Thanks for your reply
It's great point, we'll work on Firefox add-on to show a notification about that.

By "the default web browser", I meant the one I get if I simply boot
uVirtus and double-click the "Internet" launcher on the desktop,
without further operation from my part. Once I manually start the VPN,
then yes, web browsing flows through it.
Perhaps the web homepage should make it clear that the announced
security features are held only after some manual steps are taken?
