Why can't I see the built-in VPN button on 1.50 MacOS?

I updated to 1.50 and I am unable to see the VPN button in my toolbar. Any suggestions on how to access it?

"I found this by searching with google. Using a new tab on your browser type in about:config a search bar comes up, type in browser.ipprotection.enabled if it says false then you should be able to push the button all the way on the right to set it to true."

Hi,

It's not available to all users yet. Are you in one of the countries included in the rollout? (See the note at the top of this article.)

Check the browser settings—there’s usually a toggle for VPN under privacy/security. Also try customizing the toolbar, as the button can sometimes be hidden.
