Firefox VPN: Add wildcard/regex domain exclusions with exceptions

Firefox VPN

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2030039 Steps to reproduce: 

   Open Firefox
   Enable Firefox VPN
   Go to VPN settings
   Try to add a domain to the exclusion list
   Attempt to use a wildcard (e.g., *.ru) or a regex pattern

Actual results:

The VPN only accepts exact domain names. Wildcards and regular expressions are not supported.

Expected results:

It should be possible to: 

   Use wildcard patterns (e.g., *.ru) or regular expressions to exclude groups of domains
   Define more specific rules that override general patterns (e.g., exclude *.ru but allow a specific domain within that zone)

This would provide more flexible and practical control over VPN routing.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. When a Mozilla employee jumps into a discussion, you'll see the Mozilla Staff label next to their name.

If you wish, you can leave feedback for developers on the Mozilla Connect website. Click the Firefox Menu Fx89menuButton button in the toolbar, click Help and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback is collected by a team that reads it and gathers data on the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
