My subscription to my current VPN, Private Internet Access, just expired. I’m wondering if I should renew it or try another VPN service. I’ve been curious about Mozilla’s new VPN lately, but I don’t know how well it compares to competitors. Apparently it uses Mullvad VPN’s infrastructure, and I have heard good things about it. A weird thing is that Mozilla VPN is a little bit cheaper than Mullvad, at $4.99 a month compared to about $5.50 a month. Is Mozilla VPN worth using, or should I go with Mullvad directly, or stick with Private Internet Access, or another VPN service? My main concerns are privacy and performance.

    I used Mullvad for about six months and it worked great so in terms of performance I don’t think you will have any problems. And since they also use Mullvad I think they have the same privacy practices so I think you are good there. What it would worry the more to me is if they have clients for your platform and how good they are.

    Also you are supporting Mozilla, which is great.

      Kind of great, the company cares more about executives than their employees.

      Do either Mozilla or Mullvad provide OpenVPN or WireGuard configuration files? I prefer to use those since KDE natively supports them, or I can use them with my favorite open source VPN clients.

      For example, with PIA, I’m just using their OpenVPN files and completely bypassing their proprietary clients.

        Mullvad supports both, but I’m not sure about Mozilla. Mullvad clients are all libre, I don’t know about Mozilla, but I imagine they are, too.
