I discovered that I can have Mullvad activated at the same time as ProtonVPN, while Proton is running from the Firefox extension. I’m on Linux.
When I look up my IP and location, the one that shows up is Proton’s, and Mullvad doesn’t detect itself on its website.
My questions are:
- Are all my programs running through Mullvad, except Firefox?
- Can websites get confused because of the conflicting information?
- I was just playing around, but does this have any practical utility?
Thank you all in advance!
VPN alone is not able to grant you real privacy, and it is just one piece of the process. Websites can fingerprint you through data from your browser, CPU/GPU model, among others.
The scheme is so bizarre that not even through the use of virtual machines does it grant real privacy.
I just want to access the websites my darling Government has decided I can’t see
