Linux users who care about privacy just got another reason to celebrate. Mozilla has quietly added its Mozilla VPN app to Flathub, making the secure internet tool easier to install across a wide range of Linux distributions.
Mozilla VPN, built by the same organization behind Firefox, offers users a fast and simple way to protect their connection and keep data private while browsing. With over 500 servers in 30+ countries, the app supports up to five connected devices at once and features strong encryption, no logging, and even multi-hop routing for an added layer of protection.
While Mozilla VPN has been available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS for a while now, Linux support has mostly been relegated to direct downloads or command-line installation. Publishing on Flathub removes that friction, allowing users to easily install the app through Flatpak with just a few clicks. It also ensures updates are seamless, which is key for a security-focused tool like this.
The Flathub release is currently listed as “unverified,” but it appears to be an official build, as it links back to Mozilla’s developer page and matches the latest version, 2.29.0. That version was built just hours ago, despite being pushed 23 days after its official upstream release.
Mozilla VPN is not a free service, however. After installation, users need an active Mozilla subscription to connect. The pricing currently starts at around $4.99 per month depending on the region, which puts it in line with other privacy-focused VPN services.
It’s also worth noting that Mozilla VPN uses the WireGuard protocol under the hood, which is known for its modern cryptographic design and performance efficiency. Linux users in particular may appreciate the no-throttling policy and the focus on whole-device protection rather than just browser traffic.
For privacy enthusiasts, this looks like a wise move. Flathub has become the de facto app store for modern Linux desktops, and by bringing Mozilla VPN into that ecosystem, Mozilla is extending its reach in the open-source world it helped shape.
