Mozilla is planning something, subscribe for updates: https://premium.firefox.com/vpn/ https://premium.firefox.com/vpn/ Presumably, they'll partner with a vendor that they can audit, but who knows. Having worked at Mozilla I'm confident lots of individuals would leak if forced to build backdoors :)

Hard to trust an american company, given the track record of the government influence.

  Hard to believe any VPN company provides serious protection from the American government. In the highly unlikely event that the company won't cooperate they can just comprise you outside that channel. See everyone who thought Tor was enough to evade the US government. I trust Mozilla to not cooperate with anyone less powerful than Uncle Sam which is a lot more than most shady fly-by-night VPN operators. If you're using your VPN as protection against your ISP, wifi provider (internet Cafe, school, workplace, home), or some other MITM you're better off with a service run by a serious company, with a lot to lose from a scandal and a long track record of not lying and being technically competent. If you're looking to hide your browsing from the US government you should a) give up or b) definitely not use a commercial VPN.

I would not trust Mozilla in 2019, they have proven time and time again they will sell their users, and privacy down the river for Business Gain

    Really? do you not follow the news at all? 1. Their Backdoor of Advertisements Plugins (Ref the USA network Ads for Mr. Robot) 2. Their Forcing DoH through CloudFlare 3. Their change to require OptOut instead of OptIn for most Privacy violating features (like User Telmentary data) 4. Their starting of the Mozilla Ministry of Truth strait out of an Orwell novel 5. Banning of Plugins due to Ideology 6. Their recent push for Online Censorship That is just a start

  That inevitably leads me to ask about your web browser. What are you using and why?
