Why doesn’t Mozilla VPN work in Iran, and what official solution do you offer for Iranian users?
ubject: Formal Request Regarding Mozilla VPN Accessibility for Users in Iran
Dear Mozilla Support Team,
I am writing to you as an Iranian user of Mozilla Firefox and related Mozilla services. I would like to raise a formal concern regarding the functionality and availability of Mozilla VPN for users residing in Iran.
From my experience, Mozilla VPN does not function properly for users located in Iran, despite a genuine and practical need for such a service. I fully understand that users in Europe and the United States often use VPN services primarily to enhance privacy and security. However, for users in Iran, a VPN is not merely an optional privacy tool; it is often a real necessity for accessing an open and unrestricted internet.
I would therefore appreciate your clarification on the following points:
Why Mozilla VPN does not work reliably for users residing in Iran;
Whether this limitation is due to technical restrictions, regional availability policies, or legal/compliance requirements;
Whether Mozilla can offer any compliant solution, official guidance, or recommended alternative for users in Iran who genuinely require VPN access.
I would be grateful if you could review this matter and provide a formal response at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention and for your continued work on privacy and internet accessibility.

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. We appreciate your patience.
