Firefox’s free VPN will offer 50 gigabytes of monthly data, which is pretty generous for a browser-based VPN. A Mozilla account is required to make use of it, which isn’t a hardship (they’re free), but is a point of friction some may wish to know upfront.
I just woke up and I don’t fully comprehend what you wrote, but I thank you for your reassurance. 🙏
disregard what I said on my other comment. I believe it to be correct, but despite the post title this is not a VPN, but a proxy, as the article says, that needs to decrypt the HTTPS traffic.
weird choice to be honest.
they were explaining what happens with a proxy server, but with only a VPN there’s no proxy server or other such decrypting middleman. but in short: TLS was made to protect against exactly this: the network between. only thing leaked is the domain you are connecting to
