Yeah, so just get your own VPN up and running in half an hour. Invite your family to use it, too. That's probably around 5-10 $/month with some cloud VPS thingy

Yeah, so just get your own VPN up and running in half an hour. Invite your family to use it, too. That's probably around 5-10 $/month with some cloud VPS thingy for everybody in your house. Did it myself, combined with a PiHole, and it worked like a charm. In regards of trust: Mozilla is just another big corporation, a VPN from some other big tech company (one that isn't into advertising - how about Apple?) would just be as trustworthy.

If not, how many different countries can your endpoint be located in? Again, if you can't choose from a large list of arbitrary countries, then this doesn't satisfy many people's VPN use case. (2) You are assuming a technical level of competence that most people don't have. Even if they do, they often would rather just pay for something simple that works rather than have yet another thing to maintain. (3) Yeah, Apple would be as trustworthy to most people. But they aren't doing it. A service that doesn't exist isn't a real competitor. I think there's a real potential in this space for a non-shady company, and Mozilla seems like the best candidate.
