MozWire VS mozilla-vpn-client

> think they don't support plain wireguard/openvpn from CLI, you're stuck with a client not available for your officially supported OS...

This is possible, I had good results with https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire

If you're happy working directly with wireguard there's https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/ which will give you wireguard configs for MozillaVPN.

I've written a tool to use Mozilla VPN from the command line: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/

You can use this: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/

I wrote a program to be able to get wireguard config files using MozillaVPN you may be interested in: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/

Not sure if this works with 10.13, but you can try: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire

The Mozilla VPN app never worked for me. What I do is use Mozwire to get WireGuard configuration files and use the default WireGuard app works fine.

Hello, shameless plug here, you may be interested in this client for Mozilla VPN: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/

Lastly (shameless plug) you can use Mozilla VPN without using the official client and use https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire.git (here the difference in terms of trust with MozillaVPN is mainly that MozWire is much smaller and so can be audited easily and MozWire is much easier to compile than the official mozilla vpn client).

The summary seems to ignore upstream.

They did infact

removed polkit : https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/70...

refactor auth using D-Bus: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/71...

These are why author's PR was dropped.

git clone https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client.git cd mozilla-vpn-client git submodule update --init

RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

So I intentionally decided not to have IPv4 connectivity system wide to catch apps with issues in IPv6 only environment and then carefully evaluate issues and report them to authors: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/issues/... https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/4121

Dual stack setups tend to hide IPv6 implementation issues and may create illusion that app is IPv6 compatible but in reality it's not.

Clearly my setup is too hostile for home users but as developer I enjoy it a lot.

Mozilla VPN is still in "beta testing" mode, and while everyone works out issues with clients, subscriptions, and all the other fun, it's better to limit the scope of a test. Mozilla VPN will roll out into more countries over time, and if yo want to know when, there's a "join the waitlist"-button on https://vpn.mozilla.org/.

A CLI is available - never used it in a headless environment yet. Hope that helps :) https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/blob/main/docs/Command-line-interface.md

No. The Firefox Private Network browser extension offers set and forget network protection while you shop, bank, and browse in Firefox. It’s lightweight and simple. A VPN is a more robust software application that allows location switching. It’s a separate app you install to secure everything on your device that connects to the internet, including all browsers, social media apps, and banking apps.

Having said that, people can only track you if you make connections to their domains. If you don't even want the owner of a site you visit directly to know you visit it, use Mozilla VPN (if available in your country) or a slower free alternative like Tor or VPN Gate.
