How do I configure Firefox so that it uses the integrated VPN for certain websites but not for everything?

I can only see a way to configure a list of websites it will not use the VPN which is the exact opposite.

I'm not concerned about, for example, Amazon because there isn't any privacy there anyway. But I do not want my use of some other websites monitored.

I have tried accessing various Websites, including Google.com; DuckDuckGo.Com; whatismyipaddress.com, and this Mozilla support page. For each, I recieved the message: "Unable to find the proxy server". Turning the Firefox VPN off immediately enablabed the Websites to be loaded.

As you will appreciate, putting Websites on the exclude list should be done with care, and by exception. If the VPN doesn't work on well-known Websites, it's not exactly ... useful. 😥

So every few days now if the free VPN is on I get my tabs locked into an error. I get that warning screen and sites stop loading or partly load, before the VPN update I never had to close Firefox this often, if left idle with the VPN on this seems to happen faster, I have left the VPN on overnight and I tend to nearly 90% of the time wake up to this error, if I disable the VPN fully I can pick up where I was but cutting it back on I have high odds that it will break, Firefox is idle while I do other stuff and the VPN is on, I get that error and I get to watch the weather app give me it's error. I have never had Firefox fight my antivirus It worked fine for ages, and only now do I need to reset Firefox by force now every 1 to 3 days. I use to be able to leave tabs open, but now they always error out in a few days. It could be other things, I just never had problems like this until now, it's so common and in the same time tables.

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.

Hello, I've turned the VPN on in my firefox web browser, but some sites are still blocking me even though it says I'm in the US when I look up my IP Address. Just thought you should know. Thanks.

Every time I open Firefox I get a message saying "Getting close to your VPN Limit. You have _ GB left. Your data will reset at the start of next month" and I want to stop seeing it

The Firefox browser VPN option and toolbar button for Firefox 150 was originally showing up after a recent update (was not signed into the browser), but when I signed into the account as needed to activate VPN, the VPN toolbar button and options under security settings disappeared. I can't find the vpn button to add back under the 'customize toolbar setting' as suggested. And when I go under privacy and security settings, the VPN section is no longer there. How do I get the VPN options back? I tried signing out of Firefox and then back in. I tried disconnecting 'sync' from the computer and that didn't change anything either. I've updated the browser on all devices I'm signed into to 150.0.1. The VPN toolbar button or setting option does not show up on any device I am using. The only browser I initially saw the VPN options on was the browser that I wasn't initially signed into, and it disappeared after I signed into the browser with the account.

None of the suggestions at the following help page work to get the VPN options back in the browser settings, or toolbar: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox
