Taking The Private Out Of Virtual Private Networking

Following up on Google Secure Access, it's worth noting the license agreement that comes with the Windows installer:
We have the right to monitor, intercept and disclose any transmissions over or using our facilities, and to provide user information, or use records, and other related information under certain circumstances (for example, in response to lawful process, orders, subpoenas, or warrants, or to protect our rights, users, or property).
Although unnerving on its surface, in point of fact any ISP can be forced to monitor your network traffic under court order — Google is no different. Still, I'm comforted to have a full private VPN here that encrypts my data end-to-end, not just halfway.
