Firefox Community Forum

When navigating to the site https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer with Firefox's built-in VPN turned on and the Location set to the United Kingdom the site still displays the message "Sorry, BBC iPlayer isn’t available in your region.". Why is this, and how can it be fixed?

I am interested in using the built-in VPN. The directions say to turn on VPN in Firefox I should go to the VPN setup prompt in the top-right corner of the Firefox toolbar, or the VPN icon. There is nothing about VPN in my toolbar. I am running 153.0.1

The free native VPN stays enabled when I launch Firefox at the start of every day after turning on my Desktop PC, but the problem is that despite the VPN itself being 'on', it's not actually 'on'.

To make the actual VPN work I need to turn the VPN 'off' and then turn the VPN back 'on' again.

I know for a fact that the VPN doesn't instantly work at launch by default because I use the VPN to bypass the age verification popup message on https://www.reddit.com

The age verification popup message appears on Reddit when the VPN is claimed to be 'on'.

So like I said, when I turn the VPN 'off' and then back 'on' this makes the VPN actually work like normal.

It's annoying having to switch the VPN 'off' and then back 'on' every time I fire up Firefox to the foreground for the first time.

Can this bug be fixed?

I've enabled the FireFox VPN in my browser, but it's annoying because I have to turn on the VPN every time I start FireFox! Why does the VPN not start automatically? I've searched all the options, but there doesn't seem to be one to fix this problem.

I just wanted to make sure my vpn will work on keeping all my information protected so I don't get hacked and have my personal information all over the dark web thank you for looking into this for me

When I press F9 (browsing mode), the VPN automatically turns on. Why is this? This happens even if the VPN was previously disabled on that website!

It's also unclear why I enable the VPN on one website, but it automatically turns on on all the websites I visit. Why? I don't understand! I only need it on one website! I have to constantly disable it! Sometimes websites won't open because of the VPN. But I don't always remember that I have it enabled! Very inconvenient!

I would like to restrict VPN to specific sites which have privacy issues. When I turn VPN on for a site I have opened, it states it will keep it on for that site. However, as I close it and do other work, when I return to that site, the VPN is off. Instructions for VPN show how to keep it from sites, but is there a more positive way to insure it will be attached to a site? Thank you.

Can you safely run Norton VPN (WireGuard) and Firefox VPN at the same time on the same Windows device. Is there any increased risk of routing collisions, adapter conflicts, DNS leaks, dropped connections, or other issues for using both.

The built in VPN worked great for me for a couple of months, but now whenever I try to turn it on, it starts with the "Get Started" screen, which takes me to a page to confirm my account. When I press continue the VPN button just goes back to the "Get Started" screen & the loop repeats. I've tried signing out & refreshing my Firefox installation but I keep getting the same result. Before it started doing this the button to turn on the VPN was appearing but would not react to clicks.

I have been an avid fan and promoter for others to try it. But now, don't see FireFox VPN active.

Since I actually knowing had Firefox browser VPN, supported your group by paying for Mozilla VPN for a year.

Now, was wondering if I could find out if what I thought was a VPN built in the Firefox browser, but all my communication and searches have not proved successful.

Thanks. ideachaser
