Opinions on Mozilla VPN?
(lemmy.ml)
its basically reskinned mullvad vpn, so its pretty good
This. I use it because I have had a great experience with Mullvad, but also want more ways to give Mozilla money lol. I worry too often about their long term financial sustainability
They actually get a lot of money by Google, soo..
So Google have strong leverage over them, and the more of other revenue Mozilla have, the lesser is Google's leverage.
Probably.
Is it integrated with Firefox in any way?
They have an integration with container tabs, I've only used it once but imagine it could be handy: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-multi-account-containers-mozilla-vpn
Nice, thanks
It's just Mullvad and you have to pay 10€. If you buy Mullvad's VPN service directly from their website you only pay 5€ and you get much more with the client they offer. So if you ask me the better choice is obvious.
It would likely be my VPN of choice if I didn't have such a good deal with Proton's ecosystem of apps
I like it. As others have said, it is a rebadged Mulvad. When I got it, Mozilla was slightly cheaper. The apps for Linux work well and the speed seems decent.
I remember drama because mullvad blocked port forwarding and it messed up a lot of folks torrenting. Does anyone know if Mozilla allow port forwarding?
I read about this port blocking thing but don't quite understand what the issue is. I've been using Mullvad for three months now and have a torrent client using the vpn connection without any issues whatsoever. It uses the port I opened in my account at Mullvad's.
Yeah I don't fully understand either. I think the point that folks were making was about port forwarding allowing for much better speeds? I don't have Mullvad, but I know with my vpn my speeds are crippled when torrenting on it, so maybe others have similar issues with Mullvad without port forwarding.
I didn't know they even had a VPN but I doubt I would trust them over Mullvad or Proton. Even if what other posters are saying is true and it is just a reskinned Mullvad i'd rather give Mullvad money over Mozilla.
It's just reskinned Mullvad
