Firefox now offers a free built-in VPN. Use this feature for easy protection when traveling and using public Wi-Fi, searching for sensitive health information, or shopping for personal items. After logging in, turn on the feature to hide your location and IP address through a secure proxy while using Firefox. 50GB of VPN usage is provided each month, and you can also turn the feature on or off for specific websites. This feature will be rolled out starting today in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.
Enterprise Note: This feature is not available for use in enterprise environments and will not be deployed to users subject to enterprise policies.

Until then, organizations can block manual activation using the BlockAboutConfig policy.
