> Google notoriously creates VPN tunnels to hide what it is sending and receiving.

I’ve never heard about this, could you provide a source?

No comments I can see there seem to address VPNs; one notes that if you DNS block one of their domains, they connect via IP. But there's no discussion of VPN tunnels. I made sure to view all comments. Do you think you could forward a link that makes that claim?

Unless you just mean that sending data over plain HTTP to these servers is in some sense a VPN tunnel because the resulting servers could forward it elsewhere?

I don’t see the VPN claim either, as expected.

Most HN comments about these topics are plain FUD, and despite mentioning a bunch of intricate networking tools, the commenter still fails to address reality.
