The built-in vpn repeatedly returns to Get Started after successful authentication

Hi I'm having this issue with the built-in vpn for firefox where it keeps sending me back to the "Get Started" page every time I sign in. The vpn was working just fine last until I closed the browser and opened it again a few minutes later. I asked Chatgpt for help but couldn't fix the issue and it sent me here. There are no policies listed on the about policies page, the remote improvements setting is enabled and there are no vpn holdback studies appearing in the about:studies page. Also, the issue persists even in troubleshoot mode. Any ideas how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance
