I would prefer something a bit more granular than changing my device's network configuration and sending all of its traffic through the same VPN. Just because I want to watch a movie through a server in another country doesn't mean that I also want my video chat app or stock trading app to take the same detour.
Since this is Mozilla, how about a Firefox extension that passes all Firefox traffic through a VPN, like Tor Browser does, but doesn't touch any other app? That would differentiate it from most of the other VPN offerings out there. Currently my go-to solution is to set up a local SOCKS proxy with an SSH tunnel and point Firefox at it. It's good enough for testing, but not all services work properly when accessed that way.
- npteljes 6y agoI completely agree with this. If Firefox worked this way, or even just some special tabs of it, that would be great. Brave has TOR tabs AFAIR. Also an easy to use app would be great that can manage other apps' network connections - some could be blocked, some could be redirected through a VPN, etc.
