Hello Mozilla Support,

I have been using Firefox's built-in VPN successfully for some time, but it has suddenly stopped working and now displays this message:

"VPN is unavailable – Local laws and restrictions limit where you can use VPN." 

Could you please clarify whether this is due to regional restrictions or sanctions, and whether there is any possibility of restoring access?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi kiansina275,

We recently discovered potential abuse of Firefox’s free built-in VPN by unauthorized third-party apps and temporarily disrupted access to investigate. Service has now been restored.

Can you try again and see if it works?
