Per-Container VPN Routing in Firefox/Zen
Enable Proton VPN to define VPN routes not only globally across Firefox—as currently supported—but also on a per-container basis, similar to Mozilla VPN’s behavior. This enhancement would significantly increase flexibility and privacy for containerized browsing workflows.
Use Case Examples:
- Personal Container: Connect through the user’s home country to access domestic services such as banking or local news.
- Language Learning Container: Route traffic via a foreign country to immerse in content and media in the target language.
- Work Container: Use a dedicated VPN route optimized for workplace access or remote server geolocation.
- Research Container: Connect via specialized regions to bypass censorship or access region-specific data sources.
Benefits:
- Fine-grained privacy control tailored to each browsing activity.
- Seamless multi-regional browsing within a single Firefox session.
- More purposeful and contextual VPN usage, reducing the need for frequent manual switching.
This feature would be especially relevant for the Zen browser, which is heavily based on Firefox and emphasizes the use of workspaces (containers). Integrating per-container VPN routing would perfectly complement Zen’s workflow-centric architecture and empower users with even more precise control.
