Firefox fans often prioritize privacy - which is why finding a free VPN for Firefox is so appealing. Mozilla’s browser doesn’t come with a built-in VPN, and while Mozilla offers a paid VPN service, many users seek a free alternative. Unfortunately, most “free” Firefox VPN extensions and proxies come with serious distrust factors: some inject ads or use your bandwidth for other purposes, and it’s hard to know who is running them. Performance issues are another drawback - a free extension might slow down your Firefox browsing to a crawl, especially when streaming video or loading data-heavy pages. And privacy failures abound: some extensions claiming to secure Firefox have leaked user data or only proxy HTTP traffic, leaving holes in your security.
Enter Anyone, a free VPN solution that perfectly complements Firefox’s privacy ethos. Instead of a simple browser add-on, Anyone gives you a full-fledged VPN connection that covers Firefox (and all other apps) on your device. It’s like having a secure tunnel for your entire internet connection, which means everything you do in Firefox is encrypted and anonymized by a network of relay servers around the world. This network is decentralized and community-powered, so there’s no corporate VPN owner logging your activity. For Firefox users who value transparency, it’s great to know that Anyone is open-source and keeps zero logs. It’s a VPN you can trust as much as your favorite open-source browser.
In terms of usage, Anyone’s free VPN is as fast as it is private. Firefox will remain snappy and responsive because the Anyone network optimizes routes for speed - even though your traffic might hop through several nodes, it doesn’t feel sluggish. Whether you’re watching videos, doing research, or downloading files via Firefox, the connection is fast and stable, unlike many free services that cap speeds. There’s also no bandwidth limit, so you can browse freely without worrying about hitting a quota. Essentially, you’re getting premium VPN performance for free, which makes your Firefox experience even better.
Another plus: this single VPN protects beyond Firefox. If you also use Chrome or Safari, or you have other apps on your computer contacting the web, they’re secured too (no need for separate extensions in each browser). For instance, you might use Firefox on your PC and Safari on your Mac - in both cases Anyone has you covered (see our free VPN for Chrome and free VPN for Safari pages for more info). But if Firefox is your main gateway to the internet, rest assured that with Anyone running, every tab and page is private.
Using Anyone’s VPN with Firefox is simple:
Download the Anyone VPN app for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). You can find the installers in our setup guide (choose your OS to get the right version).
Open the installed application and click to connect. Within seconds, your computer establishes a secure connection to the Anyone network.
Launch Firefox and use it normally. All of your Firefox traffic now goes through the encrypted VPN tunnel. There’s nothing special to configure in the browser - the VPN works at the network level, so Firefox automatically benefits from it.
Now you can surf with Firefox knowing your ISP, network admin, or nosy advertisers can’t see or track your activities.
Firefox has long been a browser for the privacy-conscious. By using Anyone’s free VPN alongside Firefox, you’re doubling down on that privacy - blocking out the eavesdroppers and enjoying the web with true freedom and anonymity.
