Firefox Community Forum

I am unable to activate the built-in VPN. I am in a loop of getting started -> Activate Firefox’s built-in VPN for extra privacy and protection' then I click 'Continue' and then I get again back to 'get started'. The built-in VPN never activates. I am signed in while doing that and I am using a macbook to run firefox.

I had to sign up for the Mozilla VPN before I could open my Yahoo account. I don't know what this is and don't want to pay for it. If it's part of my Firefox account, that's fine, but I don't want anything that will cost me.

I saw the update that you added vpn to firefox, but I can't use it. It doesn't show up in the toolbar anywhere and there are no vpn options anywhere in settings. When I try and create a second profile THEN I get the vpn option but when I click on it it says that I can only use it with the original profile.

I live in Europe, where this stupid age verification law is in effect. I get around this by using a VPN. The problem is that I have two Firefox profiles set up with the same VPN and the same country. The issue occurs on X (formerly Twitter). On one profile, the VPN works as it should and I no longer need to verify my age, but on the other profile, the VPN has no effect and X (Twitter) asks me to verify my age. Yet the VPN is definitely enabled. I’ve cleared the cache and cookies, but nothing helps. It’s driving me crazy. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

In your information about built in VPN you state "To use VPN, you need to sign in with a Mozilla account. If you’re eligible, you’ll see a prompt in the Firefox toolbar inviting you to set up the feature."

I have a Firefox account and I live in Canada, but it doesn't explain what other eligibility criteria is required or why I'm not seeing the VPN setup prompt. I understand this is an experimental update that is still being selectively rolled out.

I am very interested in this feature and would simple like to know why it's not showing up for me after updating to v150. Do I need to sign out and then sign back in to activate it?

Thanks

thanks for your reply best regards

The VPN works if I Enable DNS over HTTPS using Default Protection, however if I select Max Protection and use Cloudflare, it does not work as it cannot resolve DNS.

If I disable the VPN or select Defualt Protection, DNS works again.

German: Kein intergiertes VPN bei ver. 152.0.5 Win 11 Pro privater Rechner und angemeldetem Konto verfügbar. Wie bekomme ich diese Funktion? English: There is no integrated VPN with Ver. 152.0.5 Win11 Pro, private computer and signin mozilla account available. What to do to get the function?

When I try to set up the new built-in VPN setting it gets stuck in a loop:

I click the "get started" which then opens another tab where it gets me to confirm my account

Once I do that it says it will automatically open the VPN

When it does so the VPN window is the same one as before with just the "get started" button and no other options.

If I click on that it then opens another new tab and does the exact same thing in an unending loop
