When I try to set up the new built-in VPN setting it gets stuck in a loop:

I click the "get started" which then opens another tab where it gets me to confirm my account

Once I do that it says it will automatically open the VPN

When it does so the VPN window is the same one as before with just the "get started" button and no other options.

If I click on that it then opens another new tab and does the exact same thing in an unending loop

About a week ago, I started using VPN Beta, and it worked fine. When I clicked the button at the top of the browser, it prompted me to sign in. I signed in, and the VPN turned on, and everything worked. Now, when I clicked the button, it redirected me to a website that wouldn't load, I received this message: System unavailable, try again soon. Error code: 86392ec4d5b44df682a578382bd577b2 on the website https://accounts.firefox.com/?context=oauth_webchannel_v1&entrypoint=vpn_integration_panel&action=email&service=vpn&utm_campaign=fx-vpn&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=panel&client_id=5882386c6d801776&response_type=code&access_type=offline&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fidentity.mozilla.com%2Fapps%2Foldsync+profile&state=AZ9GKJOVbX4urXTTlaWwJQ&code_challenge=yE-5JozI-ax83Z4z_p-I703-V8av0Fnb0AKLSTM23Gs&code_challenge_method=S256&keys_jwk=eyJjcnYiOiJQLTI1NiIsImV4dCI6dHJ1ZSwia2V5X29wcyI6W10sImt0eSI6IkVDIiwieCI6IlVidDY0c1pESUQzYjRZa2MtSVpkdkR3b1VLbHVFYXA2SU8wY19SNjdCTWMiLCJ5IjoiTDFUUjNOQmprQUxKb2JveHNPY0Nnb2dXZUZEektnV1FJTlBMdkEtbTEtcyJ9. Incidentally, it kept asking me to sign in, even though I wasn't using private windows or anything. So, I had to restart VPN Beta every time, even though I'd already done so. Basically, now I can't even start. They're trying to block such services in Russia, and apparently your site, mozilla.org, was caught in the crossfire, and I don't know what to do. Your built-in VPN was convenient enough that I could just turn it on for a few seconds to access a blocked site, rather than mess around with VPN clients. Perhaps if my Mozilla account never crashed and I didn't have to log in every time, this problem wouldn't exist, and I could activate the VPN right away, without logging in through a blocked site, since I'm sure the server itself is working. Maybe this can be done through the settings somehow? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The instructions for changing country in built in VPN do not work as after clicking on icon it states open VPN and nothing happens to open it. I am trying to set France as my country.

I am signed in to Mozilla account but the VPN plug in never gives me the option to turn it ON. I see the VPN plug in in the tool bar, every time I click on it, it tells me to sign in to my account even though I am already signed in. It never presents the option to turn "on" like I see in the FAQ. The "Turn on VPN" option never appears.

I have installed Firefox VPN, but it is disabled by default so I have to enable it whenever I use it . How can I change the default setting to make it on by default

I wanted to turn on the built-in VPN feature on my Firefox web browser. After I clicked on the Get Started button, and I signed in to my account, Afterwards, I saw the same Get Started dialog box appear again. Why is this happening?

I have had quite a bit of difficulty getting Firefox VPN working. I just now got it working because of an article I found on Gizmodo.

Setting browser.ipprotection.enabled to true fixed the problem of the VPN button not showing up immediately.

I am just wondering if there is a way this could have been done through normal Firefox settings, whether this could be added to the Firefox help documents on this subject (I could not find them, but it already may be there.), and whether this could have any other harmful security effects since I got this from a non-Mozilla source.

Thank You!

Just did another browser update and running 152.0.2 (aarch64)

when will the free vpn become available to me? I've been reading and watching for the invite box on the toolbar and don't see it.

thanks, can't wait!
