Season 20, Episode 12 (#472)
On this episode of For Mac Eyes Only: Join Mike and Darren as they discuss a listener question from Lisa about the new Firefox Free VPN. How does it work in practice and why should you use it? How does the new free VPN in Firefox compare to paid services, Apple’s Private Relay, or even free VPNs that can be found in other browsers like Opera? Darren questions how VPNs are being used in conjunction with new age verification laws and shares a Quick Tip on selecting a VPN that has your interests at heart, not their wallets. The episode wraps with Mike’s Essential App pick: Mappa Mini!

Yes! How awesome is that?! I love it! As Darren said, it’s almost as if they were listening to the show. But…pretty sure that wasn’t the case. LOL!
