What payment methods do Mozilla VPN accept? One of the biggest deal breaker for me are the payment methods. In example Proton VPN only accepts Credit Card or PayPal, which is a deal breaker to me.
Credit Card only it looks like. Mozilla VPN is just a wrapper around Mullvad (it uses their servers and technology) so I would recommend getting that. Mullvad accepts a lot of more bespoke payment methods (crypto, wire transfer, cash in an envelope). The main reason to get Mozilla VPN is to bundle it with Mozilla’s other services.
…or contribute to Mozilla’s work while getting something in return.
the mozilla foundation is largely responsible for the whole adtech and ai slop nonsense that nobody asked for
the mozilla corporation is responsible for firefox. there is no way to support firefox development
What a truly stupid thing to say. Google is responsible for that - and the Tech companies, who fired their ethical departments, to release AI without given any thought to the damage is has done, and will do.
I completely forgot Mozilla VPN was based on Mullvad. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll look into it.
Note they won’t prorate anything, so if you want to cancel a year sub two months in, you’re stuck with it the whole year.
Mullvad is better.

Cause nobody cared then and nobody cares now.
What is up with all these VPN providers needing apps? Do they take VPN protocols as jokes?
I think it’s the same deal as search engines : people have been made too unaware of what is on their devices. Every service needs its own app or people will just not dare to “tinker”.
We’re at an insane level of stupid. I had to buy a new smartphone in an emergency yesterday, and the onboarding runs as follows :
- “What browser do you want to use?” Firefox
- “What search engine do you want to use? (Non skipable)” Ecosia
This results in installing two separate apps : Firefox and Ecosia
Which is intentional. It’s Googles way to make you annoyed enough to not choose anything but their apps…
A thought, as I don’t know the answer, but a lot of these VPN providers provide access to VPN exit nodes in multiple countries. So the VPN app could provide an interface to choose the exit node. And of cause other functionality like reminding you that you need to pay.
They usually offer functionality thats not built in such as kill switches and split tunneling iirc
Would you trust Mozilla tough?
Didn’t even know Mozilla made their own VPN
I think it’s rebranded Mullvad

It’s only worth it if you want to support Mozilla imo. If you don’t care about Mozilla, get Mullvad instead

Good to know that they have first-class Linux support.
Nice!
$5 a month is way to pricey for such a service.
Why, because you can get the normies VPNs for 1 dollar per month or so? How do you think they make up for those low prices? Take a wild guess.
no its because they’re on selling another service and you’re paying extra for the Mozilla brand
It’s not extra. That’s the price for Mullvad (5.90, not 5). Why anyone would choose to use the Mozilla brand instead of going directly via Mullvad escapes any logic that I can understand, other than that, yeah, same price. Specially since you are correct to say they charge more for the branding alone, at 8.25 per month, which is ridiculous.
