It bypasses my DNS when I turn it on and I don't want that to happen. I want this PC to never be able to turn it on again. That probably isn't possible, but I gotta ask. In the meantime: how do I use LinuxMint's firewall to ban the usage of the VPN?

Also: can the firefox devs make that an option? To have the option to never turn it on again?

Multi-account containers and Mozilla VPN

Using Mozilla VPN (Flathub version 2.39), Firefox Multi-account Containers won't let me assign a location per container as it did with the APT version - instead, under each container config it just says "Get Mozilla VPN" on a blue button.

But it does use the old config I had (so my old "US" container still exits in the USA, for instance).

This occurred on my old Ubuntu 24.04 system, using Gnome desktop; and also now on my new KDE system (Plasma 6.7.4) even if I tweak "configure permissions" in Discover to allow access to everything.

Any help gratefully received!

Hello

I just activated the Mozilla built-in VPN (beta).

I wanted to ask about the whitelist and blacklist features.

I can see currently, that there is an option to add specific websites in the VPN settings, and that the tooltip says "Use VPN for all websites except the ones on the list", acting as sort of a whitelist for the VPN features.

However, I am wondering if there is an option for a blacklist, where i would like to keep VPN off by default for all websites, except the ones on the blacklist.

For a simple example: wowhead.com is blocked in my country of origin, so I would love if i can turn on the VPN for ONLY that website - and keep the rest of my traffic on other websites without the vpn.

I just recently installed the VPN on Firefox. It hadn't shown up because of my privacy settings. It works fine except for the United States connection. When I choose the other countries, it works fine, but when I choose United States, it still shows Japan (where I live). It still shows Japan, but it does have an effect. It changes it to Tokyo, where I don't live. So, the vpn is having some effect, but it is just not connecting to the United States. Why is that?
