VPN for Firefox, starting with Linux

Q: Can Bebra launch at startup on Linux?

Yes. Go to Account → Settings and tick Launch the app on system startup. Only the Linux and Windows apps have this option.

Bebra VPN doesn’t come as a Firefox add-on. The app for Linux, Windows and macOS connects the whole system, and Firefox goes through the tunnel without any setup.

Firefox on Linux

Firefox ships as Ubuntu’s default browser, so Linux comes first here: Bebra has two builds for it. The DEB package is for Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12 and newer and needs NetworkManager. The AppImage is a single file you run without installing a package. Both are x86-64 only.

For a step-by-step install, see the Linux guide.

Download the DEB package

Ubuntu 22.04 and newer, Debian 12 and newer, x86-64 · version 1.21.0

Other options AppImage

Windows, macOS and phones

On Windows, Bebra installs from an EXE file and runs on Windows 7 SP1 and later. The Mac app comes as a DMG for macOS 12 and newer, or from the Mac App Store for macOS 12.4 and newer.

For a phone, install Bebra for Android or iPhone, and Firefox there goes through it like any other app.

Firefox settings worth checking

Firefox setting	What to do
ProxySettings → General → Network Settings	Keep “Use system proxy settings” or choose “No proxy”. A proxy typed in by hand becomes the last hop, so sites see the proxy rather than your Bebra location.
DNS over HTTPSPrivacy & Security	Leave it alone. Firefox’s encrypted DNS lookups also leave the computer through Bebra’s tunnel.
VPN add-onsAdd-ons and themes	Disable them. While one is on, its server is the address sites get.
Private windows	Nothing to change. They go through the VPN just like regular windows.

YouTube follows this table the same way other sites do. With a manual proxy or an active add-on, videos in Firefox skip the country you picked in Bebra too. “VPN for YouTube on PC” explains how to pick a country for video.

Firefox and Bebra on Linux

Firefox on Ubuntu is a snap, and on Debian it’s firefox-esr. Does that matter?

No. Snap is only a way of installing the browser, and ESR is the extended support release. Both reach the network through the system, so with Bebra connected they go through the tunnel like Firefox from a DEB package.
