1766170 - Multi-account container custom VPN especially DPN.

Status: RESOLVED MOVED

(Mozilla VPN :: General, enhancement)

Description

[petrlozhkin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:99.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/99.0

Steps to reproduce:

I am very happy with "Multi-account container" and especially with ability to connect different containers to different locations. I switched to Mozilla VPN for it.
But now I have huge dilemma. I got my Deeper connect Pico for DPN. And I very like web 3.0 . But I can't use Multi-account designated VPN with it.
I would understand you keep this feature only for your VPN (though I would be ready to pay that containers could connect to third party vpn) as your business model but now when DPN come it doesn't have sense to me.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Cloud Services::Server: Firefox Accounts' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Would you please add some more details, we are not familiar with DPN. Thanks

I believe this is related to this product: https://shop.deeper.network/products/deeper-connect-pico-wi-fi-adapter

If I understand correctly, this is a request to have the Multi-account containers support this VPN. Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible without a deep integration with the specific software from the vendor.

If I'm misunderstanding, please feel free to reopen or add a comment, petrlozhkin.

Yes. It related to this and some other competitors. DECENTRALIZED PRIVATE NETWORK.
I love your integration of Mozilla VPN with Firefox containers. I understand that you locked it to your VPN.
So far there are no something revolutional that other VPN providers can offer.

Till there are DECENTRALIZED PRIVATE NETWORK. I have the deeper connect but there are others decentralized private network providers.
In DPN all network peers can be VPN providers: dangerous and powerful idea. I use it for some time and I extremely satisfied. For example I edited Wikipedia from IP address of South Africa(do you even know VPN provider who has servers in Africa?) . I tested it on many services which block traditional VPNs (I tested MozillaVPN and ExpressVPN)

So for me, as I can't live without Firefox containers, is very important to prepare changes to be able to use DPN with containers. I just will not be able to use MozillaVPN. It's not competitor to DPNs. Of course if you will not create own DPN then I will be happy to try it out and support it :)

We already have a bug filed upstream for this feature request (See https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/2252) so I'm closing this issue has moved to avoid duplicates on different issue trackers.

Also, as a possible alternative, you can use a different VPN provider/server if it offers an http or socks proxy.

Thank you for the link! I didn't know there was a git repository for it.
I will track it there.
