"This website may not work with a VPN." Banner - even though I'm not using a VPN!

Hello everyone,

For the past few days, I've been seeing the following banner below the address bar on ardmediathek.de :

This website may not work with a VPN. Try signing in or turning VPN off while you use this website.

At first, I assumed this was some kind of anti-VPN or geo-blocking script from the media library itself. However, according to transvision.flod.org it appears to be related to Firefox's ipp-activator-breakage-sign-in-warning feature.

I don't have a VPN, proxy, or DoH enabled, and the VPN button isn't being displayed to me (yet) either. So why is IP Protection interfering here in the first place?

What I think of the ever-growing number of supposedly intelligent services that keep tinkering away in the background and seem to believe they need to take over users' tasks is probably better left unsaid. ;-)

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Best regards, Martin

Oh nice find verifying via transvision, hat tip!

This is unfortunately a defect https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2047438 that was implemented like this "as designed" but is hands down just… confusing:( It has internal reporter pushing for this so hopefully it will get reevaluated soon.
