Firefox built-in VPN stopped working after working fine for 10-20 hours, showing "VPN is unavailable - local laws and restrictions" error even though I haven't used up my 50GB limit.

Hello,

Until about 10-20 hours ago, the Firefox built-in VPN was working fine for me. Suddenly it stopped working and I can no longer enable it.

I have not used up my 50GB monthly limit.

When I try to turn the VPN on, after a few seconds I get this error:

VPN is unavailable Local laws and restrictions limits where you can use VPN

Also, when I check about:config → browser.ipProtection.enabled, I see this response:

{"subscribed":false,"uid":5956457,"maxBytes":"53687091200","limited_bandwidth":true}

Could you please check why the VPN became unavailable even though my data limit is not exhausted?

Thank you.

If you check Unable to find the built-in VPN in Firefox are you sure you're within the "List of countries where the Firefox built-in VPN is available"?
