Mozilla VPN SOCKS Proxy not working with Multi-account Containers #10825

@bdlmf-git

Description

@bdlmf-git

Describe the bug
Mozilla VPN is supposed to automatically configure a SOCKS proxy that can be used on containers to bypass VPN using socks://localhost:3182 under advanced proxy settings in the Multi-account Container extension. This doesn't work as expected, and containers configured that way result in a "proxy server refusing connections".

VPN version:
2.31.1 (2.31.1~rc20250923174620-static1)

Affected Platforms:
Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon

Prerequisites:
<Optional: Any special steps taken not related to the app to trigger the bug>

Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to have a container bypass Mozilla VPN using Multi-account Container extension advanced proxy settings with "socks://localhost:3182"

Expected result:
Any traffic from configured containers should bypass Mozilla VPN

Actual result:
No traffic is allowed as proxy does not seem to be configured/running.

Additional notes:
<Optional: Any Screenshots, Videos, Logs>
