Thanks Raluca, can you re-test with browser.ipProtection.enabled=true? I believe this section is only enabled through that pref which may be managed remotely

Tested with browser.ipProtection.enabled=true, and confirmed that the VPN card is displayed, but the card seems to look a bit different from the Figma design. (Please see the attached screenshot)
