THINKING ABOUT: Combining F-Secure's Freedome VPN With A 𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐒𝟱 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐗𝐘 In Firefox

Issues4Life

F-Secure's Freedome VPN has a built-in "kill switch" safety feature.

So that in the event that the F-Secure Freedome VPN connection is terminated, all of my Internet traffic is automatically blocked, ensuring that my traffic is not accidentally leaked outside of the F-Secure Freedome VPN's secure tunnel.

However, what happens if I have forgotten to start the F-Secure Freedome VPN?

QUESTION:

Would combining F-Secure's Freedome VPN with a 𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐒𝟱 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐗𝐘 in my Firefox Browser come in handy, to act as back-up protection?

Hi @Issues4Life !

You can avoid forgetting starting and activating F-Secure FREEDOME VPN by enabling those 2 options in the app:

I cannot, however, guarantee that SOCKS5 Proxy in Firefox (I think you must be referring to this) would come in handy, but it's totally up to you.
