Whoever wants to can profile as much as they like. My VPN's always on and I rent the VPS using Monero.

If you're not using a vpn on your vps, it's the same as using google directly. And if you're only using the vpn on your desktop it's even worse, since google will just tie you to your VPS ip.

More than happy for google to tie my searches to the VPS' IP.
