I am on this Windows work laptop and I want to use a VPN to visit some sites for work. I have been using my own domestic IP. But lately I have been seeing some ads related to the sites I visit on my Gmail app (Recommended by Google).
The VPN provider I use has a browser extension. But that would be my last resort. Anything FOSS would be perfect.
Just found this project called wireproxy that creates a proxy endpoint for Wireguard. You can then configure Firefox to use that proxy. Haven’t tried it but might be what you’re looking for?
I assume you can also install it on another machine in your home network and point Firefox to the port on that machine if you can’t install to your work computer.
You could also could try running Firefox in a Linux virtual machine if you have or can install virtualization software. KDE and I assume most other desktop environments have one click importers for VPN profiles. This also helps isolate browser fingerprinters which may also be why you’re seeing targeted ads.
