1. Mozilla Vpn Review
2. Review Mozilla Vpn

Mozilla is more than just a browser. They’ve come out with a bunch of other products to up our digital security, and here, we’re checking out their VPN, aptly named Mozilla VPN. It’s a very new product just launched in July 2020, so we’re curious to see the pricing behind the VPN. For a product that’s only been out for about 60 days, is it worth its prices, and what are its prices in the first place? We’ve got it covered.

Today will mark another milestone for FPN since we’ll be changing the name from FPN full-device VPN to simply the Mozilla VPN. For now, this change will only include the Windows 10 version as well as the Android version. Update the software, including Mozilla and VPN. You might not know this, but Mozilla has changed a lot of things in the Firefox browser with the introduction of the new version – Firefox Quantum. This may have caused some confusion for VPN solutions because they do not support Firefox Quantum.

• Our VPN provides an ultra-secure and fast connection on your Android device. Built by Mozilla — the makers of Firefox and trusted pioneer in internet privacy — our VPN app encrypts your internet connection to keep your online activity private on any network. Our VPN is built with WireGuard®, next-generation VPN technology that makes your streaming and internetting ultra-fast and reliably.
• Mozilla VPN provides an encrypted tunnel to the Internet from any software or app on your desktop, laptop, or mobile devices, allowing you to connect securely and conceal some of your data when you connect to the Internet.

Mozilla Vpn Review

Why It’s Worth It

Best VPNs For Mozilla Firefox (2021) Mozilla Firefox blocks malware, pop-ups and cyber threats and is made more secure with various browser extensions. So unsurprisingly Firefox is more popular with security conscious internet users. Just 5% of people use Firefox compared to 62% of people using Chrome as their browser.

Before we throw the price at you, we want to tell you what we liked about the VPN itself, and why we think it’s a good investment.

• Kill switch: If Mozilla failed for us, it automatically shut down our web browsers on iOS and Windows, while we turned on the kill switch manually on our Android phone.
• Split tunneling on Android: Also only on Android was split tunneling, which let us divert some traffic to the public network and some, more private traffic to the VPN.
• Low Price: Mozilla kept their pricing very simple, with only one option for $4.99 a month.
• Flexible contract: We didn’t have to sign up for a long term to use Mozilla VPN; their only subscription option is month-to-month.
• Five devices: One subscription covered five devices, which we thought was a decent deal for the price.
• Money-back guarantee: If we didn’t like Mozilla VPN, we had 30 days from our purchasing date to cancel for a full refund.

If you want to dive more into our experience testing out the VPN, read our Mozilla VPN review.

Tip: Using an Android device? Turn on your kill switch manually so that if the VPN fails for any reason, Firefox will quit so your activity stays secret.

Subscription Cost

Mozilla made pricing really simple for us; they only had one subscription option, coverage of up to five devices for only $4.99 a month. This is a bargain compared to competitors; while it’s not free like the best free VPNs we’ve tested, it’s a fraction of the cost of better-known options like ExpressVPN, which goes up to around $15 a month (to learn more, read our ExpressVPN pricing page). While we wish Mozilla gave us discounts if we signed up for longer time periods, we can’t complain at spending about $5 a month for five devices, about a dollar per device per month.

Other Services

Aside from their VPN and the popular web browser Firefox, which the typical user works on for around five hours per day,1 Mozilla offers three free services: Firefox Lockwise, a password manager that’s completely free, Pocket, an app where you can save web articles, videos, and the like for free or for a paid premium service, and Firefox Monitor, another free service that scans data breaches for your credentials. Note that we couldn’t buy these products in a bundle; rather, they were all available separately, for separate prices (or not, for the free services). Let’s take a closer look at each.

Firefox Lockwise

Anyone who uses Firefox desktop has probably already taken advantage of the browser’s built-in password manager, but what about when you’re using Firefox on your phone or tablet? For these instances, Firefox Lockwise lets you take these stored credentials and apply them to any iOS or Android device with some simple apps. Instead of typing in each password every time you log onto accounts, you can use Face or Touch ID to gain access. Your data will be encrypted using AES-256, the current industry standard, so you never have to worry about unauthorized access. Again, this service is completely free of charge and there is no paid option available.

Pocket

Have you ever spotted an online article that looks interesting, but you don’t have time to read it at the moment? Meet Pocket, a digital, well, pocket where you can store all those things you wanted to read and view at a later time. Unlike Lockwise, Pocket does have a paid option with Pocket Premium.

With Pocket Premium, you can save things forever as well as add suggested tags, search the entire text, highlight to your heart’s content and enjoy some premium fonts. The cost is either $4.99 a month, like the VPN, or if you sign up for a year, $3.75 a month; the total amount billed is $44.99, saving you $14.89 over the monthly plan. If you’re a voracious reader or TV-watcher, Pocket is for you either on a free or paid level.

