I’ve been using Hoxx VPN Proxy add-on on Mozilla Firefox for 2 days now. I’m too broke to pay for a VPN so searched for a free one and found Hoxx, it was also highly rated. And yes, it does work great. I can connect to many different countries and it doesn’t take long- it is highly satisfying considering that it is free. I know some people say free ones aren’t good so I wanna know, any of you who have used Hoxx, what do you think about it?
Yea definitely read the privacy policy, it’s complete trash.
Haven’t used this. My personal choice is browsec or betternet. Both are addons. While the former lets you choose one of the multiple free locations while the latter is also available as an Android VPN app.
Out of curiosity can you go to https://ipleak.net/ ?
Pratically if you see your country flag while being connected to another country server with the VPN it means you have a dns leak.
Also, being only an extention for a browser it’s pratically useless privacy-wise, because anything you do outside your browser (like e-mail, torrent, VMs etc) will still use your home network.
I had been a happy Hoxx-ter for several weeks as an add-on to Firefox. But this morning, I received an email with typos, no Hoxx logos, and several languages. It claimed to be from “usersupport@hoxx.” It provided some characters and said those were my new password, and to log on to a link to reenter Hoxx and update my password. My tech support agreed that it looked suspicious and we uninstalled Hoxx. Has Hoxx been haxxed?
I hope you found something better. If not, find their privacy policy and read through it. I promise you will be disgusted.

You might as well not use it; they are selling all of your personal info
You gotta pay in one way or other. Some do with money. Others by watching ads or going through a wait time. So I guess we all pay in the end.
read the hoxx privaxy policy. they collect so much data on you its unbelievable. everything from your cell phone number to unique ids from your PC hardware. they are crooks… almost garunteed that they are selling your data or using it themselves for some sketchy stuff.
Their ‘privacy’ policy is no privacy at all.
Your better off not having a VPN at all.
AFAIK Hoxx is free to use and you get many different countries of choice. There are premium servers for a fee which I think have higher bandwidth. But otherwise the free ones work great and there are no ads of any sort.
Of course. Good to know that there is one more choice.
