A comment on Mozilla VPN.

Perhaps I'm being naive but $5USD ($7.50CDN after exchg and credit card padding) per month seems too much for the average Joe. I.e. compared to its competitors - esp. well known competitors like PIA and the free offering from Opera.

If a product is free, you (or your data s) are the price.

BTW personally i would not recommend PIA anymore.

Can you explain your reservations about PIA?

They were acquired by a company who is not known to be a champion of privacy.

Firefox already has a free VPN option, like Opera, built into it. It only covers the browser though. This service covers all your devices.

$5/month for a service from a vendor you can actually trust is pretty inexpensive IMO. There are plenty of cheap, but not very trustworthy VPNs out there.
