Firefox Community Forum

I live in the UK. There is no VPN on my Mozilla browser, on OS MAC Tahoe, that is why I have not yet set Firefox to my default browser. I am using free Proton VPN instead. Why is there no Firefox VPN on my updated Firefox? Thanks for your help. D

Hi, I got a message the browser was updated and a VPN option added. The instruction said there would be a button on the toolbar, there wasn't. It then said if not, go to customize toolbar and add the button. However, there wasn't a button to add from the selection. So what's up??

I am trying to comprehend the VPN button on the toolbar. It clearly has an "x" to close the vpn icon, but instead it brings it up. What is the "x" close icon intending to close?

Also, while I understand it is a useful tool, I do not understand why VPN is auto-added to the toolbar. That should be an option for the user. For most people it is just adding noise, or a few extra clicks to hide. I like the way Brave does it, handling it similarly to private browsing. Is there a way to use it this way?

Thanks for any guidance/info.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2030039 Steps to reproduce:

   Open Firefox
   Enable Firefox VPN
   Go to VPN settings
   Try to add a domain to the exclusion list
   Attempt to use a wildcard (e.g., *.ru) or a regex pattern

Actual results:

The VPN only accepts exact domain names. Wildcards and regular expressions are not supported.

Expected results:

It should be possible to:

   Use wildcard patterns (e.g., *.ru) or regular expressions to exclude groups of domains
   Define more specific rules that override general patterns (e.g., exclude *.ru but allow a specific domain within that zone)

This would provide more flexible and practical control over VPN routing.

I am unable to turn VPN on or select a location. This appears to have started after the latest Foxfire update. Are there any steps I can take to correct this issue?

you offer since some days an integrated VPN. I tried several times to install it. I miss the VPN Icon in the toolbar. I also looked for the mentioned icon in the additional tools for the toolbar, icon not found. Do I have the wrong version of firefox? Whats wrong?
