    • Firefox's VPN Is One of the VPNs of All Time

      We like Mozilla, we really do, but use this VPN sparingly and with the knowledge that it'll be quite trivial for sites to figure out what your real IP address is. Unless you're into that kind of thing. Using a WebRTC call, sites can easily bypass the VPN's protection to see your real IP address unless you manually turn it off in about:config. The option is "media.peerconnection.enabled"

      It seems Vivaldi's built-in VPN does indeed protect against this leakage, so it's not like it can't be done.

            In the US, the FCC has banned foreign consumer grade routers... which is basically all of them. And what does "consumer-grade" even mean? Instead, what do a couple of Linux nerds suggest to try? LINUX OF COURSE! Or even BSD if you're fancy.
