How does Mozilla VPN compare to other VPN providers? (lemmy.ml)

My subscription to my current VPN, Private Internet Access, just expired. I'm wondering if I should renew it or try another VPN service. I've been curious about Mozilla's new VPN lately, but I don't know how well it compares to competitors. Apparently it uses Mullvad VPN's infrastructure, and I have heard good things about it. A weird thing is that Mozilla VPN is a little bit cheaper than Mullvad, at $4.99 a month compared to about $5.50 a month. Is Mozilla VPN worth using, or should I go with Mullvad directly, or stick with Private Internet Access, or another VPN service? My main concerns are privacy and performance.

Mullvad supports both, but I'm not sure about Mozilla. Mullvad clients are all libre, I don't know about Mozilla, but I imagine they are, too.

Yep, you can download mullvad configs and use wg-quick up mullvad-de20 etc if you don’t want to use client. The client is good though so you don’t have to update configs when servers go down or are added etc.

re mozilla vpn:

We don’t log, track, or share any of your network activity. We adhere strictly to Mozilla’s Data Privacy Principles, and we only collect the most minimal data required to keep the VPN healthy and operational.

which probably means they’re doing telemetry
