> What does the VPN log?

> In order to provide peace of mind for our users that their activity is private from the VPN operator and from potential attackers, VPN by Google One does not log user activity on the network or other information that could reveal personally identifiable information about them. The following data is NOT logged by the VPN for a given user:

● Network traffic, including DNS

● IP addresses of the devices connecting to the VPN

● Bandwidth utilized by an individual user

● Connection timestamps by user

So if I'm reading that correctly, they DO log who's using which IP address at which time. Which makes sense for abuse tracking, but means this really isn't the service to use for torrents.

EDIT: actually, from the whitepaper [0] it sure looks like they don't even get that much - you authenticate with one set of servers and then get a token to pass to the VPN tunnel servers via 'RSA Blind Signing', and so the tunnel servers never know the account that they're proxying data for. That's actually pretty awesome, if the service as implemented matches the service as described.
