Mozilla launches VPN for Windows, Android

Canada is one of the few countries getting a new VPN service from Mozilla. The organization believes its service stands above the many VPN offerings out there. Mozilla claims it's faster with fewer lines of code than the average VPN. And with its track record with privacy, it claims you can keep your private browsing secure. The organization won't partner with third-party analytics firms or keep user data logs. And those who haven't used a VPN before can figure it out.

Mozilla VPN supports up to five Windows and Android devices for US$5 (around CA$7) per month. And it lets you connect to over 30 servers around the world with WireGuard encryption securing the connection. The software is also available in the US, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, and New Zealand. It will come to more countries in the fall. iOS users will also get the app soon.

Samsung is about to introduce several products at its upcoming Unpacked event. The star will definitely be the Galaxy Note 20 series. The Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+, Galaxy Buds Live, and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 are expected to make an appearance. However, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 might not be launched at the event. 

Max Weinbach, an industry insider and a writer at XDA Developers, says he is 60% sure Samsung won't mention the foldable device at the event and 100% sure it won't make an appearance at all. Weinbach claims claiming that the software for it isn't close to being ready, and we haven't heard much about its hardware either. He estimates that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be announced in early September with a target release of early October. If that is true, there are still many devices that Samsung will be announcing on August 5.
