If the VPN is open in one user account on a given computer, is it functioning on all accounts on this computer? I have difficulty turning the VPN on when using one user account if it is already on in another user account. Seems to be a conflict and I don't know if it is even necessary.

Hi All,

I have tried the new free browser VPN however it does not load pages if I am using a custom DNS (Quad9) and have DNS over HTTPS enabled. Is this expected behaviour and just a limitation of the VPN?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

You say, "Some essential Mozilla services are excluded from VPN routing to ensure sign-in, VPN reconnection, and screens needed to sign in for public Wi-Fi work properly. All other browsing activity in Firefox remains protected when the VPN is on."

How then am I protected in any kind of secure way?

All it would take is the Mozilla services using my public IP to lose my browsing protection. How are those connections secured to protect my identity from being exposed once the VPN is enabled and even after the VPN is enabled?

If the public IP can be discovered at sign-in, re-connections, and public Wi-Fi connections before the VPN is enabled, then that same public IP can be traced through internal logs to uncover all the VPN activity done after sign-in, re-connections, and public Wi-Fi access. So, how exactly can I trust the VPN protects my activity at all?

I'm just curious how you setup any protection prior to the VPN being enabled? I'm a former IT Network Specialist I had my CISCO CCNA certificate (Worked in school districts who wouldn't pay for additional certificates so I did all the study work and practice testing up to the CCNP certification just could never afford to take any of the exams beyond the CCNA). So, when I see these additional things like your 50 GB of free browser VPN and read how it works I get curious about the actual protections being provided. Are the people more vulnerable than they may be led to believe?

I enabled the Firefox browser VPN as a test and then disabled it, after the Google search no longer worked.

Error says Google.com is unavailable, can't connect to servers etc.

Any ideas how to fix it ?

I need to access the texting app when traveling abroad. Textedly is only accessible in the US and Canada, and the only supported way to use it from another country is to connect through a VPN that routes through the US or Canada. Does Firefox's VPN connect to a US or Canada server?

I use Windows 10 and have Nord VPN. I installed Firefox VPN and turned off Nord. Now when I open Firefox all the articles are gone. If I turn on Firefox VPN all the sites say "Unable to find proxy server", I went to settings network and selected "no proxy" but still the same. Is there a way to fix it if not how do I delete Firefox VPN. Thanks.

I've just tried turning on the free VPN, but websites like Imgur are still detecting that my connection is from the UK and are blocking my access. I understand this shouldn't happen, and doesn't happen with other VPNs.

Hello,

My firefox has been updated to include the new VPN feature, which I'm very excited for!, but when I click on the VPN button on my toolbar, and after I sign in, I can see the "Turn on VPN" button but nothing happens when I click on it. It's been like this for a couple of weeks now and I just assumed it was something that would be fixed eventually, knowing that this feature is still in beta. But now that it's been a few weeks with no change, I thought it best to actually reach out and bring it to your attention.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Kind regards, pflippflop09

Have activated Firefox VPN testing BBC iPlayer U.K. from Germany location but VPN doesn't work. it's the same for skysports.com. - from this experience, it seems that the Firefox VPN doesn't work.

How do I configure Firefox so that it uses the integrated VPN for certain websites but not for everything?

I can only see a way to configure a list of websites it will not use the VPN which is the exact opposite.

I'm not concerned about, for example, Amazon because there isn't any privacy there anyway. But I do not want my use of some other websites monitored.

I recently enabled Firefox's built in VPN. Signed into my Mozilla account, and when I toggle the VPN ON, every site gives "Secure Connection Failed". If I toggle the VPN OFF, it all goes back to normal.