Firefox Monitor

Turn on the news and you’re bound to see a story about a security breach; everything from Facebook to the Democratic National Committee has been targeted, so it’s important to keep your credentials safe from would-be identity thieves. Data breaches are so common, in fact, that as of 2017, 64 percent of Americans have experienced one personally.2 Well, here at Security.org, we think that the best defense is a good offense, and Firefox Monitor is just that. Simply by entering our email addresses, we checked for breaches with our credentials in less than a second; we also could have signed up for email alerts if our credentials were found on an ongoing basis. This service is free and an excellent way to protect against identity theft. Did we mention it’s free?

Did You Know: Adults aren’t the only ones who can have their identities stolen. According to our study on child identity theft, 14 percent of parents said their children’s identities had been stolen. While Firefox Monitor is a good start, your best bet is to pay for identity theft protection for families.

Free Trial and Refund Policies

Review Mozilla Vpn

Getting back to the original topic at hand, no, you won’t be able to try out Mozilla VPN for free. However, they do have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you cancel within 30 days of the day you signed up for Mozilla VPN, you’ll get your payment method refunded. Sure, it’s not technically a free trial, but you could end up paying nothing for Mozilla VPN if you time it right.

Compatible Devices

Since Mozilla VPN is so new, it only works on a few different types of devices, as of writing:

• Windows 10
• Android
• iOS.

This is pretty minimal, so we’re looking forward to Mozilla VPN adding on compatibility for Mac and Linux soon.

Available Countries

Another limitation of Mozilla VPN is that it’s only available for users located in a few countries, including:

• Canada
• Malaysia
• New Zealand
• United Kingdom
• United States

Since we’re based in the United States, this was all well and good, but we look forward to Mozilla VPN being available in more countries. After all, we’ve got friends all over the world, and they need data privacy, as well!

Mozilla: Behind the Curtain

We’ve all heard of Mozilla, as their browser Firefox is one of the most popular browsers of all time, but how much do you really know about the company itself? The first thing you should know is that Mozilla is based in Mountain View, California, the same area of Silicon Valley where Google is based. That’s not ideal for a VPN company, as it means that the U.S government could force them to hand over customer data. See, the U.S is a member of Five Eyes, Nine Eyes and 14 Eyes, global surveillance alliances that legalize this practice. So what data does the Mozilla VPN keep?

Privacy Policy

To find out, we scoured Mozilla’s privacy policy, and what we found was a bit less than pleasing. Without getting too deep into the weeds (we save that for our full review), we weren’t happy that Mozilla kept our IP address every time we connected as well as the timestamps of our connections and the servers we used. They also kept our device types, operating systems and hardware configurations. So while we were happy they didn’t log our actual web activity, this is clearly more information needed than the minimum to uphold our account, especially in regards to our private IP addresses. If you want to keep your devices’ IP addresses truly private then Mozilla VPN is not for you.

Some more uplifting news is that Mozilla doesn’t share this data with advertisers or marketers, only Mullvad, who actually provides the VPN service, and Stripe, which processed our payment information. So it’s up to you to decide if Mozilla VPN is worth its privacy policy, which, in our opinion, was definitely a bit subpar.

Company Background

Here’s a little bit more about Mozilla in general. With a mission of providing a free and open Internet for everybody, Mozilla was founded in 2005, springing from the non-profit Mozilla Foundation that began a couple of years prior. While Google is its physical neighbor, the company isn’t such a big fish in a small pond; their revenue was only $450.9 million in 2018, and while that may sound like a large number, it’s a fraction of Google’s revenue the same year, which came in at 136.36 billion. So if supporting the little guy is your thing, Firefox may be a decent choice for your browser, VPN, password manager and the like.

Conclusion

Sure, the Mozilla VPN could use a bit of work, namely adding more locations, compatible devices, and split tunneling across all of the apps. We also aren’t thrilled with Mozilla’s privacy policy or U.S headquarters, but if you’re less concerned with privacy, then their VPN is definitely worth it. For only $4.99 a month, their prices are more than reasonable, and if you don’t like it, you can get a full refund within 30 days, making the risk virtually zero.

Mozilla VPN FAQs

• Does Firefox offer a VPN?

  Yes, Firefox offers a VPN called Mozilla VPN as of July 2020.

• How do I get a VPN on Firefox?

  To get a VPN on Firefox, go to the Mozilla VPN website and purchase a subscription after creating a username and password. Then, download the app onto your device, sign in and connect.

• Is Mozilla VPN any good?

  Mozilla VPN is fine for basic VPN usage, but it lost points for its Five Eyes membership, logging of IP addresses, and lack of split tunneling on iOS and Windows devices. However, if you use Androids, you’ll enjoy the VPN’s split tunneling and kill switch, which can be turned on and off. Plus, the VPN is only $4.99 a month, one of the lower-priced options on the market.

When it comes to browsers, there is no perfect one to match the expectations of all users. For most Mac-users, Safari is mostly compatible with everything they do, whereas Chrome provides a great integration with all Google Drive services. But for some, the speedy Quantum Version of Mozilla’s Firefox beats every other option. Nevertheless, it does have some limitations.

