    A VPN doesn’t really protect you from Google though. They get their data through trackers, which doesn’t get blocked by a VPN. Obviously I’d still not use a Google VPN, because who knows what they’d do with that data

      No one knows what any VPN provider would do with that data so that’s not google exclusive.

          All the traffic is now attributed to you, like it was before your self hosted VPN.

            That’s a fact. But, in the first place, VPNs weren’t invented for privacy.

              It also depens on what informations the host has about you. Bare minimum is the IP, but it isn’t really an identification

                If you’re hosting a VPN in your house, all traffic is going to/from your device and your home encrypted, and your home and the isp unencrypted. Since it’s in your home, everything you do on the VPN tunnel can be seen on the other side by your isp.
