Hello,

The Firefox Private Network browser extension creates an encrypted tunnel called a proxy between your browser and a network managed by our trusted partner Cloudflare. While you browse the web, your browsing data flows from Firefox directly through this secure connection. This means that your ISP, network manager, or eavesdroppers on a public Wi-Fi network cannot see your browsing. Since your web traffic is proxied by Cloudflare before it reaches the web, your location and IP address are also masked so that online trackers have a harder time following you as you browse.

Hope this helps!
