Download and install Mozilla VPN to connect to the internet through one of our secure servers, keeping your location and online activity private and throwing off data collectors.

Your subscription allows you to run Mozilla VPN on up to five devices at the same time. If Mozilla VPN is installed on multiple profiles on one device, each profile will count as a device. To learn more, visit Are there limits to my Mozilla VPN connection?

Note: Mozilla VPN is available for:

  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)
  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
  • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat)
  • Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole)

If you use one of the supported Ubuntu releases, there are two ways to install mozillavpn official packages hosted on launchpad:

Ubuntu command line mode

To set up the APT repository and install the Mozilla VPN .deb package, follow these steps:

Install commands:

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillacorp/mozillavpn
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install mozillavpn


It may be necessary to install resolvconf if the final command fails, which can also be done using apt:

  • sudo apt-get install resolvconf mozillavpn


Run command:

  • mozillavpn

After the Mozilla VPN client launches, click Get Started and sign in with your Mozilla account credentials. If you don’t have a subscription, visit the Mozilla VPN website and choose the plan that is right for you.
