Hello,

Downloading bit torrents and P2P downloads will work normally when using the Mozilla VPN, as long as they don't require port forwarding. Port Forwarding is a feature on our upcoming engineering sprints to build.

I hope you may find this helpful, and please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you for that answer but It was not the exact information I was looking for although thank you for letting me know this VPN is compatible with torrenting and P2P. I must have asked the wrong question so here is my updated question.

Since this is a US based VPN the government could compel Mozilla to hand over the information of its users, correct?* Would Mozilla afford the same access to telecom companies? Has the practice of logging the: server, device, OS, hardware config, and original IP every time a user logs on to the VPN stopped?*

Hello,

At Mozilla, we take user privacy so seriously that it’s at the core of every initiative and every product we develop. Our Data Privacy Principles are easy to read and we’re committed to strong principles.

At Mozilla VPN we follow our Data Privacy Principles so as to only keep operational information. We have tried to collect only minimal amounts of data to build the best product experiences for our users. More specifically, Mozilla VPN does not log, track, or share your online activity.

We selected our partner, Mullvad’s VPN servers, based on this principle and their no-logging policy, so we can ensure your privacy end to end To use the Mozilla VPN, a user must currently have a Firefox Account, which requires information that is required to authenticate a source. However this is separate from the VPN, and does not include traffic activity.

I used to contribute to the Mozilla project, many moons ago. Unless things have changed (and the excellent answer from the moderator, @gaguilera seem to suggest that they have not - gaguilera, please keep me honest here), the policy that would impact your concerns, @philip.smith.c, is one of "can't turn over what we ain't got saved."

Your basic identifier data (which is used to authenticate your computer connecting TO the VPN; it IS a paid service, after all) is, of course, on hand, so the VPN service can allow you to connect in the first place, and anonymized usage data ("a system in the United States keeps getting booted due to network fluctuations") is stored for their internal engineers' to review and respond to, but it's not YOU, personally, that information is related to. Just "some dude". It's not full Zero Knowledge, like LastPass, where the company has no idea about ANYTHING related to the account, but it's end-to-end, such that the data obtained is in no way associated to you/your IP/your MAC/etc.

There's nothing I just said here that gaguilera did not already, but sometimes it helps to hear it from someone outside the organization, too. Put it like this: I'm a software engineer with intimate knowledge (if a bit stale) of the org. I also torrent (and have the same concerns, if you follow me).

I use 'em...
