I signed up for the Mozilla VPN a few months ago - I have no idea what, if anything, I am receiving for my money - there are no "icons on the toolbar" to give me that warm feeling...

Also - while researching the above question, I see that Mozilla is offering this service for $2.99/mo. - but I'm paying $4.99/mo. - what's up?

Hello!

The Firefox Private Network is a browser extension that costs 2.99/month, versus the Mozilla VPN app that is a standalone app that costs 4.99/mo. The extension only covers browser activity and doesn't have any configurable settings, whereas the Mozilla VPN has more configuration options and covers all internet activity on the device, hiding your real location and protecting your data from data collectors.

To use the VPN, all you need to do is sign in and download the client from vpn.mozilla.org. Once you've installed it, you just need to open the client, sign in with your Firefox Account, and hit the switch to turn it on. As soon as it shows you're connected, your traffic will be encrypted and routed through one of our secure servers.

I hope this helps,
