Roy Schestowitz asked me what I’m using lately for Web browsing. So apparently they don’t need the money badly enough to have an RPM build bot. To make matters worse, the idiots running Mozilla seem to think that “Linux support” means you shit out an Ubuntu package and ignore the RPM users when making an RPM isn’t even that hard. I have had no problems with Mullvad VPN.īasically, Mozilla’s contributions here are raising the price, having a privacy and terms of use policy that go on for miles so you could be selling them a kidney (Who knows? I’m not a lawyer and I don’t have time for this shit.), creating a really piss-poorly designed client (calling it bad would be praise at this point), and then not fixing gaping security holes in it. Every once in a while I just grab the latest RPM, verify it, and then unpack it on top of the last one using dnf. Mozilla essentially just repackages Mullvad VPN which already has an excellent privacy policy and open source client that has worked fine for me. Microsoft typically waits until it’s an emergency and there’s malware making the rounds and they’ve taken a completely unnecessary PR black eye by having to be outed as not caring about security.Īnd why would you want security in an operating system or some Virtual PRIVATE Network software, right? This is Microsoft-like in how Mozilla responds to security problems. The long story short is that Mozilla incompetently designed their client software, then refused to fix the problem for over three months after a security researcher at SUSE reported it to them, at which time it was publicly disclosed. The special client that Mozilla VPN has for Mullvad (they use Mullvad’s VPN network) has a really nasty security hole that Mozilla has failed to address properly. Bonus: SeaMonkey 2.53.17, WEI, Firefox on Linux Getting Worse. Don’t Use Mozilla VPN (Security Problems and Incompetence) Just Get Mullvad.
