disabling built-in VPN pop-up

I have removed the icon from my toolbar; I have gone into Settings to try and disable the notification; I have tried about:config and switching browser.vpn_promo.enabled to false, and browser.contentblocking.report.hide_vpn_banner to true; I've even turned off my VPN settings on my PC, despite this being browser protection only...nothing is stopping this little pop-up. It is tedious and I would prefer having control over my notifcations, so please help.
