- Verify that the fingerprint is 35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3:

- Add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:
- echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null
- Update your package list and install the Mozilla VPN .deb package:
