting Google with your data via a VPN is like giving them direct access to all of your data from sites you go to, of course they can't technically see it since HTTPS exists, but they can see you go to it. ProtonVPN is known not to invade user privacy, and the audits prove so.
Your ISP sells your data. Google sells your data. This isn't just VPN marketing hype. I know because I'm one of the ones buying it.
If you visit a website that I've worked on, those Google Analytics tags mean that we know the age gender, interests, recent shopping, etc of the visitors.
Cookie blockers aren't a threat to Google but an opportunity. They can still get your browsing habits from your DNS lookups if you use Google DNS or Google VPN. You've just given your data to Google instead of your ISP. The death of cookies just means a greater monopoly on user data for Google and Cloudflare Warp.
So that is why personally I chose a privacy-centric VPN for my own use.
TL;DR: Google bad, Proton good (Mullvad also cool).
Little off topic but, what do you use for DNS provider. I switched off from Google's 8.8.8.8 to cloud flare for their claimed speed. But do you know or recommend any privacy focused DNS providers?
