Hello, I am using mozilla built in VPN but I have an issue as for some sites my internet download manager can't download videos while it can when I use my other VPN app.

Hi soly,

The Mozilla built-in VPN is a browser-level VPN service. So it won't work on a device level apps.

Thanks, but there is no solution for that even on the download manager level ?

As far as I know, most download managers usually run in the device level, which means that it's out of Firefox built-in VPN capablity.
