And you still can't set up the apps to automatically connect when you access public Wi-Fi, either. There's no support for manually setting up the service on routers or anything else. Mozilla VPN only supports the WireGuard protocol, for instance, so if that won’t connect on your network, you’re out of luck. (This Mozilla blog post (opens in new tab) has more details.) Instead of forever connecting, changing location or disconnecting, you just switch to whatever tab you need.

You’re able to have separate browser tabs, each connected to a separate VPN location, or even not connected to the VPN at all. Other highlights include IPv6 support, and the ability to choose an ad or tracker-blocking DNS server, or to use your preferred DNS.įirefox users get an unusual bonus in support for Multi-Account Containers. Split tunneling support (confusingly called App Permissions here) allows you to decide which apps are protected by the VPN, and which use your regular internet connection.

Mozilla implemented this a while ago on desktop apps, but it's now available on Android and iOS, too. Multi-Hop VPN enables connecting to the VPN from one location (Phoenix, say, but you can choose anything from the location list) and exiting from another (maybe London), making it even more difficult for others to track your activities. Support for the speedy WireGuard protocol optimizes performance, and there's a kill switch to protect you if the VPN drops. The network is P2P-friendly, for instance (we torrented successfully on three test locations).

Mozilla VPN's feature list has grown considerably since launch, and the service now beats many specialist VPNs in some areas. You can elect to use ad or tracker-blocking DNS servers (Image credit: Mozilla) Features
