Hi Willem,

Your English is fine! And honestly, I can relate with your experience. From what I noticed, there are 2 things that normally impact website performance when using Firefox built-in VPN:

  • Using recommended location usually helps speed up performance compared to when I choose a specific country.
  • Restarting VPN usually helps with performance after I haven't used my device for awhile then it turned into sleep mode.

I'd recommend trying the above and let me know how if it helps! (:

Hello Kiki

Thank you for your response

My son has been working on this all afternoon to get it right

Unfortunately, no improvement

I think the intention behind free VPNs is good, but not yet for the general public

In any case, I am turning it off

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that.

I noticed that you're still using Firefox version 151. It may also help to update to the latest release, Firefox 151.0.4, if you'd like to give it another try.
