Does blocking Mozilla VPN for the people of Iran not undermine the global movement for democracy and internet freedom?

Hamid Salar

Subject: Regarding the Geo-blocking of Firefox VPN for Iranian Users

Dear Mozilla Team,

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and concern regarding the recent geo-blocking of the Firefox built-in VPN for users in Iran, which has resulted in the error message "VPN is unavailable due to local laws and restrictions."

Until recently, this service worked for many users in Iran. The sudden restriction is not merely a technical inconvenience; it directly contradicts Mozilla's core manifesto, which states that the internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible, and that individuals' security and privacy are fundamental.

By blocking access based on geographical location, you are effectively doing the work of censors. In a country where access to the open internet is already severely restricted, cutting off a privacy tool for ordinary people who rely on it for daily work, security, and access to information is a blow to the very democratic values Mozilla claims to uphold.

I urge you to reconsider this policy and restore access to the Firefox VPN for users in Iran. True internet freedom cannot be conditional on a user's country of origin.

Will you commit to fixing this major flaw and helping the people of Iran secure free and open access to the internet?

Sincerely: H.salar

Hi Hamid,

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 now?
