Mozilla activates Firefox VPN for users in Spain

VPN in Firefox

Last March, Mozilla He launched Firefox 149Among its new features, we could read that it offered a free VPN. Initially, the service was only available in the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, but it is now also available to Spanish users. It's worth noting that its use is said to be unlimited until August, but after that, there will be a 50GB monthly limit.

It's clear that nobody likes to read about limits, but let me tell you that 50GB is a very generous amount of dataIn other cases, the free monthly allowance is 500MB, which is also sufficient if all we want to do is bypass a block occasionally. A typical website can load in just a few megabytes; even less if the page we're visiting has few images and they're well compressed.

How to activate Firefox VPN

Although Firefox's VPN has been available since version 149, users in Spain We need to be using Firefox 151 or laterUpon launching it, and assuming activation has been received, you'll see something like the header screenshot: a button labeled "VPN" inviting you to start testing. Incidentally, it's currently in beta.

After clicking "Start," you'll see another window where you need to confirm you want to activate it. Simply click "Continue." Once activated, clicking the VPN button will allow you to turn it on or off. It offers five locations: Germany, Canada, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, plus a "Recommended" option that will choose the fastest one for you.

It also offers the option to use the VPN automatically when accessing a website, by leaving the "Use VPN on this site" switch enabled. This is great, as we won't have to manually activate it when we want to access a problematic website.

Although it is said that there will be no limits until August, it is likely that we will see them, something to keep in mind.
