I keep my VPN for only one specific web browser so when I want to turn on the VPN I have to exit every App/Service in Windows 10 and this gets REALLY tedious.
Has anyone tried using a VPN extension that resides and ONLY changes the IP address in that ONE and ONLY web browser?
I need to shut down every App when I use the VPN because I don’t want to accidentally login to one of my bank accounts or another account that assumes I’m always in the same country. I also use some websites that do not allow VPN’s to be used and ban users upon discovery…
I’ve done an insane amount of research on this but I just can’t find a concrete guarantee that VPN extensions are secure and reliable?
Obviously I want to pay for a VPN product as the free VPN’s seem FAR too dangerous to even consider.
I just realised that I could always use 2 PC devices at the same time: One PC device with VPN turned on and one PC device with VPN turned off, but I can’t do that.
I forgot to mention that one problem with the Mullvad VPN extension is that it’s NOT available on the Official Mozilla Extension Database:
I’m very selective before I install any extension and I’ve NEVER tried installing an extension that didn’t come from the Official Mozilla Database.
Please note that all extensions on Firefox, wheter they come from addons.mozilla.org or elsewhere, need to be signed by Mozilla. So if you can add the extension, it has gone trough automatic testing, and probably human verification as well.
If you want to have a single whole browser go through a Mullvad VPN proxy, the easiest is to set a proxy in the browser settings directly.
The Mullvad Browser Extension would enable you to have different proxies for different websites, but since that’s not your usecase, then you might as well configure directly at browser level.
