Firefox built-in VPN stopped working

Sup guys. I switched to firefox a while back and as luck would have it, discovered it's perfectly fine free built-in vpn. being from the most notorious country on planet earth, we're extremely restricted in terms of accessing the free world and this felt like a breeze. (Only other way I could connect was using TOR. and it'd take me very very long time to just load a page, just like it's taking right now.) It worked very well for me. one tap connection and all. but this morning I tried using it and suddenly it's giving me the "access blocked in your region" message. I do understand that firefox isn't obligated to provide, but I also think we have nothing to do with those who are ruling us forcefully and also think that feature was a great match for people like us. I'm in a terrible situation mentally, physically and financially. and not really able to find something else since nothing really works here. If someone on Firefox team reads this, I really appreciate some insights. thanks.
