In Firefox 141, a new experimental feature has appeared: browser.ipProtection.enabled.
Bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show/_bug.cgi?id=1971634

Is this independent of Mozilla VPN, or is it just a Nimbus setting?

Maybe someone already has more info about what exactly this feature does?

    it looks like it’s just some new in-browser advertising for Mozilla (Mullvad) VPN :/

    one of the bugs linked from the bug that you linked to says this:

    Feature callout that introduces the new VPN integration. Has two variants depending whether the user is signed in or signed out, prompting the user to either turn on the VPN or sign in for access. Targeting will need to reach users who have been selected for the Nimbus experiment rolling out VPN integration but do not have it turned on.