For example, some users have reported that they were unable to use Mozilla Firefox while VPN is enabled. There are, of course, countless reasons why something might go array in your computer, but in this article, we will specifically research the issue when Firefox won’t run with VPN.

Below, you will find an overview of possible causes and steps to take to fix this issue. In case none of these work, you can always try to change your VPN provider, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

How to fix Firefox VPN settings? Here are some easy fixes for Windows 10:

1. Check your connection settings.
2. Clean your browser cache.
3. Update the software, including Mozilla and VPN.
4. Customize settings in your antivirus and firewall.
5. Try to use another VPN server.
6. Reinstall Mozilla Firefox.

These are just some of the suggestions that we have for the Firefox VPN problem in Windows 10.

Solution 1.

If you check your connection, you might find the cause of the issue there and not bother with the rest of the time-consuming solutions. Try to use an alternative browser to access the same websites and see if it works. If the combo of the VPN and another browser seems to have no issues, you should try to fix Mozilla Firefox by following these steps:

Step 1. First of all, restart your computer.

Step 2. Also, restart your router/modem.

Step 3. Use a wired LAN connection to see if there is a malfunction with your drivers.

Step 4. If the LAN connection is active, navigate to Device Manager and see if the drivers are updated and properly installed. If they are not or you don’t know how to update your drivers, use Auslogics Driver Updater to resolve this issue.

Step 5. Run Windows Troubleshooter and follow these instructions:

1. Find the Start button and right-click it, select Settings.
2. Open the Update and Security tab.
3. Choose Troubleshoot from the left panel.
4. Select Internet Connections and click the Run on the troubleshoot button.

Step 6. You can also reset the IP address of your computer, using Command Prompt. Again, follow these steps to execute this fix:

1. Open Command Prompt (Windows key + R) and type ‘cmd’, hit Enter
2. Copy and paste each of these command lines:
   • netsh winsock reset
   • netsh int ip reset
   • ipconfig /release
   • ipconfig /renew
3. Press Enter after pasting each one.

Solution 2.

Clean your browser cache. In a perfect world, this should be a daily routine, but the advancement of technology made it impossible to focus on the little things. It’s not certain that the packed cache is causing the issue with your VPN, but it is a great place to start with a solution. Follow these instructions to clear the browser cache in Mozilla Firefox:

Step 1. Open the browser.

Step 2. Simultaneously press the CTR+SHIRT+Delete combinations and access the Recent History Dialog box.

Step 3. Under the ‘Time and Range to clear’ tab, choose Everything. In the list below, select Cache. You can also delete the Search History and Cookies by clicking their respective boxes, but it’s up to you.

Step 4. Select Clear Now.

Step 5. This should help to establish the connection. If you are still experiencing issues with your VPN, proceed to the next solution.

Solution 3.

Update the software, including Mozilla and VPN. You might not know this, but Mozilla has changed a lot of things in the Firefox browser with the introduction of the new version – Firefox Quantum. This may have caused some confusion for VPN solutions because they do not support Firefox Quantum. The good news, however, is that developers rarely miss this kind of scale of innovation, so as you are reading this article, a new fix can be implemented to your browser or VPN in order to fix this problem. Which is why we advise you to make sure that both your VPN and Firefox are up to date before making any kind of optimization of your own. You can check for available updates by following this step-by-step guide:

Step 1. Open your browser.

Step 2. Click on the Menu and scroll down to choose Help.

Step 3. Open the “About Firefox” option.

This command will automatically set the updating process in motion, but to make sure, you can also try and run Firefox in Safe Mode. To do that, proceed with steps 1 and 2 and choose the option entitled “Restart with Add-ons disabled”.

Solution 4.

Customize settings in your antivirus and firewall. You can try to fix your VPN problem by switching off your anti-virus software and firewall. Although this is not the recommended course of action, it could potentially lead to uncovering the true culprit of the problem. User reports show that a lot of VPN connectivity issues are connected with malicious software that has been infecting your computer. To protect your device from these attacks and unnecessary troubleshooting, we advise investing in Auslogics Anti-Malware. This tool will help to perform background scans and checks of your hard drive and Registry. It will stand on the front line of protecting your computer against imposters and will probably save you a lot of time in the long run. Also, you won’t have to worry about switching your anti-virus on and off again, because the two of them form a highly effective pair and integrate perfectly.

Solution 5.

Switch to a different VPN server. The problem you are having can be connected to the fact that some servers are working slow or are down. In which case you should exercise your right as a paying customer to change the servers for better connectivity. If this doesn’t help, you can always try to change the encryption protocols and make some changes. This fix is applicable to Firefox VPN connectivity issues as well as other possible problems with the VPN.

Solution 6.

The last, but nevertheless not least of the possible solutions is reinstalling your Mozilla Firefox completely. If you have previously used the VPN with another browser and it worked, then reinstalling Firefox will help a lot. If, however, it was not the case and you are still (after using all of our tips) experiencing issues with your VPN, then we suggest reinstalling them both. Hopefully, this will solve the issue in its entirety.
