- Mozilla has announced that its VPN is now available in all Linux distributions
- This movement occurs after the full device protection service only worked in debian -based configurations, such as Ubuntu
- Users can now access the virtual private network service with easy installation through Flathub or a single -line terminal command
Linux users can now install Mozilla VPN through Flatpak in Flathub, expanding the accessibility of the VPN, which is now available in any compatible Linux distribution without the need for specific packages or additional configurations.
Although the movement does not necessarily transform Mozilla into the best VPN in the market in terms of characteristics, it represents an important impulse for the spread of this VPN focused on privacy, which until now had only worked on systems based on Debian as Ubuntu, among Linux users.
The new configuration joins the great gap that separates it from other VPNs that offer a wide Linux support, such as Nordvpn, Proton VPN and Surfshark, and could see that it rises in the classification, surpassing some competitors due to their comprehensive distribution list. A reliable and ubiquitous brand in the digital space, universal availability can forge the place of Mozilla as the one you should overcome.
Mozilla VPN arrives in Flathub
Use of Flatpak as a universal installer, an approach that works in virtually all the main distributions of Linux (Fedora, Arch, Mint, Kilimanjaro) – Mozilla VPN now simplifies access and configuration in its service for Linux users. This should guarantee compatibility in different distributions thanks to the installation of Sandboxed, reducing the risk of conflicts or vulnerabilities at the system level.
The application offers the same functionality regardless of the distribution, ensuring a consistent experience without the need to change the configuration for different environments, with easy installation through Flathub or simple terminal commands. This makes it much easier to configure for less experienced users, particularly among desktop users who will appreciate their simple user graphic interface (GUI), while increasing the visibility of the VPN.
In addition, Flatpak applications are executed in isolated containers, in line with Mozilla’s philosophy to put privacy first and strive to eliminate vulnerabilities through security controls. This ethos remains one of the reasons why users have adopted the Mozilla VPN in the past, from a reliable brand that has always positioned itself in the market as a completely non -profit company, fighting for a healthy network since the end of the 1990s.
The new Flatpak approach seeks to reinforce the promise of “powerful privacy for maximum mental peace” defended on its website, encouraging adoption by users who appreciate a deep commitment to open source values.
In addition, although Mozilla VPN Flatpak in Flathub is not currently verified, it is still an official burden administered by Mozilla, so it is considered reliable even without the badge.
These changes do not alter the technical skills of the Mozilla VPN offer, which remains a reliable and adequate solution for safety and speed thanks to its application audit of application, divided tunnels, multiple jump connections, support for the Secure Wireguard protocol and its Red Mullvad below.
However, the VPN remains a technical loser compared to the best Linux VPN options that continue to exceed the classifications. It is also unlikely that the measure influences the opinions of users who have criticized the VPN so far, He previously called it an expensive replacement of the VPN Mullvad network, with the highest prices of Mozilla ranging from $ 4.99 to $ 9.99 per month.
The option to use Flatpak is also interesting, since it is still a relatively niche route for the VPN distribution, and only Mozilla is officially backed by the supplier so far.
Other VPN will follow your example? It remains to be seen: some characteristics in Flatpak may still be limited or require additional configuration. In fact, VPNs such as NordvPN already offer command line tools or configuration files that work in different distributions, without the flagpak data swelling of a file file.
However, one thing is safe: Mozilla is competent and universally available. For some, this could be enough.
