The Mozilla VPN Client can now be installed on Linux distributions from Flathub, a change that will allow more users to access the paid VPN service.

    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.

          of which is not the best idea because Mozilla is a circus of messed up priorities

          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.

          Yeah, it’s only worth it if you want to buy their other services, like email masks, etc. (which you can also get for free with a service like addy.io).

            addy.io has many paid-only features I recommend unbox.at it has unlimited free aliases and the owner is very kind and hosts over 70 other services and all at free, so I donate $10 a month to him

              Addy has way more than 10 free ones. I currently have 43 active aliases, and I’m on the free tier. You may be getting confused in that you can only forward 10MB of emails a month for free, and only to a single address. I’ve never run up against that cap in the six months I’ve been using it, but everybody’s situation is different. Obviously, it wouldn’t work if you need to forward big attachments or something.

              Good to know there’s alternatives, though!

                  So I would assume you’re up on what’s what with unbox. I noticed on the homepage that there’s a link to addy.io at the bottom. Is there some kind of affiliation?

                    No it means they are using addy.io’s software since it’s open source

                I don’t like them for the 2022 Microsoft deal and the fact that they are American but for people that aren’t nearly as picky it’s a good option

        You mean Proton VPN accepts cash and bitcoin? When I lookup at https://account.protonvpn.com/signup?plan=bundle2022&billing=12&currency=EUR , the only offering for me are Credit/debit card and/or PayPal.

          in that menu, yes.

          but when you go to make an account and upgrade it to free, the two options are there.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
