windowsCultFirefox is adding a free, built-in browser VPN (starting in version 149) for users in the US, UK, France, and Germany, with 50GB of monthly data. It only protects traffic inside Firefox—not other apps so it’s useful for casual privacy but not a full system-wide VPN replacement.
1. Firefox is adding a free, built-in VPN to the browser starting with version 149, initially for users in the US, UK, France, and Germany, with over 50GB of data per month.
2. This VPN works only inside Firefox, protecting just browser traffic not other apps, other browsers, or system-wide network activity so it’s not a full replacement for a stand-alone VPN.
3. Free VPNs can be risky, but Mozilla says its service follows its privacy and data principles; its VPN tech has been independently audited and uses the secure WireGuard protocol.
4. Experts warn the limited scope might give non-technical users a false sense of full protection, even though it only covers web browsing in Firefox.
5. Security expert Jacob Kalvo says it’s good for casual use and the 50GB limit is generous, but he doesn’t recommend it for sensitive data, competitive intelligence, or large-scale operations.

A Journalist Security Checklist: Preparing Devices for Travel Through a US Border
We wrote this checklist to help journalists prepare for transit through a U.S. port of entry while preserving the confidentiality of your most sensitive information, such as unpublished reporting materials or source contact information. It’s important to think about your strategy in advance, and begin planning which options in this checklist make sense for you.

The global Internet is under threat due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — in this area and the Red Sea, key underwater fiber-optic cables run along the bottom, which provide 17 to 30% of global internet traffic.
Dozens of cables connect Europe, Asia, and Africa — they transmit the main traffic of banking systems, cloud services, data centers in the Persian Gulf, and online connections for billions of users around the world.
