Hey guys, has anyone of you tried Mozilla VPN? What are your opinions? It’s just been released in my country and the price is pretty good, so I might be interested in it and wondering what are your thoughts on it.

    It’s just Mullvad and you have to pay 10€. If you buy Mullvad’s VPN service directly from their website you only pay 5€ and you get much more with the client they offer. So if you ask me the better choice is obvious.

    I like it. As others have said, it is a rebadged Mulvad. When I got it, Mozilla was slightly cheaper. The apps for Linux work well and the speed seems decent.

    • I read about this port blocking thing but don’t quite understand what the issue is. I’ve been using Mullvad for three months now and have a torrent client using the vpn connection without any issues whatsoever. It uses the port I opened in my account at Mullvad’s.

        Yeah I don’t fully understand either. I think the point that folks were making was about port forwarding allowing for much better speeds? I don’t have Mullvad, but I know with my vpn my speeds are crippled when torrenting on it, so maybe others have similar issues with Mullvad without port forwarding.

  • It’s a whitelabel Mullvad VPN, so it’s fine. I’ve used for a year (or more?) on Linux, Android, and OSX. I don’t use it a ton, but I’d say I use it a moderate amount.

    I’ve never really run into problems with it, but I mostly only do regular web browsing stuff with it, so I’m not sure how more data intensive or latency sensitive might fare.
