    50GB per month would be fine for me. But I’d want to know if it quietly turns off the VPN when the data cap is reached.
    Does it have a kill switch that disconnects in time when the VPN fails? And what would happen if authorities demand user data from Mozilla. Do they keep their logs?

    Also, what’s the current recommendation for a paid VPN?

      Other comments kind of allude to it, but Mullvad is the go-to recommendation for private VPN services in general. It’s not very cheap, but it’s also not compromised like most of the ones you’ll see on sketchy review sites and sponsorships.*

      * Edit: including the VPNs TechRadar promotes in the middle of their own article.

        Mullvad is dirt cheap though? $5 a month? Isn’t that just like the minimum amount a vpn can even cost these days?
