Firefox tests its own VPN. Firefox Private Network. The developer Mozilla has launched its own virtual private network (VPN) for its Firefox browser, which allows users to hide their IP address when browsing, also offering protection for WiFi networks, and which has started to be tested after several years of development.

Mozilla has resurrected its Firefox Test Pilot program, Firefox Private Network, as the VPN is known, is in beta and at the moment Mozilla only allows users to use the desktop version of the browser from the United States, as explained by the company in a statement.

Firefox Private Network is, in the words of those responsible, "an extension that provides a secure and encrypted route to the web." The goal is, they say, to protect our connection and personal information wherever we use our Firefox browser.

The Firefox VPN has several functions, being the first and the main one, as with this type of tools, allowing the user to hide the IP address from which he is connecting through encryption, so that they cannot Access it to third parties, such as advertising companies.

The Firefox Private Network features are:

· Protection in public WiFi hotspots: whether you are waiting in your doctor's office, the airport or working from your favorite cafeteria, your Internet connection is protected when you use the Firefox browser thanks to a secure tunnel to the web, which Protects all your confidential information, such as the web addresses you visit, personal and financial information.

· Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are hidden, making it harder to track. Your IP address is like a particular address for your computer. One of the reasons you may want to keep it hidden is to prevent ad networks from tracking your browsing history. Firefox Private Network will mask your IP address and provide protection against third-party crawlers on the web.

· Turn on the button at any time. When you click on the browser extension, you will find an on / off switch that shows you if it is currently protected, which you can activate at any time if you want additional privacy protection, or deactivate it if it is not necessary at that time.

· Firefox Private Network is currently only one beta and the company has warned that it will modify the tool in the coming months based on the opinions it receives from the testers. Mozilla has now relaunched the show after launching it as an "add-on" test originally three years ago and closing the pilot in January. Let's see if he arrives in Spain.
