MozVPN is an alternative CLI and GUI client for MozillaVPN.
When MozillaVPN showed up in May 2021 Mozilla published clients for Ubuntu Linux only, which didn't run on my OpenSuse machine. This was the motivation to implement this alternative client.
The following instructions assume that everything is installed and setup
(incl. wireguard
and wireguard-tools
)
and you have a subscription for MozillaVPN. For details see the
complete documentation on https://mozvpn.readthedocs.io.
To start the GUI for mozvpn just run:
$ mozvpn gui (or alternatively) $ xmozvpn
A window should open and allow you to select the desired VPN server endpoint
from a choice of cities in various countries. Then just click the connect
button, and you should have a running VPN.
The command line interface can be used to connect or disconnect to MozillaVPN from a linux or windows shell. Also the current status of the connection can be obtained.
Examples:
$ mozvpn status Not connected $ mozpvn up de4-wireguard # must match files in /etc/wireguard/*.conf Connected to: de4-wireguard $ mozvpn status Connected to: de4-wireguard $ mozpvn down de4-wireguard Disconnected from: de4-wireguard $ mozvpn status Not connected
