    Thekid7, thanks for your reply. However i am still not understanding. You, I assume were talking about running an exe file ( installer ) sandboxed ! Yes ?
    This is not what i meant.
    Boxvpn, as far as i know requires no download. Just manual settings to your network connection https://www.boxpn.com/setupwin7.aspx
    I just want to know, if i sign up and pay for a vpn, when I connect to the internet, will my forced firefox open sandboxed.
    Cheers
    Obviously, I don't want to pay for something , if there are going to be problems :)

    A VPN, existant or otherwise, has no effect on whether or not a application is sandboxed. A VPN is simply an encrypted connection, nothing more. Applications will be forced to be sandoxed if they have been set up to do so. If not they won't. The VPN, in this case, is irrelevant.
