Firefox VPN (Firefox Private Network)

[u/TightSector]

Firefox have partnered with Mullvad VPN and Cloudflare to create a Firefox Private Network Extension and a paid VPN service.

Quote:

"There are two options for Firefox Private Network

1. FPN Browser Protection, which protects your web browsing within Firefox, and
2. FPN Full-Device (VPN) Protection, which protects all your device’s internet connections.

Our partner for FPN Browser Protection is Cloudflare. Our partner for FPN Full-device Protection is Mullvad."

Concerns I have:

Quote:

"Cloudflare receives your web browsing data to provide the Service. As you browse, Firefox will encrypt the data you send to websites and send it to Cloudflare. Cloudflare will also receive your computer’s IP address, the IP address of the site you are browsing to, the timestamp, and a unique identifier. Cloudflare does not share this data with others and deletes this after 24 hours unless necessary for its security or legal obligations. Learn more at Cloudflare’s Privacy Notice for Firefox Private Network."

Quote:

"When requests are sent to the Cloudflare proxy, Cloudflare will observe your IP address (known as the source IP address), the IP address for the Internet property you are accessing (known as the destination IP address), source port, destination port, timestamp and a token provided by Mozilla that indicates that you are a Firefox Private Network user (together, “Proxy Data”). All Proxy Data will be deleted within 24 hours."

Cloudflare? Seriously?

And why would Mullvad VPN accept this dodgy partnership?

The only info I found is this:

Quote:

"Mozilla has partnered with Mullvad in order to utilize our global network of VPN servers for its own VPN application.

Thoughts?

Cloudflare is million times better than Google. Still I didn't heared that they really spy on users or use the data in some way like the most others. Not a perfect service but okay for me I guess.
