If you need one, then the service you are using is not a VPN.

Didn't get you. I use uBlock Origin for Ad-Block & Mag Down for Torrent Magnet Files. Likewise, i need an add-on for VPN to access sites which are not accessible by my ISP. Please reply if you know any add-on for VPN here on Palemoon.

VPN is something arranged at the network level, not at the application level.
You don't need an add-on to use any VPN. If a "VPN" service requires that you use an add-on to use them, then it's not a real VPN (it'll likely be a proxy instead which is not a VPN, and does not provide the same level of protection or redirection).

What, you think I can wave my hands and presto! have a service extension for you for 3rd party services that misrepresent themselves? :lol:
