The new built in VPN is not showing up on my laptop browser. I have version 150 so it should be on there if I'm not mistaken. I can not find any way to get it to show up. It has shown up on my work computer so I know what it looks like and how to activate it when I see it.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for adding the new Firefox VPN toggle. I used to use the google one VPN before they shut it down, and some websites I browse have region specific things I can't use in the US.

Please keep supporting and implementing the Firefox VPN, it greatly improves my experience on Firefox.

I was wondering is it possible to use the built in, free, Firefox VPN to access websites that might be blocked based on location? Such as Imgur.com from the UK, for example?

Hi,

I have set up a Mozilla ID and followed the instructions to see if Firefox will let me set up its new VPN - as I am based in the UK, I thought I would be eligible. Having logged onto Mozilla, I cannot see any VPN-related things in Firefox and I cannot restart Firefox as this will log me out of Mozilla.

When will this option be available to commoners like me?

Thanks

Hello there,

I downloaded and installed the new Firefox browser in basis getting a FireFox VPN for free (50Gb a month). However, upon installation and signing, I found that I have no or can't see Firefox VPN of the tool bar to enable.

Can you explain why this is the case.

many thanks ukbabu

when i open my mozilla vpn there is no longer a panel. to select diffent locations .am i doing something if so let know what the problem is so i do not have to buy some other vpn

There appears to be a setting to force certain domains to never use the Firefox VPN if the VPN is turned on. There should also be a way to set it so that only selected domains use the VPN. Maybe a 3 choice VPN setting something like this: VPN on for all sites (except sites on the never use VPN list) VPN on for specified sites only VPN off

There should also be an option to automatically turn the VPN on in private windows. Since private windows are designed to minimize browsing activity stored on the local computer so that someone who uses the computer after you have quit Firefox won't have the history, cookies, and other relics of browsing activity and (public) VPNs are designed to limit the amount of information that your local network can detect about what sites you're connecting to and what you're doing, it seems likely that many (though probably not all) users who use private mode to limit what other users of that computer can see about their online activity would probably appreciate limiting the information that other users/network admins of their ISP, school, work, public Wifi, etc. can gather about their activity.

I understand the VPN feature in firefox is a proxy and not a VPN. VPNs are often secured using OpenVPN & Wireguard, whereas proxies are often secured using only HTTPS. How is traffic through the firefox proxy secured? Is it end-to-end? Thank you.

My friend and I usually use the same account on Firefox and he dismissed the pop up for the new VPN a few times, according to him. Every page I can find about setting up the VPN involves this pop up, and I cannot find another way to activate this.

I tried to log out of my friend's Firefox account and into mine, but the pop up did not appear for me. Is there another way I can set that up?
