Mozilla is now offering their own VPN for $5/mo if you sign up for a year's worth. Is that a good deal?
Specifically, would it be a good deal for me? I don't use wifi for anything and have it shut off. About the only time I worry about my security is when I visit here, visit a porn site, or do a websearch on what might be a questionable topic. and that doesn't account for much of my online usage at all.
Bundles are almost always a rip off. Using someone else's VPN cost them something so they try to sell you convenience to get you back. What is the only thing you have that they want? Your info.
As a general rule, you want a VPN headquartered in another country. They will all give you up when the cops knock on the door because if they don't, the cops will just take over and run the VPN until they get what they want. Making them carry legal matters (like warrants) across national boundaries makes you not worth the trouble unless you have a sideline of nuclear terrorism.
$5/month is an average price. The one I use is $11/month for 6 devices with VPN, Proxy, and e-mail on each paid monthly or about half that paid yearly. This is a premium service. This way I can cover desktop, laptop, and phone quickly and easily including separate channels for messenger services. Color me paranoid.
