What is the story on the VPN, a few weeks ago the previous versions new features banner said you have a new VPN option, my Firefox browser did not show the VPN button, today got a new update to 151.0 with a NEW whats new banner promoting the VPN option and I STILL do not get the VPN button. I checked customize toolbar and the VPN button is not there either.

WHY are you showing this as available when it is not ?

If you are in one of the five locations and still do not see indication of VPN then Go to about:config (with a colon  : )

In search above search for preference name browser.ipProtection.enabled and make sure it is true
