How to use duckduckgo vpn

Was editing my shortcuts when i saw a duckduckgo vpn feature yet it does not work. Ive tried and nothing has work. When i hold the icon, it just redirects me to the settings in the browser which doesnt have a option for vpn. Am using a xiaomi device running hyperos. Any help would be appreciated.

For the DuckDuckGo VPN, a subscription is needed.

Also only available for the USA.

Hello. If you don’t mind I would like to ask you a question. On Android does DDG App Tracking Protection do anything different than setting my private DNS to dns.adguard.com?

Yes, it is different. It blocks it as a firewall, even if the app has hardcoded IP to go around DNS blocking
