Everything you need to know about Virtual Private Networks — explained simply.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet. When you use Mozilla VPN, your internet traffic is routed through one of our secure servers before reaching its destination.
This means websites see the server's IP address — not yours. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) sees encrypted data — not your activity. Advertisers can't track you across the web.
Coffee shops, airports, and hotels run unsecured networks. Hackers can intercept your logins, messages, and financial data without a VPN protecting you.
Your IP address is a digital fingerprint. Companies use it to build profiles on you and target you with ads. A VPN hides your real IP and breaks that tracking chain.
Internet Service Providers can log and sell your browsing history in many countries. Mozilla VPN encrypts all your traffic so your ISP only sees gibberish.
Mozilla VPN uses the WireGuard® protocol — the fastest and most modern VPN technology available. Here's what happens when you connect:
Mozilla is a nonprofit that has championed internet privacy since 1998. Unlike commercial VPN providers driven by profit, Mozilla VPN is built by an organization whose mission is to keep the internet healthy and open. We never log your activity, and we're transparent about how the product works — our code is open-source.
