## Description

Unofficial third-party proxy extension for NordVPN users.

This add-on lets you route Firefox browsing traffic through supported NordVPN SOCKS5 proxy endpoints using your NordVPN manual setup service credentials. Credentials are stored locally in Firefox extension storage on your device and are used only for proxy authentication.

What it does:
- Connects Firefox to supported NordVPN SOCKS5 proxy endpoints
- Lets you choose a supported location and switch between endpoints
- Stores manual setup service credentials locally in the browser profile
- Works only inside Firefox when enabled

What it does not do:
- It is not a system-wide VPN
- It does not change traffic for other apps on your device
- It does not collect analytics, browsing history, or sell/share user data

Important:
- Requires an active NordVPN subscription and manual setup service credentials
- Use NordVPN service credentials, not your account password
- Private windows require the separate Firefox permission "Run in Private Windows"
- Unofficial third-party extension, not affiliated with or endorsed by Nord Security
