realtechnews.com — Speed test: Tor, sponsored by the EFF, and Google?s new beta VPN are both aimed at those of us who want to protect our privacy and rights online. While Google claims that its VPN program is to boost security on wireless networks, it can also be used with wired internet connections to add some more security for the rest of us.

But do you trust Google with your data? Just the fact that they could be storing it even if they don't have bad intentions what about hackers?

I don't understand why people keep comparing Tor and Google VPN...they are two diffrent products made for different things. In terms of anonymity Tor will blow Google VPN out of the water. Speed is not even something that needs to be considered when using both products for their true purpose.

Of course speed is a consideration.

Tor is an anonymous wrapper for all specified network traffic and Google's VPN service is just an encrypted tunnel between a Wi-Fi hotspot and your destination protecting your traffic from potentially being captured / sniffed. THERE IS NO COMPARISON!
