Firefox VPN is a built-in browser proxy to browse anonymously in the open source browser. It is a free service that protects your device’s IP address by routing traffic through secure servers.
While not as powerful as standalone VPN services, which protect all activity on a device, it is a handy privacy feature nevertheless. Users should not confuse it with Mozilla VPN, which is a device-wide VPN service that is not free.
Mozilla increased the available bandwidth for free users to 50 gigabytes recently. That is a generous amount already. This week, the organization announced another, temporary, increase of the VPN bandwidth.
Bandwidth is unlimited until September 1, 2026, according to the blog post. So, if you really need a lot of bandwidth, for instance for massive downloads or media streams, then this should get you through the coming months without ever worrying about hitting bandwidth limits.
In addition, users may connect to more than 25 different exit regions when they use the browser VPN.
The full set of countries available during this summer period include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Norway, South Africa, United Kingdom and United States.
Firefox’s built-in VPN supports turning off the secure connection for specific sites. That’s useful in some cases, for example, when sites do not work properly while the VPN is active.
All in all, if you do not use a VPN service already, this one may be an option to upgrade your privacy on the Internet.
