It uses Mullvad, and is the same price as Mullvad. I am assuming Mozilla gets a cut. When my current Mullvad subscription expires, I will switch over.

Can't wait for this. The PIA extension stopped working in Firefox months ago, and PIA said they have no ETA for a fix.

Indeed. Can someone explain why it's not available outside of the US, though? I don't see the logic behind that.

Yeah this comment makes no sense. That would be terrible publicity for Mozilla.

Also, Reddit uses HTTPS (like every other mainstream website) so Mozilla/Mullvad can't see what you're posting or even what your username is.

It's less flexible than Mullvad. This new service is Wireguard-only, and as far as I can tell, requires you to use their custom app.

Mullvad additionally supports OpenVPN and other protocols, and is client-agnostic.

Given the high ethical standard of Mozilla I’m not sure how popular this will be.

For example, a while back there were research showing nord was setting up users as proxies, there by making it impossible for Netflix to block these residential ips.

I don’t think Mozilla will do this.

As long as there's no leaks over http traffic of course. Advertisers are great at data exfiltration.
