Consider about Mozilla VPN and Obscura VPN

Dear My Friends,

I am considering about Mozilla VPN and Obscura VPN. As I know they are the same and is the partner of Mullvad and using Mullvad Servers. As my opinion:

  • Mozilla VPN is high trust with long history but it is high cost for monthly.
  • Obscura VPN is young, it is good price ($8/month) with Mozilla VPN.

Currently, I prefer Obscura VPN than Mozilla VPN because of price but it is too young and not too much information and review.

Can you have give me some advice’s?

Thanks,

Mullvad or IVPN.

It is functionally the same as Mullvad, whereas Obscura adds servers, it’s the whole principle.

The only right answer here are the official PG recommendations. Though Mullvad and IVPN are much better since their kill switch implementations are much better. Please only choose one of these two as your VPN.

Maybe Mullvad is another option.

Yes. Thank you for your feedback. Maybe consider to back to Mullvad for saving cost.

Thank you for your feedback. It seems Mullvad is fixed with me. I will consider more about Mullvad.

The moment you pay with credit card, you can say bye bye to any kind of privacy.
Most vpn are pure data farm, honey pot.
Mullvad is nice & convenient (I use it) but there is still an element of trust about the logs, so the right way to do it (& I don’t do it lol) is to actually rent a vps with crypto (monero or through monero) & set it up as a no log vpn server. It takes time & the choice of countries is limited (only hosting service accepting crypto & not asking for phone/id), the bandwidth is limited & if you want more than one country it will cost a lot more…

Both don’t offer robust kill switches!

Not to sound grim but with all the respect, as a person who witnessed the ban of all big VPNs in my region (Proton, Adguard, Windscribe etc.), I would suggest you to use Tor with Whonix. If Tor’s network goes down then all of us will have more important goals to think about rather than evaluating another VPN solution.

@kapkap oh dont be so dramatic. To OP- you can obviously still gain all the privacy and pay with a credit card; where you will suffer is if you are trying to hide from the vpn or anyone who can force the vpn to hand over your data.

@pg.user the tor project released TorVPN, it seems pretty cool. Still in beta but i use it anyway. They released a really good “threat model” blog as well. And sam bent released an interesting video on it.

Nym VPN is neat and works well for me so far.

Tor’s obfuscation is more obvious for censor to spot.

Download pages, Apple’s app store pages for Tor Browser are also removed per legal requests in various countries.

Dear @Anonymous582 ,

Both Mozilla VPN and Obscura VPN use Mullvad’s servers, but they differ in privacy design and logging practices.

  • Mozilla VPN logs your IP address for 90 days for fraud prevention, which creates a privacy risk despite audits. ( refer at Mozilla Subscription Services | Privacy Notice — Mozilla )
  • Obscura VPN uses a two-party setup where it never sees your traffic or logs IP, making surveillance impossible by design; it passed a Cure53 audit. But it is still young.

If you consider for selecting one of them. I suggest to choose Obscura VPN for top privacy, as no single party can link your identity to activity.

Dear @lamtrinhdev ,

Thank you for your feedback. That is a good the answer and clear information for me. I just think Mozilla VPN is no-logs but it has 90 days logs IP :-1:.

:fearful:

It is however important to note that signing up to use Obscura is not private nor anonymous. Someone can still figure out, if they really want to, that you have purchased to use Obscura VPN.

You can only renew privately/anonymously but a first time sign up is not private at all.

Dear @anon25722375 ,

Could you give me more information about it? I see Obscura VPN support to sign up random that is the same as Mullvad.

Dear @Cyber-Typhoon ,

I see it is higher than Mullvad. The price, I just compare with Mozilla VPN in this topic.

It should be clear from my comment that I’m referring to payment here. What else does signing up mean for the first time mean to you?

Dear @anon25722375 ,

Sorry for my mistake. I see Obscura VPN that supports payment with “Bitcoin over Lightning” and Monero , they are good privacy.
