I want to use something like this, but I don't think I can when also using VPN by Google on an unrooted phone.

It sounds like VPN by Google is an effective strategy for keeping users from using ad and tracking blockers, then; for contrast, iOS routes the connection to the private traffic server over your user VPN connection if one is active.

Your comment is how I found out about "VPN by Google".

I wonder how old it is and what their motivation is/was. Maybe to offer something comparable to Apple Private Browsing?
