Firefox for Desktop is expanding VPN availability to the following locations as part of the wave 1 expansion:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Norway, South Africa, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Chile, Colombia, Mexico. Japan will be a fast follow, but will NOT go live with the wave 1 expansion initially. As a result we need to update the note on KB article and add a new Common question to the foot of the article that lists all available locales.
- Update Progressive rollout note to refer to the common questions section for territory availability (ex. "Built-in VPN is only available in select locales. Check here(link to common question) for available regions."
