| All you need to know about the Firefox VPN service |
Mozilla Foundation - the agency responsible for developing the web browser (Firefox) - released Firefox VPN for Android devices this week, which allows you to protect all incoming and outgoing data on your device from spying to provide better protection and protection using public Wi-Fi networks.
As a result, Firefox VPN was provided to Android device users through the Google Play Store, in addition to Windows 10 devices and Chromebooks announced last December that are currently only available by special invitation.
Here's all you need to know about Firefox VPN service:
What is the service and how does it work?
Unlike the private browser extension Firefox, which started with a beta test last September, the extension only protects some but not all browser data when using Firefox, and the VPN service encrypts everything on Windows 10 and Android devices and network activities and plans to support iOS, Mac, and Linux In the future.
The new Firefox VPN uses WireGuard VPN, one of the few VPN services that use this protocol. It is faster and safer than the services that use the most popular VPN protocols like OpenVPN.
Firefox VPN is powered by Swedish company Mullvad, which is one of the most respected data protection service providers in the VPN and supports five simultaneous devices and servers used in more than 30 countries.
Mullvad not only used OpenVPN and IKEv2 / IPsec protocols, it was also one of the first consumer VPN providers to use the WireGuard standard repeatedly. Firefox VPN only depends on the WireGuard standard.
The service isn't really a VPN in the well-known sense, because it only protects data traffic on Firefox, not data from email clients. For other browsers, public WiFi use is at the same time a good choice. You need to check your email or search some websites.
How much does it cost to use the service?
Firefox VPN trial cost $ 4.99. If you cancel during the first month of service, Mozilla grants a 30-day money-back guarantee. It is cheaper than other advanced VPNs, so Mozilla promises not to log network traffic or browsing history.
How can I get services?
Firefox VPN is only available if you receive an invitation that is currently reserved for US citizens and can now be saved with this link using an address in the Firefox VPN queue. Email and if the service is in your country, you will be notified when it is available.
