Mozilla launches $4.99 a month VPN service in US

Mozilla announced it's getting into the VPN business. The company was already experimenting with Firefox Private Network, an in-browser proxy, but now they're rolling out a full-device VPN service. For just $4.99 Mozilla promises a safe and secure Internet experience.

Initially, the service will work with a waiting list and be exclusively available in the US. Next year, operation will be expanded to other countries. At the moment, the 64-bit version of Windows is the only operating system supported by Mozilla's VPN. Other operating systems will follow in the future.

For those looking to extend their protection beyond the browser, you can now sign up to be one of the first to experience the newest member of the FPN family. This month, Firefox account holders can request invitations to experience device-level protection with our new full-device VPN (virtual private network). Join the waitlist and if you’re eligible, we’ll follow up with a link to access the VPN at an introductory price of $4.99 per month. Currently the VPN will be available for Windows 10 only, and like the rest of the FPN, it is only available to US-based Firefox account holders. Pricing and platform availability will continue to evolve and we look forward to hearing your feedback.
