Since the launch of its browser in early 2016, Brave has become something for many users synonymous with privacy. And it’s normal, because its statement of intent, which was summed up by the policy “Fix the web” and proposed to block ads and tracking codes by default, marked a before and after in the idea that many users have of how it should be in relation to your personal data, your internet browsing experience.

Since then we have seen how the browser managed to get a community of usersand at the same time as the company expanded its range of products and services. The main example of this is Brave Search, a search engine that inherited its philosophy of protecting user privacy from the browser and which recently announced its premium plan, or the VPN and firewall service that debuted in July 2020, initially only on iOS.

From then until now, the subscription service has been available through Android and iOS, which is an interesting sign that the company seems to be prioritizing the mobile market over the desktop. In this way sa monthly fee of $9.99 or with annual payment of $99.99users add the use of these two services to the protection that Brave already offers with its own browser features.

But just because the mobile market is important to the company doesn’t mean it’s forgetting about users using Brave on PC. As announced on his official blog, Brave Firewall + VPN is now available for Windows and macOS. The deployment started today, although it may take a few days for it to go global, so the company recommends checking back regularly for the next few days until this option is available.

There will be no changes in subscription prices, at least initially, to enable the use of the service in up to five devices. Users who want to connect more devices can do so for an additional payment of Rs two dollars a month for each of them. At this price, these are the features that Brave Firewall + VPN offers, as described by the company:

• Hide your IP address
• Change your location online
• Prevent your ISP from snooping on your activity
• Access your favorite content wherever you are
• Protect your internet traffic in apps out Brave browser

The last point is particularly interesting, and it is the protection offered by the service is not limited to the use of the Brave browser, but applies to the entire operating system, although in the specific case of Windows it will be necessary to install an additional add-on. Therefore, when assessing its price, we must take into account that we are talking about a global, multi-system and multi-device privacy solution, which makes it a very interesting option.
