It was announced under update 150.0.1 that a 50GB Free monthly VPN was available, however this is not the case in Brazil.

Is this a bug? Is there a due data for the activation? Is there any farther configuration needed to make it work?

PC / Win11

Thank you!

I am attempting to use Firefox's new built-in VPN to hide my browsing and use sites that are restricted like Reddit on a common wifi while I am on breaks. It worked on these common wifi systems for a little bit, but last week I believe, it just stopped working one day. Now, when I turn on the VPN, the only thing Firefox will do is display the following error: ~~~~~ Unable to find the proxy server

Firefox can’t connect to the server at [insert url here] What can you do about it?

Try connecting on a different device. Check your modem or router. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi. ~~~~~ I was originally running Firefox 149 via snap on Ubuntu, but I just uninstalled the snap package and switched to 150.0.1 via the Mozilla APT repository and I am getting identical behavior. Is this just a bug, or is it possible the administrator here has explicitly blocked Firefox VPN? Is there anything else I can do about it, since connecting on a different device doesn't help me, I can't check the modem or router, and disconnecting and reconnecting does nothing?

The Firefox browser VPN option and toolbar button for Firefox 150 was originally showing up after a recent update (was not signed into the browser), but when I signed into the account as needed to activate VPN, the VPN toolbar button and options under security settings disappeared. I can't find the vpn button to add back under the 'customize toolbar setting' as suggested. And when I go under privacy and security settings, the VPN section is no longer there. How do I get the VPN options back? I tried signing out of Firefox and then back in. I tried disconnecting 'sync' from the computer and that didn't change anything either. I've updated the browser on all devices I'm signed into to 150.0.1. The VPN toolbar button or setting option does not show up on any device I am using. The only browser I initially saw the VPN options on was the browser that I wasn't initially signed into, and it disappeared after I signed into the browser with the account.

None of the suggestions at the following help page work to get the VPN options back in the browser settings, or toolbar: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox

Hello,

At the last FF update, I discovered that I had VPN on my top status bar but what does it do?

I have v. 150.0.1 (64 bit). Also Windows 11. I live in France and the only reason to use a VPN is to watch a UK soap which I cannot watch by any other means unless it's live on the TV. I know how to turn it on (obvious), so when I use the BBC website, this is what I do. But it makes not the slightest bit of difference as I am still recognised as being outside the UK.

Am I not doing something please?

Hello, I use Firefox 150.0.1 on Linux Mint 22.3. I want to use the VPN integrated in Firefox but I don't see the VPN icon in the toolbar. How can I use the integrated VPN in this version of Firefox ? Thanks for your help.

Hi Firefox,

I am unable to add and test the new VPN feature found in the link below:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn#

I believe i may have clicked no thanks on the feature initially but when I go into customize tool bar, there is no option to readd the VPN to the toolbar.

I used the built in VPN, and now I either have to use private, or use a different browser entirely. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, restarted both my internet and PC. I do not know what else to do.
