It’s annoying, too, that you can’t just pick a country, but must always drill down and choose a specific city to connect to. The search box at the top is slow to respond to typing, and the list of recent servers only remembers the past two connections, with no option to pin your favourite locations for regular quick access. We have to say, working with this list is a bit clunky. Click it and a list of servers flies in from the side.
The main window opens with a big on/off switch, while a panel below shows the currently selected server location. The Mozilla VPN Windows app has a clean design that’s similar, though not identical, to the Mullvad app. READ NEXT: How to set up a VPN on your router Mozilla VPN review: What’s it like to use? You’re out of luck with other devices, however, as Mozilla doesn’t support manual configuration – which also means you can’t run it on a router.Ĭonsidering Mozilla is best known for its browser, it’s also a little curious that there’s no extension for controlling the VPN through your browser – but on Windows you can use the system tray icon to quickly reconnect to the last-used server, or bring up the full interface with two clicks. That’s a reasonable price for an annual service, but it would be nice to have the option of saving even more by committing for two or three years, as offered by the likes of CyberGhost and Private Internet Access.Ī subscription allows unlimited use from up to five devices at once, which can be running Windows, macOS, Android, iOS or Linux. If that tempts you, you might as well go for the full year, since it only costs an extra tenner, and works out to £4.05 a month. As always, it’s cheaper to pay up-front for a longer commitment, and unusually there’s a six-month option at £38.92 – equivalent to £6.49 per month.
Still, you do get a selection of privacy-friendly nations such as Switzerland and the Netherlands, a few more remote countries such as Brazil and Singapore – and plenty of servers in popular streaming locations, such as the UK, USA and Germany.Ī rolling monthly subscription to Mozilla VPN costs £8.11, billed in US dollars. That’s not a huge selection, and it doesn’t include any coverage at all in Africa, the Middle East or South Asia. To be strictly accurate, the VPN isn’t actually owned by Mozilla – it piggybacks Mullvad’s WireGuard-based server network, which means it offers the same choice of 35 countries to route your traffic through. Today it’s best known for the Firefox browser, but since 2020 the company has also offered its own fully featured VPN service. In the annals of the internet, the Mozilla name has a proud lineage – it was founded in 1998 by members of the original Netscape team.
