Firefox Private Network: Mozilla has restarted a Firefox trial that had previously stopped in January on 2019.
The new feature it's currently testing is 'Firefox Private Network', a private mediation service powered by Cloudflare.
The company says the new service can be useful on networks you can't trust, such as a public one network Wi-Fi access.
Once connected to the service, it hides your IP address and the traffic between your computer and the proxy server is encrypted.
The program tourς θα δημιουργεί μια ασφαλή σύνδεση στο πλησιέστερο κέντρο δεδομένων της Cloudflare και ο διακομιστής μεσολάβησης της Cloudflare θα σας προστατεύει από κακόβουλους τρίτους.
Key Features of Firefox Private Network
Protection when you are in public places accesss WiFi. If you're waiting at the airport or in a coffee shop, your internet connection will be protected when you use the Firefox browser thanks to a secure web tunnel. All your sensitive information like the web addresses you visit, personal and financial information will be protected.
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses will be hidden, making it harder to find.
Your IP address is like a home address for your computer. One of the reasons you might want to keep it hidden is to prevent ad networks from tracking your record browsing. Firefox Private Network will hide your IP address providing protection from third-party trackers across the web.
Activate the service at any time. Clicking on the browser extension can turn the service on or off if you don't need it.
The feature is reminiscent of Opera's slightly embedded VPN, which, despite the name, it's also an encrypted proxy server.
Firefox Private Network is released as an extension of the browser. It is currently restricted to Firefox users residing in the U.S. During the tests, the service will be available free of charge. In the future, Mozilla may start charging the security service.
