According to Mozilla, solutions for the operating systems macOS and Linux will follow soon. The "Mozilla" VPN provider has already set up a corresponding waiting list.

Proxy from the Swedish VPN service provider

The browser's data traffic is routed via Firefox Private Network via the proxy server of the VPN service WireGuard, which in turn is operated by the Swedish company Mullvad VPN.

Firefox Private Network is basically a renamed edition of Mullvad VPN and WireGuard, which costs around 5 euros a month in Germany and uses the following servers. The VPN solution from Mozilla is a clone of these established services and a new pillar for the organization.

The VPN is built by Firefox and runs on a global network of servers powered by our partner Mullvad using the WireGuard protocol. Mullvad respects your privacy and has committed to not keep logs of any kind.
