Hey guys, has anyone of you tried Mozilla VPN? What are your opinions? It’s just been released in my country and the price is pretty good, so I might be interested in it and wondering what are your thoughts on it.

    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.

    I use it because it uses Mullvad’s servers but it also supports Mozilla. Have no complaints so far. Just use an alias email and pay with a virtual credit card or a visa gift card for maximum privacy. It’s got all the features that you need such as custom DNS, multihop, built in speed tester, malware and ad blocking (although does not work when you use a custom DNS).

    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.
