Mozilla Company test version of their VPN extension called for Firefox browser users. So far, the system is available only in the US and only for desktop versions of the program.
Reportedly, the new service is presented as part of the revived Test Pilot program, which was previously closed. The purpose of the extension is to protect users' devices when they connect to public Wi-Fi. It will also allow you to hide the IP address so that advertisers cannot track it. At the same time, it is not yet clear whether testing will be launched in other countries.
The extension uses a private proxy service that Cloudflare supports. All data before it is encrypted. Data transmission goes through the firefox.factor11.cloudflareclient.com:2486 proxy.
At the moment, the services are provided free of charge, but in the future, payment is likely to be expected, although it is not yet clear how much this will cost and under what model it will be provided. At the same time, we note that Opera has its own built-in VPN, which is available for free to everyone. In addition, many services offer similar options when installing the appropriate add-ons.
Also note that in order to participate in the Test Pilot program, you need to install a special add-on that will offer a list of features available for testing at the moment. During the work, Test Pilot collects and sends to the servers a set of depersonalized statistics about the nature of work with add-ons. It is stated that no personal data is transferred.
