Free browser-plugin VPN

NordVPN for Firefox is a virtual private network (VPN) extension for the Firefox browser that reroutes and encrypts internet traffic through a remote server. It also hides your IP address, allowing you to search anonymously. Activating NordVPN is simple once you've signed in to your account. Click the Quick Connect button on the NordVPN extension in your browser. You will be linked to the best available server.

What is the best free VPN for Firefox?

In addition to traditional VPN functions, NordVPN for Firefox provides many unique features, namely WebRTC blockage and CyberSec. WebRTC is an open-source project that allows others to view your online activity via your web browser, passing through your IP address when you browse the internet. The browser claims to block this when you use the Firefox browser. The CyberSec feature ensures a smooth web experience

This is done by deliberately blocking intrusive ads. When you browse the net, CyberSec also defends against harmful malicious websites. The extension adds a browser toolbar icon with which you communicate. The name and password of your NordVPN must be entered manually. If you copy and paste details, the extension will immediately shut down. 

You may choose a place from which to connect to the server. The connection process works well, but the application lagged when tested with the latest version of Firefox. Other factors for lagging could be another browser extension or an app on the browser. The app's icon specifies the link status and you can set the extension to automatically bind to a server when the browser starts.

Portable and secure program

NordVPN for Firefox is a lightweight alternative to VPN programs. Rather than installing it on your computer, this VPN works with your default browser—in this case, it’s Firefox. It’s able to block users from viewing your internet activity and it’s also capable of blocking advertisements. With these security measures in place, your information cannot be traced or stored. It’s a suitable program for those that use this particular browser more often than other programs on their computer.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
