Opinions on Mozilla VPN? - eviltoast

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 remember drama because mullvad blocked port forwarding and it messed up a lot of folks torrenting. Does anyone know if Mozilla allow port forwarding?

      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.

    I didn’t know they even had a VPN but I doubt I would trust them over Mullvad or Proton. Even if what other posters are saying is true and it is just a reskinned Mullvad i’d rather give Mullvad money over Mozilla.
