This what you said: "Today we’re introducing a free built-in VPN in Firefox, a new IP-protection feature designed to keep you even more private while you browse. We’re starting by offering an industry-leading 50 gigabytes of free VPN-browsing each month." But all I see are the paid options. I want to try before I (might) buy. After all, you constantly preach that we have to be careful & trying to be careful.

Hi

The VPN in Firefox is being rolled out to different locales gradually, so may not be available in your location yet.

This "VPN in Firefox" feature is experimental and is being introduced to the Firefox user base through a progressive rollout starting in Fx 149.0. It may not yet be available to all users.

Users will have 50 gigabytes of data monthly in the U.S., France, Germany and U.K. to start. Available in Firefox 149 starting March 24.

Thanks for the fast replies, perhaps you are right that the free feature is being rolled out over time. It just struck me as interesting that the paid VPN of 149 is available now. As I say, I just want to try it first before signing up. Thank you again to those who commented.

Use built-in VPN in Firefox

"To use VPN, you need to sign in with a Mozilla account. If you’re eligible, you’ll see a prompt in the Firefox toolbar inviting you to set up the feature."

The only paid VPN that Mozilla has is the separate subscription based "Mozilla VPN" app. There is no paid version of Firefox with a built-in VPN.

James, you are right but I am talking about within their app. The free version is invisible despite their saying it is available. Perhaps it is being rolled out country by country.

Yes, in the U.S., France, Germany and U.K. to start as I stated. Though I have seen one comment recently say the person is in the US and does not see it yet.

There is this comment in kb article

i had the free vpn for the last 2 days but when i turned the desktop on today it has disappeared?

Why send it to me in Australia, if it's not available? However, a paid subscription is available - doesn't make sense.
