Disable/Enable Mozilla VPN per container in Multi-Account Containers

[dannycolin]

This feature would be useful for websites like Amazon Prime that prevent a user to watch video while using a VPN. We could create a container in which the VPN is disabled while still being protected anywhere else.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

VPN Container Tabs

Hi. VPN container tabs are great (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/protect-your-container-tabs-mozilla-vpn). But it'd be great if you could disable the VPN for a specific container as some sites don't accept access from VPN users (e.g. streaming). So if I'm streaming I need to turn off the whole VPN and then can't browse with the VPN at the same time. So it'd be like excempting specific apps on Android, but within Firefox itself.

Thanks for considering (:

That is a great idea and am surprised that the ability doesn't already exist.

I confirm that such a possibility would be very, very useful, as many shopping sites do not work, or don't accept payments  thru a VPN !!

Oh yeah, this feature would be so nice.

The lack of this feature has kept me from buying Mozilla VPN for the nearly 4 years it has existed. I will gladly switch from Proton to Mozilla when Mozilla implements this integration.
+1 vote from me.

We hear you folks. We are on it 😉

Thank you @Santiago, that’s nice to hear. In the same vein, are there any projects aimed at integrating the VPN directly as a browser extension and removing the need for the heavy client application?

[Santiago]

@NikozenThat will take a bit longer, but we hope to do that too 🙂

Doesn't it now do that?

Hi,

Any news on this? I am not able a this moment to bypass the vpn for some container afaik, did I miss something? If I exclude Firefox directly in Mozilla VPN, the vpn no longer work inside the containers (proxy error, kinda expected I guess), if I let firefox through the vpn, it works (obviously) but apparently I can't select "no vpn" so it is not optimal. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
