What is up with all these VPN providers needing apps? Do they take VPN protocols as jokes?
Isn’t Mozilla VPN just rebadged Mullvad (but you have to identify yourself)?
Is there anything competitive about mozilla’s VPN, or is it just another cash grab for people who don’t know any better?

Cause nobody cared then and nobody cares now.
Good to know that they have first-class Linux support.
What payment methods do Mozilla VPN accept? One of the biggest deal breaker for me are the payment methods. In example Proton VPN only accepts Credit Card or PayPal, which is a deal breaker to me.
Credit Card only it looks like. Mozilla VPN is just a wrapper around Mullvad (it uses their servers and technology) so I would recommend getting that. Mullvad accepts a lot of more bespoke payment methods (crypto, wire transfer, cash in an envelope). The main reason to get Mozilla VPN is to bundle it with Mozilla’s other services.
…or contribute to Mozilla’s work while getting something in return.
The only thing the mozilla foundation deserves is a red hot iron prod up the arse.
of which is not the best idea because Mozilla is a circus of messed up priorities
I completely forgot Mozilla VPN was based on Mullvad. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll look into it.
Yeah, it’s only worth it if you want to buy their other services, like email masks, etc. (which you can also get for free with a service like addy.io).
Addy has way more than 10 free ones. I currently have 43 active aliases, and I’m on the free tier. You may be getting confused in that you can only forward 10MB of emails a month for free, and only to a single address. I’ve never run up against that cap in the six months I’ve been using it, but everybody’s situation is different. Obviously, it wouldn’t work if you need to forward big attachments or something.
Good to know there’s alternatives, though!
Edited to change it to many paid features
So I would assume you’re up on what’s what with unbox. I noticed on the homepage that there’s a link to addy.io at the bottom. Is there some kind of affiliation?
Just use duckduckgos alias it’s unlimited
I don’t like them for the 2022 Microsoft deal and the fact that they are American but for people that aren’t nearly as picky it’s a good option
Yeah that’s fair
no, it also accepts cash and bitcoin
You mean Proton VPN accepts cash and bitcoin? When I lookup at https://account.protonvpn.com/signup?plan=bundle2022&billing=12¤cy=EUR , the only offering for me are Credit/debit card and/or PayPal.
in that menu, yes.
but when you go to make an account and upgrade it to free, the two options are there.
Would you trust Mozilla tough?
Nice!
$5 a month is way to pricey for such a service.
