Firefox Community Forum

Hi, I recently started using Firefox's beta built-in VPN and look forward to the protection it will provide. One small problem... every time I close Firefox, the VPN deactivates, requiring me to manually activate the VPN. How do I set VPN to remain active all the time? Thanks for your support. Stay well.

Hey there Mozilla team, Love the new free built-in VPN for the browser and Kit. :D But I have problems with enabling the VPN. I am on Linux Kubuntu and the VPN cannot start. Funnily enough when i turn on Mozilla VPN on device level the Browser VPN does manage the enable itself.

Also I have a question about the Mozilla VPN browser extension. Is support for Linux still being worked on? And could we see the support being implemented soon?

Have a wonderful Day

First of all I've noticed that even logging in to the account management page doesn't work with my vpn on. So of course sync itself doesn't either. It works perfectly fine with it off though. Is there an IP address that I can add to split tunneling to allow only the sync/FF account manager through my vpn? Or another way I'm not aware of? I'd rather not have to allow the whole browser through my vpn if possible.

What are the step-to-step instructions in order to use Free VPN? (see attached image) I did a query on the web and it came back stating that Firefox VPN was not free. I am confused. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

I have tried accessing various Websites, including Google.com; DuckDuckGo.Com; whatismyipaddress.com, and this Mozilla support page. For each, I recieved the message: "Unable to find the proxy server". Turning the Firefox VPN off immediately enablabed the Websites to be loaded.

As you will appreciate, putting Websites on the exclude list should be done with care, and by exception. If the VPN doesn't work on well-known Websites, it's not exactly ... useful. 😥

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.

Currently if I have the Forfox built-in VPN turned on when using my Xfinity email account, I regularly (and annoyingly) get the "server unreachable" error message. I understand this is not uncomman. Is this issue being addressed before release of the final version?

This morning, I turned on the VPN for the first time. My Windows 11 seemed to operate normally, but sometime later, when I attempted to access my Drafts, they would not load even after refreshing the screen. A message appeared: "No internet connection." As soon as I turned off the VPN, my system resumed its normal operation.

My 2nd issue is that Grammarly has a pop-up ad that stays on my screen even though I removed the program from Extensions and Themes in the Mozilla Tools menus. Previously, I had opted out of the new AI participation. When I type emails, I can't see what I am typing, and Escape doesn't remove it.

Beside my VPN icon in toolbar is a circle with a exclamation mark inside. When I try to turn on VPN, I get a message that says that I cannot and to try again later. Why?
