Can I not turn it on because of where I am? When I click get started on the VPN extension it opens a tab saying I signed in successfully but when I go to turn it on, there's no toggle switch and just tells me to get started again. It's making me go in a circle with it.

So, I'm not exactly sure what's going on. Whenever I try to turn on Firefox's built-in VPN, either it tells me I cannot connect and to try again in a few minutes, or it just does not respond at all. I know this is vague, but it's literally everything I can muster. I looked through the settings, and nothing there helped.

I can't see the Firefox VPN box in my toolbar. I am sure I had it a couple of months ago, but now it seems to have disappeared. So now I am not sure if my Firefox browser is using it or not. Can anyone advise. I am still on Windows 10 supported Microsoft 360 version.

My version 151.0.2 (64-bit) must support built-in VPN but the VPN setup prompt is not found in the top-right corner of Firefox toolbar nor the VPN icon is found in the toolbar. How can I test built-in VPN?

all the routes off the icon lead to "installation and download links" have done both actions with the same result of red dot and NO access to the free vpn...frustration is gaining steam! I have found the button to turn vpn on and off but even closing the browser after closing nor leaving it on has helped activate the service!!!

Please help, old but not too ignorant!!

I saw that Firefox offers a free VPN with 50 GB per month. However, when I try to sign in and activate it, I only see subscription options. How can I access the free version?

I've just tried turning on the free VPN, but websites like Imgur are still detecting that my connection is from the UK and are blocking my access. I understand this shouldn't happen, and doesn't happen with other VPNs.

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.

I am unable to turn VPN on or select a location. This appears to have started after the latest Foxfire update. Are there any steps I can take to correct this issue?
