it sounds like an issue with setupVPN, but I don't know how we could resolve that on our end if the add on is having issues, have you looked for support for setupVPN online?

the add-on i had been using is call setupVPN. so where it not working i went to check firefox add-on to see what wrong that when i saw the ( This is not a Recommended Extension. Make sure you trust it before installing.) i was thinking i had been using setupVPN for so long maybe i try other VPN add-on that when i discover all the VPN add-on saying the same thing ( This is not a Recommended Extension. Make sure you trust it before installing.) so when i try to search for a recommended VPN add-on in the end it came up with nothing

Hello RM 201,

When you clock on "Learn more" you will see this :

Personally I don't think it was a very good idea to add that comment about the extension not being recommended - gives users the wrong idea.
