Free VPN not apparent

Hi - I've just been updated to the latest version of Firefox and Firefox has offered a free VPN. I clicked to accept but I can't see a VPN control anywhere. I am signed in but there is nothing in the toolbar nor in toolbar icon options and no mention of a VPN in settings. Chat GBT advised downloading the VPN direct from Mozilla and gave a link but this is for a paid for VPN, not a free one. Can you advise me please? Thank you.

The Firefox built-in VPN is offered in stages to users in the U.S., U.K., Germany and France, as mentioned in the Firefox 149 release notes. It is also offered to users in Canada, starting in Firefox version 150. It is not available to everyone, even if you are in one of these locales.

If the built-in VPN is available, you would see a VPN icon in the top-right corner of the toolbar, that opens a prompt to turn on the VPN. You would also need to sign in to a Mozilla account. For more infomation, see the Use built-in VPN in Firefox article.

If you wish, you can post your feedback about the Firefox built-in VPN to the Mozilla Connect thread.
