I don't see the VPN icon in my tool bar. How do I access it?

The new VPN icon is suppose to be accessible in the tool bar. I don't see it. How to I access it?

The about:config preference browser.ipProtection.enabled controls if the VPN button shows up or not. Most likely it's set to false. Toggling it to true should turn it on. Apparently it is on a progressive roll-out.

Here's a Reddit thread that talks about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1s2ik4l/introducing_firefoxs_builtin_vpn_ip_protection/

Mine still defaults to false so it doesn't show unless I toggle it.

Also the built-in VPN in desktop Firefox is currently only rolled out in US, UK, Germany, France and Canada. It is being rolled out in 22 additional locations for the Fx 152.0 release.
